April 2026
Tower defense game originally released on the Playstation 3 in 2007 with an original look involving Polynesian-style creatures with masks. There's a charm to the game, but it lacks tower types and visible upgrades besides differently colored flags. Eventually you do get more towers, neat ones, but it takes a while. Moving the hero around to transform trees to towers and pick up loot is different than the usual, but borderline annoying as he's slow and the loot vanishes after a certain time. However, there's a speed upgrade you get when completing a special stage on the first island and that's a game changer, making the game way more enjoyable. The paths don't make sense. The monsters have a clear way to the base, and yet they go back or take the long way around. No quality of life features from modern tower defense games such as fast forward or slow motion. No story to motivate you to continue except on the store page. Mouse controls are clunky. With gamepad controls, it is acceptable, but I sometimes destroyed a tower instead of upgrading it. The lounge-type music is mostly unobstructive and I never turned it off. It is annoying to be blocked from progressing because you need to reach X number of perfect levels. There is a leaderboard on each stage where you can see your friends. Despite my complaints and initial negative view of the game, I eventually learned to like its quirks and appreciate it for what it was. Top two tips: complete the special areas as early as you can and play at Casual difficulty, which isn't so easy, especially if you want to perfect a stage to progress.

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,
