Tower Defense games were one of the first genres on mobile to really capture the mobile gaming audience. The biggest reason is because the games almost exclusively feature simple tap controls. Thus, the controls are extremely well suited for touch screens. The genre saw a renaissance on mobile years ago. It’s slowed down quite a bit, but there are still new tower defense games out every year. Here are the best tower defense games for Android.
The Bloons TD 6
The Bloons TD series is one of the most popular and successful tower defense franchises on mobile. The latest one, Bloons TD 6, launched in 2018. It features 20 maps, tons of upgrades, 19 towers, three upgrade paths, offline support, new game modes, and more. Of course, previous iterations of the game have their charms as well and some of them still get updates. It's nice to see companies still taking the genre seriously even years after it hit its second renaissance. Bloons TD 6 (and previous games) are solid tower defense games for reasonable prices.
Defenders 2 is a tower defense
Defenders 2 is a tower defense and card-collecting hybrid. You unlock various towers and such by collecting cards. The things you unlock are usable in the game. The freemium aspect should be fairly apparent. However, this game can pump out a few dozen good hours of play before it starts bothering you for money. It features a total of 40 towers, 20 spells, 29 bosses, and even PvP. There is also a selection of challenges that make the game that much harder. It doesn't look half bad, either.
Defense Zone 3
Defense Zone 3 is the latest of a popular series of tower defense games. It features a lot of the mechanics from the prior two games along with some new stuff to freshen things up. It also features several difficulty modes, eight kinds of turrets, special battles, and support for 20 languages. The graphics are also pretty good. It's a freemium game and that's not necessarily ideal. However, it's still a pretty decent game.
Digfender
Digfender is a fun take on the tower defense genre. Each level gives you a basic map. You'll then have to dig your level out yourself and defend the path you dig. The game features 70 levels, a survival mode where you can challenge for leaderboard supremacy, achievements, and a variety of upgrades. It also boasts no pay walls or wait timers so you can play as much as you want. It's one of the most underrated tower defense games out there.
Dungeon Defense
Dungeon Defense is another interesting tower defense title. It's similar to Plants vs Zombies. You'll have a field along with a left border. You place heroes on the border and they fight off bad guys who try to cross the field. It has a little more action and input from the player than most tower defense games. You can collect various weapons and upgrades to help make the defense easier. There are also achievements if that matters to you. It's a good little game, especially considering it was built by a single developer. $0.99 is also relatively inexpensive.
Element TD
Element TD is a newer pay-once tower defense game in a genre that is quickly being overtaken by freemium titles. It features simple graphics and a fairly standard premise. There are maps, you lay down towers, and hope they can get the job done. There is an elemental mechanic where the elements you choose determine which towers you can lay down. That helps provide an extra layer of challenge. There are also 44 towers, 50 different bad guys, 30 achievements, and five difficulty settings. It's a solid overall game and it's worth a shot.
Grow Castle
Grow Castle is one of the interesting tower defense games. This one gives you an actual tower that you must defend. It can be stocked with a selection of heroes that do the defending. There are 120 heroes, Each one has its own powers to shape the context of the game. The game also features a ranking system, guilds, and more. It's a freemium game. That's probably the thing we like least about it. It is a fun play, though.
