Defender’s Quest! You Got Your Tower Defense in my RPG!

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 9, 2013

I’m a sucker for Tower Defense games.  It’s sort of a subgenre of Real Time Strategy games (which I’m also a fan of, but I don’t have the devotion to play very competitively). In fact, I have heard that they got their start as user-created mods / levels for Warcraft III and other RTS games. […]
