How have I not written a review of this yet? I completely devoured this game.

This is hands down one of my favourite tower defence games of all time. Everything about it is on point. Mechanics are good, with lots of varied tower types, and many different aliens, the stages are also quite varied in design, within the limitation of the game mechanics. Graphics and sound are quite good, yet still playable on my tablet (Atom Z3775-based).

Which brings me to another point: it has touch support, and suffers little for it. Not quite as accurate as a mouse, which does result in some accidents, but it's mostly a matter of getting used to it.

The voice acted story is excellent, both in terms of voice acting quality, and writing. It was a particularly nice element of this game, actually. The player's AI ally is amusing and endearing, while also delivering the game's "tutorial" elements.

The gameplay is addicting, and the difficulty is fair, which led me to 100-percenting this game's achievements. Replay value is decent as well, with multiple strategies working well enough to pass most levels.

The only thing that feels "off" is the degree to which some towers are either useless in a given level, or basically mandatory. Missile towers in particular, and the flying enemies they shoot down, seem like they're only in the game to be a backdoor means of draining resources away from your other defences. Not a huge issue overall, but the tower type could use some retooling (like they did in DG2).

If you like the genre, I'd definitely recommend buying this, even at full price, no regrets.
