Fort Defense did a good job making these towers more powerful by giving them these additional powers. In tower defenses I don’t generally waste time and space with money towers though since they usually just waste space that could have been better used with a tower that could actually attack the enemies. In video games I am generally a money hoarder who rarely ever spends his money.
Forts game tower upgrade#
Its’ final form can either teleport enemies back to the beginning of their path or it can be used to upgrade the power and range of all nearby towers. In particular I think the game should have had a dedicated tower to slow down enemies instead of just giving that power to one of the upgraded forms of the arrow tower.įort Defense did a good job by giving the money tower additional abilities in its’ final form instead of just generating cash. Fort Defense is kind of lacking in variety in tower types which kind of hurts the game. Each tower can then be upgrade one additional time to one of two final forms that provide special benefits for the tower. Each type of tower can be upgraded two times which increases their range and power. Fort Defense comes with four different types of towers.There is an arrow tower (fast but weaker), cannon (stronger but slower), splash (has large area of attack and high damage but is slow), and the money/upgrade tower. With that said, I found Fort Defense to be a very average tower defense game.įort Defense is of the more typical variety of tower defense games where you can only build towers on predetermined points around the map. I would consider myself a big fan of the genre. This genre of games is somewhat of a acquired taste as some people are bored by tower defense games while others love them. In order to attack these enemies you need to build towers along a path in order to kill the enemies before they reach your base.

While the first tower defense game was created in 1990 and there were quite a few maps for games like StarCraft and Warcraft that implemented the genre ( Wikipedia), dedicated tower defense games didn’t start to become popular until the late 2000s.įor those unfamiliar with the genre, your object is to protect your castle/fort/stronghold against a horde of enemy invaders. The tower defense genre is a semi-recent new genre of video games.
