Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

One of the most played online games has come to the DS. Highly acclaimed and awarded, Desktop Tower Defense has been played over 66 million times. This highly addictive single player strategy game is true to the original's game style while adding compelling new features that utilize the DS' innovative technology, including the ability of players to draw their own towers and attackers with the stylus.

Gameplay
In Desktop Tower Defense players are tasked with eliminating a hordes of invading enemies known as 'Creeps.' To do this they construct a combination of turrets to fight from, which surround the Creeps' invasion path and place mazes in Creeps' paths to keep them in range of the weapon-mounted turrets. This is more complex than it seems though. The game contains many different kinds of Creeps, each with different abilities, meaning players must constantly be aware of which mazes and turrets are where, and be able to update these on the fly when necessary.

  • Eliminate Creeps - Tactically place protective towers of differing defensive and offensive capabilities throughout the playing field, all while invaders known as "creeps" attempt to march across the screen.

  • So Many Creeps, So Little Time - Battle against group, flying, immune, spawn, dark and morph creeps all with different skills to challenge the best of players.
  • Customization - Create your own addictive experience by drawing towers and designing unique unrelenting "creeps" using the innovative technology of the Nintendo DS stylus, for a game experience of unending possibilities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Faithful port of the online game, November 4, 2009
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I've played DTD online at Kongregate until my fingers bled. I love it, and the challenges it presents. So I was glad to see there was a version of the game for DS, so I could play it at times when I didn't have access to my computer.

If you're buying this for something new, you're likely to be disappointed. But as a new way to play the same game, it's a very faithful version of the game, with a few slight twists on how the game works.

Definitely one of the best TD games out there. Now if only they would bring a version of Gemcraft to the DS...

1.0 out of 5 stars Big deception !, May 16, 2009
By Synchronyme (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
I love the flash game you can play for free on Internet, but this DS version is SO bad it hurts:
_ The graphics are very poor and have only, like, 32 colors. Don't expect the cool design from the flash version.
_ The playability is horrible. The buttons work during the game, but not with the menus, so you have to switch buttons/stylus again and again.
_ The user interface is NOT lisible and feels as a 1990s game. Why important informations like money and health are not display in bigger size ? Also it's hard to tell the difference between tower's upgrades.

All in all, this game is a quick, dirty port of a wonderfull PC game. A lot of homebrews are way better than this and are free !

So if you enjoy tower defence games, i suggest to stick with NinjaTown (wonderfull gem, but sadly too short) until another one came out.
