This is a TD (Turret Defense) game. It has a light hearted approach to an alien invasion with characters that draw you in. Even though there are only a few panels, at the end of a mission I found myself saying, "What do you think about that Johnny? In your face with your giant robot!" It is easy enough to learn with the installed tutorials. Beware of false advice as you play through. "These are dangerous enemies, use these..." is not necessarily sound advice. You'll figure it out. There are lots of unique maps and some small randomness to the enemies. If you look at the playthrough videos you'll see there is no best way to win a battle. Each encounter leaves a lot of room for individuality. Bottom line, you got a big boss, you need lots of DPS. You choose how to bring it. I'm on my third playthrough now and not at all bored. Drop me a line if you have questions.

This game is great! I love the artwork and music. It's "ancient" but high-tech, so it reminds me of those old Thundarr The Barbarian or He-Man cartoons. It's got some innovative features for tower defense that I've never seen elsewhere. It's incredibly well polished and I don't think I've encountered any bugs. They didn't just hack this together. Overall, I think it's a fun tower defense game and it's too bad it didn't get much traction and Moonlight Mouse hasn't made any more games.

Ancient Planet Tower Defense is a very fun game to play, this is a well designed and thought out tower defense game. The visuals are very immersive and well drawn. I enjoy the fact that there are two main types of weapons and two races of enemies that are affected differently by these weapon types. I also enjoy the comics and hints in the comics before the start of each level. This game is really fun and I am so glad that I found it. I highly recommend this game to others.

Really enjoyed this Tower Defense game. I love games where there are an actual grid you can place your towers on. This one was both simple, challenging and well balanced. It had a fun story line. It had plenty of good towers and upgrade paths (including a few that aren't very economical) but not so many that you get overwhelmed or overloaded. It can require a tiny bit of pre-planning and changing your upgrades in the later levels (or simply play a few more of your favorite levels to get more gems to upgrade). One of my favorite games in years and definitely recommended.

Super addictive and really fun TD, great upgrades, enemies and maps. Maybe a little on the easy side, just got stuck on one stage for a bit. Recommended for all fans of the genre!
