Top 5 Tower Defence Games on Android
Best ways to fortify your position on Android
There are some genres which simply don't sit well on touchscreen devices. We've all found ourselves cursing at a floating D-pad at one point or another, a control compromise that plagues mobile platformers and third-person shooters to this day.
One category of game which perfectly fits the smartphone mould, however, is tower defence. Using the touchscreen to place turrets is even more intuitive than using a standard controller or mouse, and the wave-based gameplay is ideally suited for quick bursts of strategic violence.
To help guide you down the heavily fortified channel of the Google Play's strategy section, we've drawn up a list of the Top 5 tower defence games on Android.
So, get your guard up, and prepare for a relentless barrage of high-quality games.

Rather than pushing out troops or setting up sentries, DroidHen's flight of fancy requires you to take charge of a large automatic crossbow, and then leaves you to it. Plus, if you get bored of losing arrows, you can rain down a storm of magical fire. Which is fun. |
