Evil Defenders

Evil Defenders is a tower defense game for players who want lanes, waves, and a steady job of placing and upgrading defenses. By our assessment, its best quality is the familiar tower defense structure itself: reading routes, spending resources, and tightening a setup as pressure climbs. That also defines its ceiling, since the genre lives on repetition and on learning the map rather than on surprise. In play, this kind of game is about small decisions made over and over, with the pace set by incoming enemies instead of free movement. Compared with broader strategy games, it is narrower and more focused, which is a strength if that loop is what someone wants. Evil Defenders is for people who like that sort of planning and do not need much narrative around it.
