Tower defense games are a particularly addicting niche of apps. The combination of strategy and action is perfectly suited for both hardcore and casual gamers to find something they love.
Any one of them typically provides hours of intense, enemy-destroying gameplay, and today we have thirty! From popular titles like Star Wars and Lord of The Rings to zany concepts like Plants Vs. Zombies, this collection has a tower defense game for everyone!

What Are Tower Defense Games?

On the off chance that you’re new to this genre, tower defense games allow players to strategically position points of defense (typically towers) that automatically fend off hordes of oncoming enemies.
The trick is to decide where to place your towers for maximum impact and how to use your resources wisely to upgrade each tower to best face the challenges ahead. The concept is simple enough to pick up in a minute and complex enough that it can take days or even weeks to master!

In Story Mode, play through 18 levels set in 7 unique 3D environments with story elements based on all three films in the trilogy. Or opt for Challenge Mode, where you’ll face endless waves of attackers until you’ve run out of Battle Hit Points. ”
