Review
Age of Defense is a quirky little tower defense with fun art and flavor. I enjoy the cute cartoony style, and it has a good amount of humor. There is also a good amount of flavor. The menus and units information is all written in cave paintings. This is cool until you have to adjust the settings or figure out what the units do. Changing the settings is simple enough, but it is annoying that the game isn’t optimized from start up. There are tool tips that populate for the units that tell the stats, but they are kind of small and I would have preferred it to be the default. They can at least have an easy to find toggle to give players the option to switch between texts. Once you play the game a bit, the pictures do make sense, but I have trouble reading it in game.
The gameplay itself is your typical tower defense. Players have access to an income. They spend that income on towers. They repeat until they beat all the waves, or they let too many enemies by. The only difference this game has is its flavor. Everything works pretty well, the units are cute, but I wish I could zoom. I am getting old, and the fact that I can’t zoom or move around the map feels too restrictive. Other than that, I enjoyed the casual loop of the tower defense.
Whether or not you should buy this game depends on how much you like the flavor. As far as tower defense games go, you have better options at this price. The price seems very steep for what it is. This game feels like it should be $5 maybe $8 at the most. I did enjoy my time with the game, but not enough to play full price. I would wait for the sale, unless you really like the caveman aesthetic.
You can pick up Age of Defense on Steam for $14.99.
