For those who have a great passion for strategy games in the style of building fortresses to defend against invaders’ attacks, Defense Legend 5: Survivor TD is probably the most suitable game for them. The gameplay of this game is said to not be too different from other games that build forts to defend bases, but the point that makes the difference is that the game is set in the context of human defense before the invasion of aliens. The main reason it makes a big difference just because of its setting is that players will experience a style of defense using advanced technology instead of using magical towers like other fantasy-style defense games.
COMPELLING STORYLINE AND LORE
The main plot that players can easily see in this game is that the human world is at risk of being invaded by alien forces, and players need to play the role of a general character. The commander set up a defense line to prevent these monsters from entering the main base. In addition to the main base, players will also need to defend a number of places with important strategic human positions, making the player’s playing time much longer.
- Protect: The main context that this game brings is quite interesting and unique when players need to take on the responsibility of protecting the whole world from alien invasion.
- Discover: As time goes on, players will discover more and more interesting things about the origin and reason why these monsters chose Earth as an ideal place to invade.
STRATEGIC TOWER DEFENSE GAMEPLAY
Regarding the main gameplay that this game brings, players must use the resources they have to build towers to destroy the approaching monsters. These towers are designed so that each tower has a unique characteristic, making players need to consider very carefully every time they want to build a tower. The strategy of the game is shown when they will have to choose the location and type of tower to use.
- Build: The main job the player needs to do is build watchtowers for defense and upgrade them to deal with stronger monsters.
- Adapt: The opponent’s attacks can be said to never be the same, so players also need to continuously create their playstyle to suit that level.
- Plan: Players need to calculate carefully every time they want to build a tower or upgrade it because all of those decisions require a certain amount of resources to make.
- Satisfying: The game brings quite good satisfaction to the player because the approaching monsters are extremely crowded, and the feeling that the player can destroy them all with just one move is quite interesting.
VARIED MAPS AND ENVIRONMENTS
Because the player’s mission is to prevent all alien attacks in many places, the player will also be continuously taken to many different types of environments to perform the protection work of aliens. These environments are all designed by the game to have different terrain, making players need to be more careful in placing towers and using resources properly.
- Environments: There are many types of terrain that players can encounter, some of the typical terrain that players encounter the most are in the jungle, mountains or even swamps.
- Fresh: The main purpose of this feature is to keep this game always fresh and especially to keep their gamers playing the game longer.
- Leverage: Every time these towers reach a certain level, the player will also be able to choose the evolution path for that tower to suit the game level.
RPG COMMANDER PROGRESSION
The point that attracts most players is that all the towers and machines that players build can be leveled up. The leveling up of those towers is not based on how many monsters it destroys, but it will be the player’s choice to upgrade with the resources it requires. When reaching a certain number of levels, those towers will be transformed, causing their attack style to change to become more superior.
- Level Up: If at first the towers can only shoot continuously at monsters, then after leveling up they can completely bring destructive power with the skills they gain when leveling up.
- Upgrade: In addition, players can also upgrade their main base. This is a prerequisite for players to be able to upgrade towers because they are only unlocked when the main base reaches a certain level.
