A sweet tower defence game.
This is a genius game. The best way of "tower defence" I ever played – yet. It got humour and a good sense of strategy. Playing this game is a perfect way to just waste time and click away the night.
Graphics: 8.0/10.
The general graphic has a nice comic feeling. The menus are really nice and easy to look at and everything is easy for the eye to locate. The flowers are cute and the zombies look dumb, as it should be! But I would like to se different faces on the zombies, so the variety could be better.
Sound: 9.0/10.
I love the sound in the game. "Brains" is said with a lot of different voices, and that's all that need to be said. The music is also cool as the intensity and layers of instruments are affected by how many zombies are on the screen at the same time. You wont easily get bored with the nice tunes either. The song in the Zen garden is a bit to short though.
Gameplay: 8.5/10.
There are different ways to play: endless challenges, puzzles, the garden or the story mode. This game is really well packed for being a puzzle game. While playing you can use some different tactics to approach the zombies, there are choices to make all the time and you need to put your brain into battle. In story mode you always get a new seed or enemy when progressing, this makes you play on and on and on. Then you can use your new earned seeds in special challenges, or try to make a bit of money in the Zen garden.
Story: 9.5/10.
That a puzzle game like this even has a story is awesome for me. But then it's also good and has variety. I really like that you can continue after you finished the story mode once and play it over again with a little tweak from your disturbed neighbour. But this game also has a lot of non storyline game modes, which is good for a change from the story. It could still have an effect on the story in terms of making money to buy new seeds, smart!
Idea: 10/10.
I cannot understand that there isn't any other game that compares to this. It's unique but still so simple and built on well known foundations. That zombies come in waves to eat somebody's brain isn't really new, and to collect seeds to plant new kinds of plants isn't really new either. And tower defence games are not at all new…but the combination of the three is a GENIUS idea.
