When talking about tower defense games, Plants vs. Zombies must be indispensable. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a must-play masterpiece that has stood the test of time. To this day, there are still many weird MODs that add vitality to the game, and this is precisely because the foundation of the game is good enough to support players to dig deeper into it.

Of course, the power to generate electricity with love naturally requires players to sincerely like the game world created by the developers. Although this world is small, it is distinctive and distinctive enough. You only need to look at its image and name to understand what it does for each plant. On this basis, it is also particularly cute and interesting. There are too many details that are fun and self-contained. The above is just a study for players of the original game. If you include the modified version developed by the big guys, there will be even more ways to play it.
In short, I still have to emphasize that this is really an extremely casual tower defense game with almost zero barriers to entry.

As a classic domestic tower defense game, the first generation of Defender Carrot shocked players once it was released. Who would have thought that the style of a mobile game ten years ago could be so cute and exquisite? The painting style is also unique in its own way, making it easy to remember at a glance and really hard to forget. The game levels in the later stages of the game are also very challenging, causing countless players to sigh: It’s just a casual game, but I actually need to find a guide to defending the carrot! Then while being unconvinced, I could only copy the homework of the great masters. It is enough to see the charm of this work.
If it weren't for the fact that in subsequent works, the developers went to cooperate with Goose Factory, resulting in a light-speed decline in game quality, coupled with a certain degree of creative exhaustion, the entire IP might have been more promising. But the advantage of buying out a single-player game is that no matter what the sequel is in the future, what has become a classic will always be a classic, so don’t miss Defending Carrot 1.

Before playing this game, I never thought that a tower defense game would allow players to personally kill enemies. In this game, players need to place various traps in the dungeon maze, and then pick up weapons and use the traps to kill waves of mobs rushing up. When they first started, they watched the mobs step on the traps without noticing. On the screen, like the gourd boy saving grandpa, he will be bounced off and fall into the bottom of the cave. You will feel like you are playing Home Alone. And letting players personally hold weapons to kill monsters will give them the pleasure of crushing the enemy with both IQ and strength. If you can have a friend to play online with you, the fun will be doubled. And I personally think that compared to the somewhat perfunctory performance of the 3rd generation, the 1st generation is classic but has old-fashioned graphics, while the 2nd generation is more suitable to recommend to current players. If you like tower defense gameplay and fighting monsters with cool weapons, you can try this game!

If you suddenly want to play a more casual game one night, then I hope you will never open this game. Because it’s really easy to accidentally play until dawn. As a tower defense game series that is on par with Plants vs. Zombies in the minds of countless people, this game contains many RPG elements, such as the gameplay of upgrading and developing heroes, etc. In this game, the hero unit is like playing red. The police is also an operable unit. Players need to build towers, release skills, and control heroes to fight everywhere. The pace of this game may seem slow at first, but once you get started, the player's operations are very well arranged. Moreover, this kind of gameplay that combines strategy and operation is particularly challenging to experience overall. Highly recommended!


Who can resist the temptation of popping balloons? Balloon Tower Defense is a game that provides this kind of experience. In the game, we need to control monkeys to fight against a series of incoming balloons. It’s just that balloons of various sizes, colors and styles come out in series. , it’s too much to even include hot air balloons and airships, right? But if you think about it carefully, is there any difference between a balloon airship and a balloon in the eyes of a monkey? Isn't it just bigger? Don't tell me it makes sense.
