Android / Tower defense

Pick your chokepoint.

Every tower-defense game asks a different question. Do you want to outplay a rival, march through a campaign, or tune a defense that never ends? Start with the answer.

Tower Rush: a defense with a rival

Solar Forge Games describes real-time battles on a shared battlefield, where defending sits alongside supporting your own troops. That makes it a different proposition from a campaign of fixed enemy waves.

Try it if reacting to another player sounds more fun than perfecting a solo level. Learn the tutorial first, and check the current store page for connection requirements and purchase details.

Quick habits

Three habits that carry over

General advice for the genre. Each game handles details its own way.

RULE 01

Trace the route.

Spot entrances, bends and exits before spending anything.

RULE 02

Cover first, upgrade second.

Good placement often matters as much as a stronger tower.

RULE 03

Read the enemy.

Check what each enemy type does before rebuilding everything.
