heh heh... I'm eagerly awaiting the OP's response to this too... Perhaps he's looking for hardcore numbers like # of levels, difficulty factor, etc. We've all posted on how we feel about TD games... because quite frankly, it really is about personal preference. Some prefer the intensity of Geodefense... some prefer cutey FR and Creeps. I categorize the difference as "charm". There's nothing really technical that can be discussed. Or if they did, they should give the thread some framework and actually give examples of how the technicals should be 'discussed'. UAQ, What exactly are you looking for then?
Everyone: Go buy Monster Feed! Totally awesome action! Give it a try! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=72997 My top 3 TD just changed today: Sentinel 3, Monster Feed and Plants vs Zombies! What a week!
Sentinel 3? Didn't even quoted this name. Plants vs Zombies is too easy but huge, not really a TD. Monster Feed is great but it pushes action very far and it's more Action TD. I tend prefer Action TD but sometimes I only need a more classical TD because I don't want too much action. Anyway I like your quote so I'll have to check Sentinel 3.
In my opinion Creeps is much much much better than Fieldrunners. For starters The Creeps has like 50 maps at least. Fieldrunners? Lol, like 3 maps without DLC, and 5 maps with DLC. The creeps has at least 8 or 9 tower types, and a very interesting battery tower. Fieldrunners has like 4 towers without DLC, and 6 with DLC. Fieldrunners doesn't even have a damn fast forward option until you're 75% done a map. It's extremely slow-paced. It's also more expensive than The Creeps. I find myself playing The Creeps over and over again. Fieldrunners? It was ok playing through it once, but after that it's off my iPhone for good. But nothing will ever beat Plants vs Zombies for originality, cuteness, and replayability. It's the most famous TD ever for a good reason.
I thought of myself as a big TD fan but when I checked I only have PvZ and Epic War TD still installed. (and I'm ambivalent about calling PvZ a TD). I feel that this genre doesn't have big 'keepability'. After I've completed it or gone as far as I can be bothered the game gets chucked. This will definitely happen to the two I mentioned as well. I've had the best time with sentinel 2 and that one where aliens try to kidnap your sheep. Both of these had really fun weapons and you excel at them if you play with good efficiency. I like striving to be efficient under time pressure. It's pleasantly stressful and its what I'm disliking about epic war TD. (As already mentioned you pause the game for Every Single Tower Placement Or Upgrade.) Not good.
Lol indeed. I have an obsessive personality that flitters from focal point to focal point. I guess at the time of posting this thread I was obsessed with Tower Defense style games. I generally find in the deep throws of this kind of substance binge, my desire for information far exceeds what information actually exists out there. Looking back through this thread, I can see that people have provided me with adequate answers and I have demanded "MORE" like a greedy hippo. If Backtothis ever reads this: Sorry man, I was an ass.
It's been nearly 9 months since someone posted in this thread, lol. Decided to see who revived it for the heck of it. It's alright man; I'm long past my forum police stage, heheh. You were pretty nice in responding to my post anyways. Where've you been?
