It's been quite a while ago but this was a great Tower Defense type game. I enjoyed playing many of the levels multiple times
The best tower defense of all time. Worth the money, plus the second game in the series is even better!
Defense Grids age shows a little, but its still a fun game to beat in a little at a time. Catch it for cheap and enjoy I have played through it a few times over the years. Raspberrys for the win.
