One of the best tower defense games ever made. Originally bought this for PS3. Best with 2 people and controllers on the couch.

Oct. 2025

PixelJunk™ Monsters Ultimate is a fantastic tower defense game with charming pixel art, addictive gameplay, and challenging levels. It offers hours of strategic fun and is perfect for fans of retro-styled, engaging tower defense experiences.

This game seems to be mostly forgotten now; But don't let that deter you. This is a fantastic Tower Defense game with an incredibly relaxing atmosphere that contrasts the high difficulty well. Lots of content, great online co-op support. The scale of the enemies and player are a bit oversized in comparison to the original on PS3 but that's hardly a complaint. If this even looks remotely interesting to you than make sure you pick this one up,

This is my favorite tower defense game of all time. I've been playing this game for over 10 years and still come back to it. It's great!

Aug. 2025

Simple but addictive. Couch co-op on PC with controllers works great. Hours of fun with my wife! In terms of recent games, this one does the best job of channeling the tower defense Warcraft 3 mods I played long ago with friends.
