I first played this game years ago and couldn't beat it. I came back to it today after several years and realized that upgrading stuff isn't the right way to go. The meteor and rain spell cost more mana the more you upgrade it, so it's harder to use. I found that leaving it at level 1 or 3 works best.

I rush upgraded my staff.

As far as warriors, I found it better to not promote them from the menu, instead promoting them in the fight. This is because after each promotion (while fighting), they heal full hp. I kept my warriors at level 1 until I had enough mana to summon 2 of them at level 5. Barbarians are better because they push the enemy back.

Archers are only useful until you are able to purchase level 5 fire mages. After that, just build fire mage in every tower. Unless you're at level 30, I spam built level 5 water mages.

I found it strange that some units had high attack power and high speed (like hunters and fire mages), essentially making those the best units in the game. Multiple attack units can't compare to their counterparts.

This game has stayed in my mind since I couldn't beat it many years ago, probably when it first came out in 2011. I can say that 13 years later, I came back to it and beat it with 3 stars in all missions.

Good, good game. Played lots of tower defense so far, and I like that the three classes provide good differences. Simple, but challenging, is a great mix to have. Upgrade system is cool. Only thing is it's a bit slow on low graphics, and really slow on best graphics, for me.
Could use a x4 speed.
Warriors were pretty much the best for most of the game, but then they couldn't be healed unless upgrading, so that's interesting. Still, b4 stage 11 they're really all you need.

I found water mages useful starting at stage 11. By having one or two highly levelled, they gave good aoe, without dying like the warrior aoe, since they're ranged and don't take damage (or, not often). So the reliable aoe was good.

bowmen have like no purpose before job advancing though, right? Or am I missing something? And it doesn't seem like there's much of a difference with their two job advances, since it's just a little difference in manner of dishing out 1v1 dps and they never really move from a support role anyways, so for support 1v1 dps it isn't really important on the timing of the damage right?

its ok

i dont see how a level 16 staff can only gen. 5 mana i mean enemies are coming like crazy & its hard to upgrade & cast spells with low mana when u got 3 or 4 monsters attacking ur baracks

A fun jaunt through a side-scrolling tower defense

When you play this game you won't find the usual path based tower defense. Instead the dynamic works with varying levels of height. Though apart from that this game uses the same basic principles found in the tower defense genre.

Regardless of whether or not this game adds anything to the genre it is still worth playing. The overall style in which the characters are drawn is... well 'adorable'. The gameplay offers a decent challenge for any fan of TD games. And the music, although not greatly varied, flows wonderfully into gameplay.

This game is definitely worth your time.

great game
