Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is co-op Tower Defence combined with epic Action RPG combat. Which to me definitely sounded like an odd blend for sure. Back in the day when I would do a lot more PC gaming, I would often really enjoy tower defence games, something about them was relaxing and almost therapeutic. This is not quite the same. While at it’s core foundation it’s definitely a tower defence, you select the types of traps, shields, whatever you want to…

What do you get when you mix dungeons, wizards, and aliens into a tower defense game? You might get Dungeons and Aliens for the Nintendo Switch!

The tower defense genre can be a mixed bag at times. I’ve played some tower defense games that were really good, others that had potential but were a bit too complex, and still others that were too simple. Alchemic Jousts for the Nintendo Switch is a tower defense game that looks good, but is it? There is no story or setup for Alchemic Jousts.

I wasn’t a big fan of Dillon’s Rolling Western for the 3DS. I never did play its sequel. And so when Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers was announced for the 3DS, I wasn’t excited. Why was Nintendo bringing Dillon back again? Even so, when the demo for the game came out today I thought I’d give it a look. What did I think of the game? Check out my impressions of the demo for Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers below! Dillon’s Rolling Western and…

I vaguely remember trying out PixelJunk Monsters on the Playstation 3. I thought it was neat. And so when PixelJunk Monsters 2 was announced for the Nintendo Switch, I was interested in it too! Today, a demo was released for the game to the Japanese Switch eshop. I downloaded it and tried it out. Here are my impressions of the demo so far. PixelJunk Monsters 2 is a tower defense game. The demo for it is currently only available on…

If Harvest Moon and a cute 2D tower defense game had a love child, it might look like Plantera for the Wii U and 3DS eshops. Build a garden, add animals, and defend that garden like crazy from outside threats! Plantera sounds like it might be a good game for simulation and tower defense fans…but is it? The Wii U and 3DS versions of Plantera have some differences but the basic gameplay is the same between the two versions. Let’s…

I love simulation games. I could go on for hours and hours about Animal Crossing New Leaf for the 3DS. I’m not as big a fan of tower defense style games, but I’ve played a few good ones. What do you get when you combine a garden sim game with a 2D style tower defense game? It may be something like Plantera for the Wii U and 3DS. I just got review codes of both the 3DS and Wii U…

The Wii U gamepad is severely underutilized on the system, and very few game creators outside of Nintendo are trying to use it as more than just an away-from-TV screen. Developer Nnooo, however, has attempted to do so with their latest release, Cubemen 2. I reviewed Cubemen 2 on the Wii U, but after playing just one match on the PC once I was done with the Wii U version, I knew I was playing the wrong version.
