CastleStorm vs Digfender
CastleStorm
CastleStorm is a 2D tower defense game with a very unique twist. It features a combination of sandbox-like castle-building feature - a feature that some may liken to Hustle Castle - with a challengingly strategic gameplay, where you not only have to defend your own castle from being destroyed and your flag captured; you will also need to deploy troops - there are plenty to choose from - to attack your opponent's castle by first battering down the gates, and capturing the flag.Unlike many other similar games, you can also deploy your hero into the battlefield to grant your troops some morale support. You can personally control your hero and he will have a range of skills that you can use as well. Interestingly, when not in "hero mode", you can use the many siege weapons available to hurl heavy objects at the enemy's troops or castle à la Angry Birds-style.
The game focuses mainly on single-player in the past but it recently han unveiled a PvP multiplayer game mode where players build up their castle and let other players take a shot at it.
CastleStorm is an incredibly addictive game to play, especially if you're a huge fan of tower defense-like games; and not only that, the game has plenty of hilarious characters and dialogues which will at the very least make you chuckle from time to time. It's a game worth buying (for PC, Xbox and PS4. The game is free-to-play on mobile platforms) and you can even play it on any major platform you prefer!
Digfender
Digfender is a fun and challenging tower-defense game that, unlike many other games, is set underground. In this game, your ultimate goal is to protect your castle while digging a way down towards a cavern (possibly containing treasure). However, as you dig, creatures that have slumbered in the frozen ground will be awakened and they aren't happy with the rude awakening.In terms of gameplay, this game is intriguing to say the least, because you not only get to dig the path in which your enemies will be using; you will also need to be strategic in the placements of your towers. Towers come in many different ranges and damage capacities, allowing you to mix and match them until you find the perfect combination. Of course, each tower can be further upgraded and augmented, via support towers, giving them high damage, longer range or even faster XP gain so you can level them up.
The different types of enemies, along with their unique set of strengths and weaknesses, also provide you with some extra challenge. What's most interesting, however, is the fact that you can replay a level to collect a special token called a Relic. Relic tokens can then be spent in the special upgrade tree in the game.
All in all, Digfender is a fantastic tower-defense game that is as fun as it is strategic. If you're a huge fan of tower defense games, this is a game you'll want to try!
