Tower defense (TD) goes straight to the roots of a strategy subgenre. The goal is always the same. Enemies march toward your ground, and you stop them by building defenses on or beside the path they take.

What makes these games last is the planning. Where you place a structure matters as much as which one you choose. Filed in Tower Defense, this one works with taps on a touchscreen and with clicks at a desk.

🎮

Holding your ground

Attackers follow a route toward the things you must protect. Click to place defensive structures along that route so they hit the enemies as they pass. In most games of this type, stopping attackers earns resources for more defenses, and letting too many through ends the game. On a touchscreen, taps replace the mouse clicks.

Defense strategy

  • Build near corners and bends, enemies stay in range longer there.
  • Spread your defenses along the path instead of stacking them all at the entrance.
  • Save some resources for emergencies in later waves.
