Hello everyone, I am the editor of Qitan~ Today I want to talk to you about a super stress-relieving game type - Idle Tower Defense. There is no need to rush around and wait until three in the morning. Just move your fingers and watch the little heroes fight automatically. The sense of accomplishment is really addictive😆
The editor recently discovered a new treasure game called "Guarding the Cliff", which comes from Shenzhen Mingya Digital Entertainment Network Technology Co., Ltd. It has been launched on the 5.0 platform, and it is completely free! Taking advantage of this fresh energy, let's take a look at a few good games of the same type to see if you like them~
The first thing I recommend is "Tower of Counterattack". This game follows the classic tower defense route, with a rich variety of heroes, but the synthesis mechanism is a bit random. Sometimes you are lucky, and you can combine three consecutive heroes to form a legendary hero, which will directly win the MVP of the game; when you are not lucky, you can only silently watch the soldiers kill people. However, the pace is relatively slow, suitable for grinding on the commute.
The second one is called "Tribal Defense War". It focuses on strategic matching, and you need to adjust your position according to the enemy's attributes. However, because there are too many heroes, novices are easily confused, and the strength of some heroes is unbalanced, making them a little unpopular.
The third game is "Mini Tower Defense". It has a cute style and simple gameplay, but the levels are highly repetitive and you will feel a little tired after playing for a long time. It's more suitable for passing time, but it lacks some sense of surprise.
Then there's today's protagonist, “Guarding the Cliff”! The editor was attracted by its "random synthesis + placement" gameplay at first glance. There is a limited board in the game, on which you need to summon heroes, drag them to combine, and let them automatically defend. There are many types of heroes, from swordsmen to mages to assassins, and there are even hidden legendary characters! And you can mix and match freely to form your own exclusive army, such as a wave of all mages, or a counterattack formation of human shields and nannies, which is full of tactical sense.
The most addictive thing is its rhythm - a game of three to five minutes, which is simply tailor-made for "rhythmists". Every time the synthesis is successful, the hero is upgraded, and watching the numbers soar, I really can't stop feeling happy. The PVP mode is even more exciting. Your lineup will compete with real opponents in real time. Waves of troops collide. Whoever knocks down the opponent's base first wins. The editor has been playing for ten games in a row and can't stop at all😭
To be honest, among many games of the same type, "Guard the Cliff" has a good balance. There are no obviously useless heroes. It just depends on how you combine them. And it's free with no in-app purchases, which I must like! If you also like relaxed yet strategic games, I highly recommend giving it a try~
Finally, let me mention the nostalgic "Ancient Guardians". Although the painting style is rough, the gameplay is classic and it is a favorite game for many old players. But it seems a bit outdated now, and it may not be easy for newcomers to accept it.
Okay~ That's it for today's inventory. Have you played any fun idle tower defense games recently? Feel free to comment to the editor in the comment area, maybe there will be your recommendations in the next review 😉
(Friendly reminder from the editor: Although the game is good, don't be too playful, sleep when you should and eat when you should~)
