Or perhaps its because they like the thought of commanding a variety of weapons, knowing that enemies WILL walk into firing range. Whatever the reason, people like Tower Defense Games, and so do I. Here is a list of some of the best Tower Defense Games made.
Protector is one of the most elaborate Tower Defense Games ever made. Instead of “towers”, there are human units that attack in different ways, with different special abilities. There are many maps, with different difficulties. Completing a map will give you a skill point, which can be used to buy upgrades. Countless hours will be wasted on this game. The game even provides a timer telling you the number of hours wasted!
Desktop Tower Defense is most likely the most famous tower defense game there is. After being introduced and made popular on Digg.com, it has gotten more than 1,900,000 game plays, on a single site! This game features many waves, with unique towers, and “challenge” and “fun” modes.
Monkeys popping balloons. Who doesn't want to play a game involving monkeys popping balloons? Don't let the first few waves fool you. This game can get tricky after the different types of balloons come. Also, make sure you read the commentary in between rounds. Some of them give hints, while some are actually quit funny.
Toytown Tower Defense is one of the more creative tower defense games. In addition to having towers, there is also a “hero”. This hero acts as a moveable towers, leveling up as you progress through the game. The three heroes each have special abilities. Toytown Tower Defense also has very cute animations.
Ant Buster is perhaps the best stress-relieving Tower Defense game out there. Instead of waiting for waves, the next ant appears after you destroy an ant. There are many cannons, with different upgrade paths. Experiment and find out which cannons work best!
Small note: On this game, my furthest level reached was level 74. By then, the ants are almost impossible to kill. If anyone gets past 74, please post a comment with the towers you find most effective.
Canyon Defense is one of the newer Tower Defense games out there. There are many different types of enemies and units. Use abilities to aid you in tough spots. Very smooth graphics.
