Digfender vs Orcs Must Die: Unchained
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!
Orcs Must Die: Unchained
Orcs Must Die: Unchained is the free to play version of the popular Orcs Must Die game franchise. Being the third installment of the said franchise, the game still features the series' iconic tower defense-like (but with traps) gameplay but it has added a new multiplayer aspect that seem to combine the popular MOBA genre with tower defense, providing the game with a more competitive side. Interestingly, the game even let you decide which creeps you want to deploy, giving players more flexibility to craft the commonly AI-controlled element to suit their intentions be it to defend their own core or to heighten the offensive and put pressure on the opposing team's defenses. Of course, let's not forget about the franchise hallmark sense of humor as well - thankfully, this is as much as a part of Orcs Must Die 1 and 2 as it is in this MOBA-like game.As unique as this game is though, Orcs Must Die: Unchained hasn't really taken off into the mainstream, perhaps mainly because the game level-restricts its maps, forcing lower level players to replay the same low-level map over and over until they manage to unlock a new one. Not to mention, many fans of their previous game was not happy that the game has deviated so much from its original. However, if you're looking for a truly unique MOBA with tower defense elements, Orcs Must Die: Unchained is a very good game to play.
