Random Monday : More Tower Defense Flash Games

I present two different takes on the tower defense genre today. Not the freshest games though but still as detrimental to productivity as other tower defense games :)

Onslaught 2
The first game is Onslaught 2 by Gaby Vanhegan (see jayisgames review). In this variation of the Tower Defense theme, there are only four types of turrets – fast firing machine guns (blue), linked lasers (green), rocket launchers (red) and tazer beams (yellow).

Turrets can be upgraded in terms of damage, range and rate of fire separately. What’s more, if you upgrade the damage of turrets to the max, it will also perform combos with nearby turrets with maxed out damage.

To see which towers are in range for combos, press C to toggle the combo display – when you attempt to build or select a turret, turrets eligible for combos will be highlighted in yellow. The first turret to fire at the enemy triggers the combo so you may need to upgrade the ranges of some of the turret to activate the desired combo. See the list of combos here.

The starting waves may be easy but after that only combos can provide a successful defense against the hordes. It’s very fun if you can get the hang of the combo feature, otherwise it’s pure hell as your defence totally crumbles when the tougher waves roll in.

VectorTD
Next one is VectorTD created by David Scott. (Read about this over at blog de ahpoh)

VectorTD is different in the sense that each tower does 150% damage to one particular color of vectoids and 50% damage to another (other colours receive 100% damage). This means that you will have to build towers of different colours to defend against the hordes of different vectoids coming your way.

Another neat feature is the ability to set your towers’ targeting priorites to fire at the closest, strongest or weakest vectoid. Add the ability to toggle target locking and you have absolutely no one to blame for a sloppy defence :)

Unfortunately, the damage of lower tier towers (even after maxing up the levels) just don’t match up against the higher tier towers and I often end up selling your lower tier towers (sometimes too late).

Nonetheless, the extremely streamlined gameplay and polished graphics will definitely keep you coming back for more :)
