Description: Tower Rush is a new kind of Tower Defense game for Android, and perhaps one of the few that blends great gameplay with great graphics. Tower Rush brings high-quality 3D graphics to the Tower Defense genre, while also keeping the addictive gameplay style. There are six different towers to play with here, different maps for a good variety and over 40 monster designs with their own sound effects. Each tower has a number of upgrade paths available and overall, Tower Rush is designed to be the high-class Tower Defense game that many have been waiting for. Read on to see how Tower Rush stacks up.
How it Works: Once you have Tower Rush downloaded from the Play Store, you can get started with this tower defense game.
You’ll be asked to choose a map to play through, as this is perhaps your first time with the game we’ll go ahead and choose the first map, The King’s Tomb.
You’re given a few pointers to get off your feet as you first start to play the game.
As the monsters flood the map, you’ll need to warn them off with your tower defenses and hold them off as best you can.
The 3D engine allows you to zoom in and get nice and close to the action.
Each map has around 9 or so waves of enemies and as you get further into those waves, the enemies get quicker, stronger and have more HP. Each map has different beasts to deal with, the first map has orcs to fight off, the second map has undeads and the third and largest map has human warriors to deal with.
As you might have guessed, the overall aim of the game is to keep these monsters and demons out, so you’ll have to be careful to not let something like this happen for instance:
Opinion: I have only played a handful of Tower Defense games over the years, but those I have played have often been somewhat lackluster in the graphics department. With Tower Rush though that wasn’t a problem. Everything is nice and detailed with the maps sporting some good lighting and high-res textures. The appearance is definitely much better than other games out there, but that doesn’t mean Tower Rush skimps on the gameplay. With over 40 different monsters to beat back, strategy is accessible and easy to get into, while also being fulfilling to those big time strategy fans.
