The gameplay is mostly the same as other tower defense games here. You've got your typical baddies running along a set path, and you have to kill them before they reach your command center. If they manage to get that far, they'll start attacking it until it is destroyed, but I'm sure you already knew that (duh). The towers are the way all classic tower defense towers are: You've got your laser that shoots quickly and does low damage per shot, your bomb tower that fires bombs (what else?), and the disruption tower that slows down enemies. There are lots of little nifty doohickeys that you can use to help you, like a drone that attacks enemies as they run along the path, or one that can either repair your HQ or turrets or collect resources to aid your defensive effort. You can build these drones once your base produces enough power, which can be accelerated by the construction of (expensive) generators.You have a commander that can help you defend yourself, and there is usually at least one barricade and one structure that provides a constant bonus, like a factory that produces money every round. You can also use that power that I talked about earlier to use the bases' abilities, like a missile strike that kills enemies over a large area.
If there's one thing that I don't like about the game, it's that you have to beat a level on easy before being able to play on harder difficulties. Since the game is easy, this is a minor annoyance, but it is balanced out by the fact that it is fantastic for pretty much anyone. Noobs can play on easy, while hardcores can play on psycho difficulty!
Outside of a level, you earn credits as you progress and as you climb higher on the global leaderboards, which can be spent on permanent upgrades for your abilities and towers. Your commander also gains XP and skill points, which can be put towards his guns, tech, or strength. He will unlock more abilities as he levels up as well.
Overall, this game is really great for tower defense fans and strategy gamers in general! It is a return to the roots of tower defense games, while having all sorts of modern features such as cloud saving to go along with it.
It goes for $2.99 normally, which isn't too bad for an app.
