Protector

Protector is the coolest tower defense game I've played. It is like a bunch of tower defense games in one with a variety of different maps.

The graphics are good, full color, shading, detail, three dimensional, and creative. You really need to see it full screen to fully appreciate it, some of the detail is lost in the screen shot here because of downsizing and compression.

This plays full screen on a 1.8 GHz machine with a screen full of active creatures and no lag. It is very efficiently coded. This in spite of the fact that this game offers considerably more detail in the graphics, and considerably more complexity in the play than any other tower defense I've ever played.


You pretty much have to do this real time though. You can't just build, start a wave and go get coffee. It's hard to predict and you have to react in real time.

You can pave unpaved areas for a price and then equip them with defense units. As the defense units gain experience, you can upgrade them making them more powerful.

This game is elemental also, like many RPG's, not just generic monsters and weapons. Some monsters will be weak against one element, strong against another, and immune to others.

If you haven't played this before, this game will be a new addiction.
