Defend Your Life: TD Reviews

I had a blast playing this game. It has a very unique theme, one which I have not seen in a tower defense game yet! As far as gameplay is concerned, it is a generic tower defense game with both enemies and towers each having their own strengths and weaknesses, that of which you'll come to learn throughout gameplay. I should also mention it has really good tutorials as well as videos guiding you through each level! Overall, through my experience playing I felt the game to be fun, had decent graphics, and could act as a good learning experience for beginners into the genre of tower defence games. One final note is that the 20 achievements for this game are fairly easy to get as well!!

This game is a mobile port to PC that is badly implemented, it starts out reasonably well then becomes unnecessarily difficult and totally unbalanced. Expect to grind a hero on the first level for hours on end again and again just to be able to afford to upgrade in-game bonuses. If you don't do this you will not be able to progress through the game and it will become impossible to complete. There are some really good tower defence games available on Steam, this game in my opinion is not one of them.

What a bargin! I got this game for 1 EUR and it is a really nice TD. I'm not crazy with the health concept that provides the 'story' for this game, but from a gameplay perspective it is really good. There is nothing new, but it is solid TD with loads of towers, many different type enemies, and a nice set of levels. You replay each level for new challenges - don't let the titles Easy, Middle, Hard fool you - each is a new 'campaign'. You have a hero, and can buy different types. Their skill increases as you play. In general, this game is a casual Kingdom Rush lite. It has really good tutorials and there are videos for each level if you fail, which makes this game an execellent 'TD starter' casual game for people who wants to try TD. And it is a casual TD - there are no advanced concepts, developments, or a multitude of levels - but it is casual fun and incredible good value for the money.

[b]===// TL;DR Version //===[/b] A decent but rather generic TD on the cheap. [b]===// Thorough Version //===[/b] It's a recommended buy [b]only[/b] if you're looking for a TD fix at a cheap price. At the moment, when I write this review, it's 80% off. Otherwise, there's nothing new compared to others in the swathe of TD games on Steam. If you're looking for something new in terms of mechanics, look elsewhere. The graphics isn't something to write home about; obvious mobile port is obvious. The assets are well-drawn, detracting this game from the rest of the run-of-the-mill TD games. Kinda reminds me of Worms. It's based on Unity, with the usual Unity launcher and a maximum resolution of...1024x768? I'm guessing the supported resolutions depend on the max vertical resolution of your display/monitor, which mine is 1366x768 since I'm on a laptop. It does, however, seem to support multi-display, as in you can decide on which monitor you'd want this game to be displayed in via the Unity launcher. There are (limited) global upgrades that affects towers' attack & range, tower sell value, specials' effectiveness, and in-level currency-related like how many starting oxygen per level or how much you get per mob kill. These upgrades are bought using 'tablets', which you can get from finishing a level. Each level holds a maximum of 7 tablets, which is divided to 3 at Easy, 2 at Medium, and 2 at Hard. The tablets are finite, but you can easily 'sell' upgrades if you want to put the tablets into other upgrades that you want more. The specials? It basically breaks down to the basic three. A bomb (AoE nuke), electric shock (global nuke), and adrenaline (AoE tower buff). Yes, that's it. Specials have infinite usage, though...limited only by their cooldowns. The in-level currency is oxygen, and the in-game one is crystal. Oxygen is what you use in a level to build towers. Crystal is, I'm just guessing here, effectively what you'd buy with real money in the mobile version. Crystals are used to buy boosters, which either adds oxygen, adds life, adds an extra of your strongest unit, resets all specials' cooldown, and global adrenaline. Yep, typical freemium boosters. The Encyclopedia is probably the most dodgy part of the game. The Enemy details is in-game, but when you click for Tower details, the game opens up your browser to load the related webpage on the game's website. Tips & Tricks is no different from Tower details. Others is basically other games made by the game studio, and yes, acts the same way as Tower details. Keep in mind that this game is a 430-ish MB download and 660-ish MB installed, so I don't really get the technical reason as for why they couldn't just cram everything locally in the Encyclopedia. My conclusion? Please refer to the TL;DR section at the top of this review. ;)

Defend your Life is a Tower Defense game with a nice and didactic subject: Human Body. While playing It you found yourself protecting your Body Organs from bacterias, viruses, diseases. The game increases difficulty as you clear stages. Things ramp up pretty quickly, actually, and the levels soon require you to focus on quite a lot. Several difficulty levels, Special Heroes with Level Up system, good and colored environments. I have enjoyed too much. https://youtu.be/ZjisdJdTTRY

Defend Your Life: TD is a tower defence (TD) game set inside the body of a patient on an operating table. You take control of the body's immune system to fight off waves of tapeworms, flu viruses, alcohol and other nasties. The game has the look of a 1970s educational cartoon. The graphics aren't actually bad. They're just a bit cringeworthy. However, there is a deliberate irony about the visual style and it's actually quite charming in some ways. For example, one of the hero units you can buy is based on the Incredible Hulk. As a TD game, it's quite well balanced and has the right mix to make it addictive fun. One slight drawback is that the menu sits on the right hand side of the screen and obscures the place where the creeps exit, which can cause great frustration when you can't click where you want to.

Defend your life is a tower defense game which was inspired by Kingdom Rush. Pros - Unique setting. It’s not just a usual fantasy setting which is typical for TD games. You defend the human body from different viruses and bacteria. There aren’t many games in this setting, and this game is definitely the first one of this kind in TD genre. - Although the game is a clone of Kingdom Rush, it has some new features. Magic tower has been replaced with a support tower. Each base tower can be upgraded into 2 different ones on level 1. Total number of towers is slightly higher than in KR. There are 3 skills instead of two. - Game is simple to play - There are game speed settings http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=888434517 Cons - Although I found "Human Body" setting interesting, can anyone explain me what does Rocket Launcher do in my stomach? Why do bacteria wear iron helmets? I would advise to use antibiotics and vitamins instead of cannon towers. It would perfectly fit. The game looks like a lazily-done concept. My final impression about this story and setting is totally negative. - This game was designed as free-to-play game for mobiles. There are consumable items which highly improve your defenses. Devs from KR cut these things when they ported the game to PC. But Alda Games decided to not waste their time and forced players to start the previous levels again and again to get "gems". - Waves of each mission are short and always the same. It's pretty interesting to watch them during the first 2-3 missions. When you find out that the next levels have almost the same types of waves, you get bored. The game is not bad. I think newcomers to TD genre would find "Defend your life" attractive. For these people I say wait for 60% discount and try it. But I can't recommend this game for people like me who like to play innovative and interesting games enjoying every minute of the game.

Defend your life - Your everyday tower defense game. First of all, I would like to say that I am recommending this game mostly for the casual gamers or for younger players. If you are a gamer that only goes for AAA games, this is not for you (though I guess that goes without saying). So, in general, here are the pro's: + quick / easy / fun to play (mildly adictive) + nice gradual difficulty progression + very fluid + excelent for a first tower defense or for younger audiances + you can beat the hell out of Cancer + Easy to get the full set of achievements + Good value for money. The cons: - Doesnt seem to fit the screen. I keep on getting the impression that I dont see what is going on the edges of the map - Game tends to become very slow during the final waves of the last level. - While playin in window mode, you will have to minimize windows bar - Sometimes the UI blocks you from seeing enemies or selecting them - ...cant recall of anything else that could be bad about it. I started playing Defend your life while I was spending Christmas holidays with the family, as a gap filler in the slower hours, and I couldnt be more pleased. It is a very simple and very basic tower defense game, based on defending your body against all sorts of virus and problems - which will be your enemies. In the begining, the game seems to have a childish look to it, and more adult people will probably relate it to the 80's cartoons "Once upon a time... life". The first couple of levels seem to be extremely easy and you feel that the game will get boring very soon. However, the difficulty level escalates in an interesting progression, and most levels seem to introduce something new. It gives you some time to learn in depth about all the enemies and defenses that you have available without "setting out the wolves" on you from a moment to another. Also, you cannot just jump to the hardest difficulties, as you will have to play "easy" to unblock "medium" and them "medium" to unblock "hard". This has some sense to it, has you will need to get money to evolve your bodies defenses, in order to make it into the harder difficulties. Otherwise, it would just be impossible. You will also have the opportunity to play with heros that will help you defend your body. These characters are upgradable in power, speed and health, and they will be fundamental for you to beat the game in the later stages. For the achievement hunters, it is also a great game to have. You can actually tick most of the achievements on your regular game play. No need to go into laborious tasks that in the end are boring and sound like a lot of work. All in all, it is a quick / easy to play game, that brings you a great value for money. I would recommend it!!! (Another negative - in window mode, it is so easy to forget to close the game and leave the room. I think I got 52h of gameplay in a week and that got me into trouble with my partner, has she thought that I spent the whole week playing games!!!)

I like this game quite a bit. Yeah its a generic tower defense game but its done very well. The economy and upgrade functions are solid and all the towers are solid with the level design functional. Also the theme is under explored. The graphics are charming and well done.

For such a cheap price at release i.e. 80% off the usual £3.99, I had more fun playing this Tower Defense (TD) game than I've had playing a lot of games I've paid 20 times as much for. Defend Your Life is a typical TD game with the usual tower purchases, for example upgradeable cannons and tesla towers, as well as other towers that slow units down or toss grenades, plus there are special towers such as those that give you extra oxygen. Oxygen is the currency in game which allows you to purchase more towers and upgrades, plus at the end of each level you are awarded tablets and diamonds, both of which can be spent either on upgrading your tower defenses or on special upgrades that can only be used once to top up other defenses that usually take time to recover such as the electric shock , bomb or adrenaline. The theme of this TD game is biological, with a human body being attacked by viruses. Each level gradually takes you further into the body. You can set the speed up to four times the normal speed and/or select from three different difficulties. Even at full price I think Defend Your Life is a bargain. I reckon most TD fans will enjoy this game and it's also an excellent introduction for those new to the genre. The easy mode is relatively easy to beat. I played through several levels with no losses. The harder levels give less currency to buy the various upgrades and the speed of the viruses are increased, plus you get less oxygen currency to start with. With 22 different enenies, all with different strengths and weaknesses, for example the flu virus divides into two weaker flu viruses when it is killed and the Nicotinic unit disappears when first hit and is immune from attack while invisible, at least from the tower defenses. You can still damage these with bombs and electric shocks. There's a tips and tricks section as well as an encyclopedia that gives you information about each building, for example the Tesla tower does more damage for each shot than any other tower, but takes a longer time to recharge. There are some nice little touches like the defensive towers that when activated create little beings that don't do actual damage, but block the path of incoming viruses. When damaged they recover fairly quickly. If destroyed new ones will replace them before the next wave. You can start the next wave early by clicking on the warning symbol that pops up near the place where the viruses first appear. The quicker you do this, the more oxygen is added to your total, giving you more currency to buy or upgrade towers. The 20 achievements for this game are relatively easy to attain, so long as you can survive the waves of viruses.
