Fun tower defense game, nice simple artistic design but a little bit hard.

I love the design of the game. It's in 2D, but the simple way everything is made is just charming. Well, it's effective and work to interest me in playing the game.

Still, it's not just the visual that is good, the challenge is there. The game starts well, easy with a good and simple tutorial. Then it goes harder and harder until you start swearing.

The music is quite smooth and cool, but after a while it gets repetitive. Even the sound effects gets annoying. But it only gets on your nerve after you spent a few hours in front of the screen playing the same stage, wanting to have this perfect score.

This tower defense game lets you control a kind of a Shaman with a big wooden mask. This guy is going to change trees into tower to protect the base where there is all your friend. Oh, and you can upgrade your towers by dancing by their side. Personally, I love this last fact. lol

You can unlock stuff to help your shaman, first you'll want to have the speed potion, then the destructive mines. After that, there is only the lightning tower which is almost worthless (in fact, it is worthless).

In this tower defense game, in the harder levels, you have to think carefully where you place your tower or else, you're going to be sorry. Even though, sometimes it seem almost impossible to get through some stages. It gets harder if you want that perfect score. Sometimes you have to start over when you completed 19/20 of the stage. It won't happen once, but a lot of times. That's the thing I hate the most about the game, you always have to start over (but I guess that's what make a tower defense game).

I still think you need to enjoy tower defense game to play PixelJunk Monsters. Try the demo first.
