Top 5 Tower Defense Games
Tower Defense games have been very popular lately, so I thought I’d take a look at my Top 5 Tower Defense Games.
I believe the idea behind tower defense games comes from Warcraft 3. Basically you need to build different type of towers in order to destroy the “creeps”. Usually the towers have different properties and upgrade opportunities.
5. Tower Defense is very basic with very simple graphics. All creeps are grey circles that move at the same speed.
There’s not much to this one, but it’s the first TD game I played so it makes the list because of the addictiveness.
4. Flash Element TD has basic graphics which a variety of different looking creeps. There are two types of creeps, land and air based. So some towers can only hit land targets, some only air and some can hit both.
This one includes a monetary bonus depending on how much you have left in the bank after each wave of creeps. So it’s to your benefit to survive a wave by spending the least amount of money. You really need to do this to go far in the game.
3. Flash Circle TD is the sequel to Flash Element TD but a different game all together. The graphics and sound are much better and it’s kept the cool monetary bonus.
What makes this different is that there are endless waves of creeps that keep walking around the map. You lose once 100 creeps are on the screen.
2. Desktop Tower Defense is unique in that you determine which path the creeps have to take. All the want to to is cross the screen so it’s up to you to put towers in their way making it a long journey for them.
The downside to Desktop Tower Defense is the graphics. The just aren’t that special, however trying to create a long path is quite addictive.
1. Onslaught like Desktop Tower Defense isn’t very special graphically, but it does offer so much more.
Onslaught has 8 different maps to play. Towers have 3 upgrade options (Damage, Range, Fire Rate) where others have just 1. Different towers can work together to make much stronger attacks.
There are a lot of aspects to Onslaught that need to be mastered to go far and get your name on the leader board.
There are heaps of these games out there, but these five are my favourites.
Go forth and kill the creeps!
Hey Dot, I tried the game, it’s too bad it moves so slowly. I felt like I had been playing for a while..looked up..lol only level 16. I quit. I don’t have the patience for the pace of it.
From what I can tell, those rebound towers and missle ones look effective. The red towers that shoot the little bullets…seemed uneffective after about the 12th level. looks like you’re going to want to get at least one blue freeze tower established by l0th level. If I had the patience for the pace, I would play it out.
Good luck!!
http://www.apple-group.com thinks otherwise.. right?
hi
Try FETD 2. The best one ever. Or MPDTD, a Multiplayer TD.

I have another nice Top 7 TD games link for you: Top Tower Defense games.
on tower def i got 64
I can’t believe more people havent given credit to Metalix yet. I guess its been undiscovered so far. I play a lot of Tower Defense games and in my opinion this one is the best by far because it is extremely challenging and forces you to make smart decisions. Also graphically it’s 3D and I think it’s trumphs all others in that category to. Heres a link:
http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/metalixtd.jsp give it a try and let me know what others think about it. I got to level 27, see if anyone can beat it and post on here and let me know.
You can find hacked tower defence games here on arcadetrainer.com

Hey thanks for the list. I’ve played most of these before but Flash Circle TD was new to me. Great game.
onslaught sucks
I don’t think the best game is here. I like this one: http://www.addictinggames.com/metalixtowerdefense.html
yea
metalix is the hardest, I can’t beat level 10, i can’t figure it out. I really like the game though. I think all the others aren’t good compared to this, this is better.
When it comes to Tower Defence Games I like Flash Element Td the most!
Planet Defender ; this game rox.

http://armorgames.com/play/522/antbuster
this is the website for antbuster or just write it on google
wonderful this is the website for antbuster or just write it on google
ahaha lol, my first tower defence game was “castle” by abra, whitch ran ona programcalled byond, hnce the nam of the site byond.com
i feel im a bit of a TD nerd, i seem to master them very fast, whitch is a bit annoying, i dont get alot of playing time, it gets boreing after a while. so far i would haft to say onslaught is the best td game ive ever playeed, i just loveh the way the rocket towers work and the turreyt combo, only downside is it would be better if there were actually more tpes of ofencive turret andless of the *exchangerate* things
Hey i love td games.Try Anti-TD or Antbuster.Google TD games for a BIG sullection.I like onslught 2 as my first TD game and it caught me up to other TD games.Go onto ArcadeVoyage.com for TD games with Money Hack,Including,Vector TD, Onslaught 2,And AntBuster!
just had a go on vector td, its got to be the worst ive ever played, theres nothing original about it, how can people say it overtakes onslaught?! tell me 5 things really original about vector td and ill admit it. oh and also i completed it on my firts try. level 3 green tower ftw.here’s my personal list:
1: onslaught
2: castle
3: wicked defence
4: master of defence
5: that zombie one that was put up here was pretty good.
to tell you the truth i find that games like desktop tower defence and antdefender i dont like, hafting to make your own maze. i prefer preset ones with an option of making your own map. i find it much more challenging and the own map bit help the game stay fun for longer.
rofl that anti td gave me a run for my money, i wasent sure what to do at first, the game doesnt make all that sense to me though, you still gain money qhen your own creaturs die whitch is a bit odd… wasent that hard to beat level 100 though
ohho?! i just found 3 TD games that ive never played before!
1: Omega tower defense 2
2: DtD tower defence
3: Random Defence
The first one is awesome! definatly beats castle off number 2, much like onslaught but no combo’s and not as creative
the second one i havent gogt around to playing, you hafta download it and the links not working for me
the 3rd one i havent played yet either!
oops forgot to add about Omega, i tihnk it moves way too slowly. thats one of the downsides of it
by the way, if anybody wants any hints or help on ALMOST any tower defence game just ask away!
http://vectorflash.com/keepthekeep/alpha/
found another one! unlike any ive ever seen and it ROCKS, place your keep, then build walls and turrets, and people ontop of the walls to defend the keep.
http://armorgames.com/play/1716/gemcraft
surely one of the best one out there
http://www.zibumi.com/Waves-of-Joy.html
a new td, and seems like a good one.
woo, 4389 kills, 242173 shots, 887471 spent and 38951102191 points on onslaught 2.1 hard mode.
onslaught is a fun game, but gets boring. my faveorite defence game ever is gemcraft, even though it isnt on here. try it out. its on armourgames.com and addictinggames.com
