SNAFU Tower Defense Game

SNAFU Tower Defense is fantastic defense game with war topic from Digital Machina. Excellent game for every TD maniac.

SNAFU Tower Defense game has very good mission system. After long time I finally played very good tower defense game. It looked like, there were not new good TD games on the internet. Only weak copies of existing games. But SNAFU is here, and now it is everything OK. I am sure, that you will spend a lot free time with this game. The game has 10 missions at all, and many missions are more than 1 hour long. There is nice idea to add remaining time for each mission. Every mission in the game has different map and need different strategy. But in every mission you need to build towers, to prevent enemy units to reach end of the map. Some from maps has 2 entrances and exits. You can choose from these towers:
  • Barricade A physical barrier that inflicts no damage to enemy units, only forces them to choose another path. Aerial units are not affected by barricades.
  • Machine Gun Nest Armed with a high caliber machine gun with a fast rate of fire. Machine gun nests can target both aerial and terrestrial enemies. They are best suited for taking out unarmored units one at a time.
  • Artillery Tower Fires ballistic anti-armor shells, delivering high damage to a single target. Slow rate of fire, but has great range and armor penetration. They are essential for taking out armored jeeps, tanks and trucks.
  • Mortar Tower Fires high explosive ballistic rounds that explode on impact damaging all enemies caught in the blast rating. Has low armor penetration, but when upgraded the blast radius and damage are devastating to groups of unarmored enemies.
  • SAM Tower Launches guided surface-to-air missiles that can only target aerial units. Has an extremely fast rate of fire and great range. They are limited to only targeting flying enemies, but a few of these towers can go a long way when upgraded.
  • Microwave Tower Delivers a directed ray of microwave radiation that slows enemy personnel caught in its focus. The ray becomes more focused as it is upgraded, but also becomes more effective. They are only effective against grunts, but can extend the performance of all other ground targeting towers by extending the time they can attack each grunt.
  • EMP Tower Generates a strong electro magnetic pulse that damages all mechanical enemies within range. In addition, the EMP has a chance to stun each enemy. They can be the line between victory and defeat when battling mechanical units. Also, instead of stunning aerial units, these towers will do 10 times the normal damage.
All towers except Barricade can be upgraded 5 times. They can be sold for 75% of their price. And for all tower you can choose system of targeting from 3 modes: Closest to the Goal (default), Strongest and Weakest.

SNAFU has very well designed game engine. It has very nice graphics and good sound effects. After mission selection you can build initial defense. The mission starts after pressing Start button on the map. All controls are very clear. When the mission starts you can continue with your defense building. You are informed about basic facts: remaining money, lives and time. After wave finishing you can see remaining timer before next wave starts. You can press Next Wave button to gain bonus. Every mission in this game need different strategy. Sometimes you must use maze strategy. Sometimes you must only use good combination of towers. After finishing mission you can compare your score with high scores. My good advice is: Make enemy units way as long as it is possible. And it is good to use heavy towers at start of the map, and later you can use Machine Gun. You must at first destroy enemy vehicle and then passengers..

Snafu is an excellent war tower defense game with excellent playability. I can only recommend this game to every TD player. I am giving this game 9.0 points from 10.

King's Island - RPG Game

King's Island is excellent RPG game. P.M. Studios & Foofa Studios make a good work.

King's Island is first online RPG game, I have ever played. It took me days, to finish this game. Why did I spend days with playing this game? Because it is really good game. The game has simple idea. On King Island has started terrible riot. King Maleficus want to punish rebels. You are the warrior Kaptivo, who is responsible to assure peace on the island. You can build your character with increasing of your experiences. After killing rebels you can gain useful things or money. You can also gain these things from chests. After clearing map, you can use passages to other maps. Usually on every map you must kill boss of rebels. It owns special weapon, that is necessary for killing boss in the next map. You can also sell or buy things from merchants. It looks like easy game, but it is not always true. The game has many maps and it is important to find right order between maps. You can find maps and important info on the game page. Without them you will spend much more time with this game. Next info you can also find in the community forum on the page.

King's Island is an excellent game. It has only one minus. You need so much time to finish this game. But I am sure it will be funny time. I am giving this game 9.5 points from 10.

Random Defence 2 - Tower Defense Game

Random Defence 2 is next version of good Random Defence tower defense game from Armegalo.

Random Defence 2 is good game. It has a little bit chaotic game engine. But after playing this game longer time, it will be OK. Word random in name of this game means, use of random crazy objects for enemies and for objects on the map. You must defend yourself attacking ducklings for example. There are too much possibilities how to build your defense. Simply, there are four groups of buildings and weapons. You can find them in 4 colored menu on bottom right side of game engine. To build them, you also need enough resource of the same color. Green submenu contains contains gun weapons and facilities. Red submenu contains explosive weapons and facilities. Blue submenu contains electric facilities and rose submenu contains various facilities. Top submenu contains basic info about waves and bottom submenu contains disc submenu. To upgrade weapons and facilities to higher levels you need research centre of the same color. Also for buying better weapons you need research centers. What kind of research center and level of necessary upgrade you can find in the weapon description. To mine resources you need to build mine for exact resource. Before you place mines, you can gain info about resources in the circle around placed mine.

Playability of the game is very good. The game has so much levels. The game engine is so strange, it takes you some time to handle it. Be prepared on quantum strange enemies and levels. You will spend a lot of good time with this game.

Random Defence 2 game is strange and good tower defense game. Because of good playability I am giving this game 8 from 10 points.

Strategy Defense 5 - Strategy Game

Strategy Defense 5 is next part of Strategy Defense game series. Here you can find info about Strategy Defense 1,2,3 and here is info about Strategy Defense 4. BelugerinGames creates new version of their strategy online games. But you don't find important changes in this version.

Strategy Defense 5 is combination of tower defense and strategy game. Similarly like in previous version you must defend your bases from enemies attacks. Now you can play on more maps. Always after finishing previous level you can continue in next level. After starting level you can switch between your 3 bases with 1, 2, 3 keys. You can spend your money, to buy defense towers. You can also use special attack in each wave. Or in next step you can buy army to attack enemies bases. You have chance that you buy also white soldiers. They are more powerful and faster than normal soldiers. In the game your towers and weapons evolve during eras in history. It is the same idea, like in previous version. There is nothing new in this game. Graphics is worse than in previous version and there is no possibility to buy weapons from older eras, like it was before.

I gave previous version of this game good valuation, but this version of game is only poor infusion of previous version. I am giving Strategy Defense 5 game 7/10 points.

Stalingrad 3 - Tower Defense Game

In December 2007 I wrote about tower defense game Stalingrad. In January 2008 I wrote about Stalingrad 2 - The Fall of Berlin. Creator from freeonlinegames.com have made new game Stalingrad 3 - Valley Defenders.

Stalingrad 3 - Valley Defenders is not only update, it is really new game. I like this approach. Creator risks success of previous version and wrote something new. Germans are going on Stalingrad and on their way they are mining Don region. You are here to defend valleys of Don. In game you can buy these weapons:
  • Wall is suitable for building ways for enemies.
  • Scrapyard increases resources from destroyed enemies.
  • Solar Battery gives you necessary electric power.
  • Gunner is suitable against light ground and air units.
  • Dual Gunner is suitable against medium ground and air units.
  • AP223 Cannon has big damage , but it is small. It is useful against strong ground units.
  • AT-1A Missile is very good weapon against enemies tanks.
  • G2 23 mm AA Gun is an excellent weapon against air units.
All weapons and structures can be build with Drag & Drop system. After clicking on existing items, you can upgrade their Attack Power or Damage Capacity. Damaged structures can be repaired. All structures can be also sold.

The game engine is well designed. Drag & drop system is a little annoying. The game has average graphics and average sounds.

There is difficult to find good strategy for this game. First of all you don't need to upgrade units.
  1. It is necessary make way for enemies from walls.
  2. Then you need to build 14 Gunners at end of this way. They must be always replaced after destroying.
  3. When you earn enough money build 3 missiles far from way.
  4. At end of way build AA Guns to protect you from airplanes.
  5. Then only continue to build defense like in the picture down.

Stalingrad 3 - Valley Defenders is very good tower defense game. I am giving this game 8.5 from 10 points.

Omega Tower Defense Game

Omega Tower Defense is one from the hardest tower defense games I have ever played. Simple game from FlashGameALot is not for everyone.

Omega Tower Defense is standard tower defense game. But it is game only for advanced tower defense game players. In this game you don't have enough time to think, in this game you must be very fast to survive. The game is very fast. Only with help of forums I was able to play first 13 waves.

In the game you can buy these weapons:
  • Light Artillery is basic weapon with small damage and range but good speed.
  • Laser Turret is shooting laser beams. It has good damage and range, but it is slow.
  • Heavy Artillery is improved version of Light Artillery with better damage and range. It has splash damage.
  • Slow Field Generator can slows enemies without damage.
  • Money Tower is soecial tower and increases money from killed enemies in its range.
  • Shock Tower is good weapon with area damage.
  • Bomb is last aid in critical situation. Explodes only once with high damage.
  • Razor Tower is the best weapon in the game. It shoots flying blades that seeks enemies.
You can upgrade 3 basic features for towers: Damage, Range and Reload time. You can also sell towers, and it is necessary to do it more times in this game.

The game engine has standard controls. Graphics of the game is good, sound effects are worse. But difficulty of this game is unbelievable hard. There is no possibility to win this game for most players. Only with walkthrough you are able to reach higher levels. I found this walkthrough from James Revan on towerdefence.net forum.
  1. Buy 3 light artillery at the begining and place them in the corners. DON'T UPGRADE.
  2. Buy 2 more as soon as possible. DON'T UPGRADE.
  3. At the first bloob wave sell them and buy a heavy artillery tower (HAT).
  4. First thing to upgrade is reload speed, then damage then range. Max it out.
  5. When you have one HAT tower maxed out buy second one.
  6. If you've placed the 2 HAT at the corners they're all you will need for few waves.
  7. Wait till you have 1000 cash and buy the thing that looks like a sitting frog with seeking blades, place it so it at the entrance of creeps or a corner (it shoots straight down then the blades seek out targets).
  8. Max out reload speed (max is 5 so it reloads almost instantly, then damage (500 cash each level but it's worth it) don't forget about range.
  9. When you have enough money buy another frog and max it out same way as the first one.
  10. Sell the two HATs cause they shoot to slow and with too low dmg to be useful and buy the third frog.
Thank you James. Only with your help I believe, that it is possible to finish this game.

Omega Tower Defense is simple tower defense game for hardcore players, but not for me. I am giving this game 6.0 points from 10.

When you push button for fast game, there is no possibility to slow game back. Graphics is average and game has basic sound effects. Trash bin for canceling build mode is really bad idea. I many times build turret near of it, instead of canceling build mode. Playability of the game is also average. The game is very difficult.

The Canyon has standard target of tower defense games. Forces of the darkness reach your borders. But fortunately they must go through canyon. It is chance to stop them, with help of your defense towers, before they reach your kingdom. You can buy these towers:
  • Ice Tower shoots cold air and slows enemies.
  • Stone Tower is average tower with possibility after upgrade to shot more enemies at once.
  • Poison Tower shoots poison at the enemies. It decreases their life during some time.
  • Sharp Tower shoots sharp arrows. It can attack enemy with critical damage.
  • Ground Tower produces shockwave. It has splash damage and also slow enemies.
  • Fire Tower is the best tower in the game. It throws fire on enemies and has also splash damage.
To build towers you must drag them on selected place. You can upgrade 3 basic features for all towers: damage, range and rate. And you can also upgrade 1 specific feature for each kind of tower. Specific features can be upgraded 5 times, but standard features 15 times. It is too much, because you only slightly improve your towers with each upgrade. With combination of 50 waves in the game, it take so much time to finish this game. The game is so boring after some time.

The game engine has average graphics and sound effects.

The Canyon is average tower defense game. It needs more action in every wave, or decreasing number of updates and waves. I am giving this game 5.0 points from 10.

The game engine is very specific. But make good Java applet game is very difficult. I know it, because I am Java programmer. Graphics is poor without sound effects. Holding the right mouse button will speed up the game. The game has simple interface. I have had problems with refreshing of applet more times. It is very difficult game, and every mistake during playing means soon game over.
