Tower defense games are one of my favorites, but nothing much seemed to evolve in this genre until now. Yes finally a tower defense action packed game that will keep you clicking and glued to your screen till you finish it off.
I kind-of ignored the story, you are on your way to destroy an evil wizard thats basically ruining your kingdom. So apart from that you have four base towers that offers a wide variety of upgrades. You also have a basic upgrade screen in the menu that allows you to choose to make upgrades that will effect the entire artillery or marksmen section.
Apart from that you have two specials, ones reinforcement and the other a meteorite strike, both these have cool down periods so have to be smart how to use them. Like all TD games the placement of towers is essential but this game also provides you with rally points allowing you to move your defenders if they are required elsewhere.
Let me tell you that the game is tough, I did a few levels no normal and then I moved to easy mode, but once I figured out where to use my stars that you get after each level it becomes much simpler. Another factor that I forgot to mention is the never ending variety of enemies, until the last battle you have new ones popping up along with a tip about their basic nature.
The game is endless fun and even after you complete each of the 12 campaign levels you unlock two new modes of that level, this helps you get a couple of more stars that assists you in beating the higher levels with ease.
Although I would love to give you a few tips I'm gonna restrain myself from ruining your Kingdom rush. Prepare to be hooked! Enjoy the one liners in the last level.... lol XD WTF!

Empire Island
Most defence games limit themselves to whats tried and tested, mostly tower defence games that has a massive fan following as well. Well lets say Empire Island is a defend your castle, from the invaders that progress through the ages, if you played bowmaster prelude, its a little like it at least the way you attack the incoming waves of enemies.
The concept of Empire Island is fairly simple, you advance through the ages and make sure your weaponry and spells advance as well or you will be left behind with a bunch of weapons that are too outdated to take on the new age enemy weaponry. But all this takes place on an island, so you have enemies advancing on your left and right, thank god for the A and D keys that help you scroll the screen, but ouch to the repetitive attacking with the mouse!!!
To do that you need to make sure you have enough of population, by building houses that pay you tax at the end of every turn. Using that money you can upgrade your weapons, spells and unlock new stuff that helps you get through the game.
As you defeat the waves you progress from one level to another, even though you can amass a huge amount of revenue with the population, a single wave can bring down the population structures with relative ease. So its essential to keep upgrading them and manage to make enough of revenue to keep the invaders at bay.
I have found the game pretty tough and not easy to beat, the way I managed to unlock all the ages is by playing each of the ages and unlocking the next one as I never managed to save up enough to upgrade the palace and the weapons, I rate this as a tough game you also need to figure out the gravity and spread for each of the weapons.
But once that's done the game becomes easier except that it gets annoying repeating the same action again and again. Also something one should notice about the art in the game on the left side in the tutorial it looks like a tribal face and on the right side it looks like a .....
I wish you all the best trying to defend your Empire Island! If you like this you would love Civilization Wars!

Cursed Treasure
I have always found tower defense games a whole lot of fun, in such a small niche to find elements of fun are very appealing. Every tower defense has to have the two main elements, towers and enemies coming either to destroy your temple or row your jewels.
Cursed treasure is exactly this, you have a set of jewels that you need to protect. Although the game has only a limited amount of towers, that's 3 towers but after a certain amount of upgrades you can then choose from two main upgrades totaling up to 6 kinds of towers.
That's still not enough variety, but they do a wonderful job of making those 6 towers entertaining. A good variety of enemies come in as well to rob your jewels, you have a tower frenzy or a meteor shower to help boost your defenses. The game comprises of 15 different levels and after accomplishing each level you get certain amount of skill points that can spend on upping either tower power or mana quantity and much more.
So this tower defense definitely makes a niche for itself with the sounds and the fact humans are actually stealing the treasure rather than the usual creeps. I managed to sail through the first 12 levels and then progress after that took a few tries. Overall Cursed treasure does well for a tower defense game, let me now get back to level 14 :)

Bubble Tanks Tower Defense
If you recollect playing Bubble Tanks, there was a sequel to it that we thought pretty much sucked so never got it up here, perhaps the creators of the game themselves thought it sucked. For they now have converted it into a tower defense game.
But does Bubble tanks tower defense offer anything new as compared to say desktop tower defense. Of course I choose desktop tower defense on purpose, the similarities between the two are uncanny. Not that this makes the game less fun, it still is fun, especially with the upgrades and levels. But if your a hardcore TD fan, this game may pass off as just another TD.
There are cool towers and upgrades for each tower, one special one is the sniper mega tower. The mega towers are what makes this game fun and by combining more mega towers you can get a mega mega tower, sounds like fun try it out!

Bloons 4: Tower Defense
Who doesn't love popping balloons, from the original bloons to now, Ninja Kiwi has made Bloons not just so much more fun, but definitely a lot better. Better in terms of graphics, game play and upgrades, this version comes integrated with Mochi features making it easier for people who have money to unlock achievements faster :P
Anyway Bloons 4 has grown quite a bit as a tower defense game, with a range of free and premium tracks, 12 towers that can be upgraded over four times, some other perks thrown in and unlocking achievements as you pop more balloons and rank up.
But there are some bugs like the game does not start bug, I have no clue what it is, I suspect the game communicates with a server prior to starting up and that was a little haywire, I could not play the game from three different computers and all of a sudden it started to work one day, funny and irritating. Thanks to that the game was put up late over here.
Anyway enough of me blabbering, I am finding it tough to get through the intermediate tracks even on easy mode so definitely needs thinking over and just not powerful monkeys, or maybe the Jedi Boomerang thrower can help. Placement of your towers are the key to completing levels, all the best, heres bloons 4 tower defense, have a banana party!

Gemcraft Chapter Zero
Its been a while since we put up any tower defense game, if you enjoy these then your in for a treat. Gemcraft Chapter 0 has taken tower defense games to a new level, apart from being just a basic tower defense game this game has so many different mode of game play, so many different skills to unlock as well as amulets to win.
But more than that, the game play like the previous versions is so much fun, you have different gems with different kinds of powers, combine gems to increase powers and create combinations.
The interesting part is in this version you can set traps with gems embedded in them, so each trap has the effect opf that gem, the variety of monsters are huge and depending on the various modes for each level you can end up having bigger monsters, more powerful ones, some with more health and a lot of other stuff, each level has around 6 different modes of game play.
As you get skill points, it becomes cheaper to buy towers, your traps are more effective and you generate more manna from hits, there are a whole range of upgrades. The more experience you gain, the higher your levels and the ability to unlock new modes.
I think I have said enough, though I am sure you still underestimate the amount of time you can spend on this game. Give it a go, there's hours of fun in this version of Gemcraft!

Mushroom Revolution Tower Defence
The tower defence section on this blog desperately required an update and here are some magic mushrooms come to the rescue. Mushroom revolution is a relatively easy TD game, as compared to some that I have played, I easily managed to get through quite a few waves without any difficulty.
The Mushrooms here can be upgraded by levels, elements that give them certain properties as well as free accessories that you get as you progress through the game, especially when you start a new wave of enemies before time.
As you level up you get more space to hold elements, various element combinations give different properties to your mushroom tower. The first entire level can be defeated with two mushrooms without any elements though I suggest you try out various elements to see the effects on the mushrooms attack.
Every wave of enemies are prone to certain elements and cannot be damaged by some, so its wise to have all the elements as you progress to higher levels, its time for a Mushroom Revolution! Game has been created by Fortunacus Lucas!

Onslaught Two.2 Tower Defence
Its been a while since we had a new tower defence game on this blog, its even better to add a tower defense game that I have been playing all day yesterday and still have not managed to beat it.
That's my highest score that I managed to get in Onslaught 2.2 in the screen shot on easy.
Damn I must be no good at this game, it starts of nice and easy but theres so much more to this tower defense. You can combine towers to shoot out different missiles, for example a rocket launcher and a laser will give you laser rockets. 
There is an entire chart provided of combinations possible but remember for the combination to work, the first turrent in the combo needs to fire first.
This is best achieved by increasing the range of the first turret so the second one does not fire first.
There are a range of weapon modifiers available that boost the power of the turrets, range modifiers and thing like that. Of course there are a variety of maps available as well to choose to play.
The game is addictive as its level of difficulty makes you want to come back and try a new strategy. Well saying that I think im going to give this game another shot.

Strategy Defense 5
The fifth edition of the Strategy Defense series is here with a range on new units which has been consistent, and a host of new features not existing in the previous versions of the game.Firstly the main screen menu has a lot more options and it also now allows you to save and load a game from the point you last played which is a nice feature.
The objective of the game remains the same, defend your towers and destroy any one of the enemies towers to progress to the next level.
The use of the special power in every level is very effective for you to make speedy progress. You need to use the 1,2 and 3 keys to choose the tower to generate the troops, you cannot generate troops on the path covered by ice.
Have fun, this game is fast paced and you can easily miss your turn if you are multi-tasking.

Stalingrad 2
If you have not played Stalingrad, I suggest you should give that a shot before your play Stalingrad 2.
If Stalingrad was tough, Stalingrad 2 is going to be hell for you, cause it is hell for me. I have not been able to beat the first invasion after trying for quite a while.
There are quite a few new additions, beginning with the need to construct factories to be able to research new weapons. You can also create money factories to boost your income at the end of every level. Every time the airplanes come I seem to be failing miserably so prepare air support.
The lovely new feature is that you are able to send troops from the end, that will help slow down or destroy incoming troops as well. Unfortunately you do not have airplanes so this is where it actually begins to get tough.
Hope you have a blast with another fine strategy game, Stalingrad 2.

Temple Guardian
So if you thought Stalingrad was difficult all I can say is Muaahahaha. This Tower Defense game is nothing but Mind Boggling, it really rips the other ones on this blog so far.
A major reason being features that enable you not only to choose but create your own map to play.
Different kind of enemies with a lot of different characteristics make it more complex.
Temple Guardian Objectives:
The objectives of the game are the same as any tower defense game, stop the enemies from reaching the end of the maze.
Here its a Temple and your the Guardian its as simple as it says, I think you would probably figure that, cause your probably a smart one, since your gaming here! Guard well!

Stalingrad
Stalingrad is another tower defence strategy game that seems to be more difficult than the ones already put on this games blog.
Flash Element TD & Desktop TD are the two other Tower defense games, Stalingrad puts in a little story apart from it being the usual TD game.
Stalingrad Instructions:
Click on the tower and then on the map to build, click on the tower to upgrade it, you can also demolish your towers to build other towers.
It would be useful when the airplanes decide to come to have a flak canon.
I do hope you have fun defending the city against the Nazis! I had a wonderful time with this game.

Desktop Tower Defence
Desktop Tower Defense is a game very similar to Flash Element Tower Defense, except instead of a maze all the action is happening on a desktop.
According to the mode of difficulty you choose the creeps will either have one entrance or two entrances and exits. You can select the towers from the top left and place them anywhere on the map where its highlighted green. You can place it to create obstacles for the creeps and increase the time they need to get to the exit.
This game has a lot more modes than Flash Element TD and is as much the fun! So go get those Creeps!

Flash Element TD
The aim of Flash Element TD is to kill the creeps before they reach the end of the maze, do this by building attacking towers on the grass around the maze.
How to Play Flash Element TD:
Building Towers in Flash Element TD
To build towers first click on the one you want to build on the right, then click on the map where you want it to be built. Once built you can click on tower to upgrade or sell them.
At the start of the game the only towers you can build are the "Basic Towers". These include the Arrow, Cannon and Air towers.
The Arrow tower is a good all-rounder as it will shoot at both air and ground based creeps. It can hit one target at a time. The Cannon tower does "splash damage" this means that its shot will do damage to all creeps around the target as well as the target itself. The only problem is the Cannon does not fire at air creeps. The Air tower only attacks air creeps, use this if you are having problems with the air levels.
To build "Elemental Towers" you must first research the 3 elements. Research costs wood, you are given 1 wood every 7 levels. Once researched you can build as many "Elemental Towers" of the type you have researched as you can afford. The combo tower is only available if you have researched all 3 elements.
To get a high score try and keep as much of your gold in the bank as possible because at the end of each round you earn interest on the gold in the bank. You can use your wood to increase your interest rate.
Special levels include FAST [6, 13, 19, 26, 32] AIR [8, 17, 27] IMMUNE [10, 21, 32] and BOSS [11, 22, 33] You get wood every 7 levels use wood to research upgrades.
