Review: Tower Defense

I've said earlier, some applications (more specifically, games) lend themselves more than easily to a mobile platform such as Windows Phones. The trick for software developers is to create an immersive gaming experience without making the game hard to apply or compromising performance. Belfry Defense from Color Stone does an beauteous chore of entertaining the user while still being perfectly playable.

Click on through for the full review.

Concept

The thought behind Tower Defense is that you have to defend your base (or Tower) from the enemy units. Every bit you successfully complete waves, the units go faster or stronger. The goal is to strategize in the mode that you lot defend your base of operations in order to defend against the different combinations of units that yous volition face.

Features

There are a couple of different things that make the game somewhat complicated. First of all are the different towers that you tin build. Different towers provide unlike firepower, and impact the enemy units in different ways; such as slowing them. Equally you progress the enemy units brainstorm to move faster, taking them out of firing range faster; they likewise brainstorm to be stronger, allowing them to take more impairment; and you brainstorm to run across enemy units that fly, significant they don't have to maneuver around your towers and through a gauntlet of your towers.

Game Play

The nature of the game is that information technology is played in waves, or groups of enemy units. Once the wave has passed, and all of the enemies are destroyed or they attain your base; there is a break before the side by side moving ridge begins. The Tower Defense interface offers controls to speed upward the game (both the enemy units and your weapons), because the waves tin can be a piffling slow to progress at normal speeds. Game play can besides be paused in order for y'all to build complicated paths for your enemies to navigate.

The strategy of the game comes into play as you attempt to steer the enemy units where yous want them to go in guild to inflict the maximum possible damage. Different types of towers have different costs, and as yous successfully destroy enemy units you earn money in guild to upgrade the quality and quantity of your defenses.

Conclusion

Belfry Defense is one of the better games that I've seen for Windows Mobile. It can be a little repetitive later on a while, simply in social club to finer master the game yous have to continually reconfigure and upgrade your defenses.

One caveat for Belfry Defense is that you lot must have a device that supports VGA or WVGA resolutions. If yous're device meets those requirements, this really is an amazing game. Belfry Defence force is available at the Windows Marketplace for Mobile or if you lot prefer, the WMExperts Store.
