RPGCreations (creators of Missing and Alphasix) announce the release of Immortal Defense, a story-based tower defense game.

The classic elements of tower defense are there: players must use strategically-placed towers to fight off waves of "creeps", preventing them from getting to the end of the path. The player can build new towers or upgrade existing ones to defeat the ever-more-dangerous "creeps", earning money for each kill--money which can be used to expand and refine the basic defense even further.

Immortal Defense features eleven unique towers (or "Points"), each with their own distinctive personality and style of fighting. Each Point represents a different aspect of the player's will and personality.

The mouse cursor is an integral gameplay element. The cursor fires at enemies in its range, giving your overall defense an extra boost at critical moments. The mouse cursor also allows you to "target" specific enemies, involving the player more closely in the action than the typical tower defense game (where it's sufficient to simply place all of your towers, sit back, and watch your strategy in action.)

An absolutely amazing TD clone, with good innovation and design. Worth the 20$. Long demo too, at least a few hours of gameplay

Much appreciated, happy you enjoyed it. For those who get stuck on the first boss (a lot of people seem to be doing that), here's a hint I wrote for numerous others who have requested it:"Okay, you fight the Brother Bavakh twice. The first time you fight him, the way to win is to use the *second charge attack* (press right mouse click, wait until it charges to the second level, and release it on the enemy); this will cause Aa's tower's shots to all focus toward that point. The trick is that the Brother Bavakh randomly disrupts the flight pattern of the bullets, so you need to do it *at the right time*, notably in the instant just after all the bullets change course (they do so periodically). Aa's Limited Point is the strongest tower in that level, so sometimes it helps to restart the level several times until the Limited Point of Aa (he places it first I think) is in a good place, somewhere near the center. And use *all* the love points on Aa's Limited Point."

Hmm, I have to say that while I enjoyed it and played for a few hours, I didn't feel like there was anything left that justified buying it to me.

Understandable, the game isn't for everyone, some people get addicted to the gameplay, some people want to see how the story ends, some don't.

Bought! What a nice game.
