Tower Defense
Computer games have come up a long way, since the 1960′s, when PC game was in its nascent stage. These days, computer games are a lot better, quicker, interesting, user friendly as well as interactive. Unlike the earlier times, when the number of games was limited, these days, you will find innumerable games, at your disposal. Some of these games have become very famous and has nearly achieved cult status. Tower defense is one such game.
As it is, Tower defense is a subgenre of computer games, involving real-time strategy. The objective is to try and stop the enemies from crossing the plot by constructing towers that shoot them down, while they pass. The enemies as well as towers generally have varied abilities as well as costs. In case the player defeats an enemy he/she earns points that can be used for buying or upgrading the towers.
The picking as well as location of the towers is the most critical aspect of the strategy of the game. Several games, like Flash Element Tower Defense, are characterized by enemies who move through a labyrinth, allowing the players to strategically position towers for best effects. However, a few versions of these games compel the user to make the maze out of their own towers. You also have a few versions, which are hybrid version of these two kinds, with preset paths, which may be modified to certain extent by way of tower placement.
This game is believed to be inspired by Rampart, which was an arcade game and involved protecting a castle by positioning cannons, as well as making repairs in between various rounds of attacks. The first notable game of this kind was the Master of Defense, which came in 2005.
