I think back then, there were no smartphones. I played Red Alert with a big-ass computer, built a bunch of light towers and watched the computer tanks line up to die. It was great, but my hand cramped when I clicked the mouse. Later, I played the World of Warcraft RPG tower defense map on the Haofang battle platform, such as gem TD and thief TD. A game can last two hours, and if a teammate disconnects, he has to start over. What now? As people get older and their livers become weaker, it feels really good to see this kind of cute tower defense.
Recently, Protect Carrot 3 was released on Android. I originally thought it would be a mobile game, but as soon as I started it, I couldn't stop playing it. The most outrageous thing is that it builds the turret in the city background, and any Ferris wheel or carousel can be used as a turret. The special effects are like fireworks, which is much better than the green laser strips of Red Alert back then. Moreover, this generation has added a story mode. Little guy Apo also has a city adventure. Watching the story while setting up battles is more interesting than just fighting monsters.
The most amazing thing is the new candy system. I thought it was for lolita at first, but I found out that sending candy to friends can unlock hidden turrets! Yesterday, my colleague gave me a watermelon hat and directly added a deceleration halo to Apo. He was so angry that he called me sinister. This interactivity can't be compared to the Warcraft RPG back then. At that time, you had to go online to connect to the platform. Now you can just click on WeChat to invite people to join the blacklist. It is so convenient that I am moved by the convenience.
But having said that, nowadays mobile games are all free to download, and skins and props cost money, but Defending Carrot 3 is very conscientious. I cleared the first four chapters for free, and I bought a monthly pass because I couldn't get through the last few levels. Think about the time when you had to buy pirated discs to play Red Alert, and it cost five yuan a piece to still fail to read the disc. Children in this era are really happy.
In short, if veterans miss the old tower defense and want to try something new, or simply want to find a spare time to have fun, this game can be arranged. Don't ask me why a thirty-five-year-old man shouted "Apo rushes duck" at the screen. The back wave is too fierce, and the veteran driver has to eat some cute things to stay alive. 😏
