Random Defence

Random Defence

Random Defence is yet another horribly addictive tower defence game. Incidentally, I'm curious why the British variant of "defence" seems to be the one most of these games use. This one has numerous boards, about 51 swarms, and a number of funky defenses. The trick is not to loose lives but to do so as cheaply as possible because both your assets remaining and lives remaining figure into the final score.

Personally, I have fairly good luck at surviving with about seven missile turrets upgraded as fast as I can afford to but I never end up with a lot of money that way so my final score isn't great.

The round things to the left are research and financial centers. The blue is electrical research, the green gun research (what could be more environmentally friendly than large artillery?), the yellow is a financial center, supposedly it adds interest to your money at each level, and the red is explosives research.

You have to have a certain technology level to upgrade various weapons. That thing shooting the green beam, that's a super turret with a laser. That sucker is expensive both directly, and in that it requires all three research centers to be at certain levels for various levels before you can acquire it and to upgrade the turret; but it kills anything.

This is a screen shot of the last swarm which is referred to as "The Yard Sale", and this is also a fairly typical configuration that I use; preferring the missile turrets to other weapons systems. They are reliable defenders but they are expensive.

Hi!

I love defence games! My all time favourite is of course Desktop Tower Defence, but there are plenty of other defence games.

I am trying to collect some defence games on my online game portal, and would love to hear any feedback to your favourites. So far we only have two games. Bunker is an internal production (Bodhi of Nutstation), while Strategy Defence 3 is created by Belugerin of BG Games.

Thanks!

PS: I forgot to mention how you can reach us to recommend a game.

1. Click on a link to one of our games (this link to Bunker for example).

2. Click on the support email address presented there (I will not reproduce it here to avoid spambots from reaching it!)

Thanks!

I played bunker and really wouldn't consider it to be in the defence genre but rather in the shooter genre.

Reminds me a lot of a similar game that was based in a Mars setting but can't remember the name.
