It appeals greatly to the gamer's OCD, since the better you play the beginning of a mission, the more freedom you have to build deadly mazes for the remainder of the mission, the easier victory becomes, and the more often you can see your score skyrocket into the hundreds of millions. net and that pumped feeling of starting the map with a full lobby of people (because, of course, you needed a full lobby to even have a chance!)The biggest reason why Defense Grid is so great is because of its scoring system, which rewards even the tiniest improvements in performance with exponentially more money and score. Even today, it still hits me with that old 2. They’ve even borrowed some classic towers from other games, like the tesla coils from the Red Alert series. Gun towers are basically bunkers of marines, inferno towers are bunkers of firebats, cannon towers are bunkers of ghosts, and so on. The people who made Defense Grid understand where tower defense came from. I haven't played as many tower defense games over the years as I would have liked, and I blame it all on the quality and longevity of this one. So, is Defense Grid still the best? Honestly, I have no clue. A lot of time has passed since then, and hundreds of weird and interesting tower defense games have been released. When it was first released, it was undeniably the best tower defense game in the world - but that's not surprising, because its only competition was Desktop Tower Defense and a handful of other shoddy flash games that were starting to ride the trend. For perspective, it came out only a year after The Orange Box did. As of this writing, this game is almost 7 years old.
