Thankfully, you don't have to sit there listening to us witter on about the good old days. The early champions of this genre are just too strong to coast by on the same old same old. These days TD is still a going concern, but any new tower defence game will tend to need to mix in a bunch of other genre influences if it wants to stand out.


This beguiling sub-genre, quite distinct from the real time strategy genre from which it sprung, seemed perfectly suited to mobile play. As a genre, it's fallen out of fashion since its heyday.īack in the early to mid days of the App Store, you could scarcely move for tower defence games, or TD for short. You don't seem to see so many new tower defence/defense (delete according to English-speaking preference) games appearing on the App Store these days.
