Description
Things were going well for Azra, the sheltered Royal Librarian. There were books to sort, dust, and put away, important royal documents to transcribe. All this was swept away by the deadly plague that devastated the Kingdom of Ash. The plague killed quickly, so quickly that no one has the time to bury the dead, instead they are thrown, without ceremony, into the Pit. Azra, infected with the plague, is cast into the Pit. Soon, she finds herself in the Half-Way World, the place between life and death and learns of her true power--that of being able to bring anyone into the Half-Way World with her. Now, she must traverse the Pit in the hopes of finding the cause of the plague and must fight to not only save herself but the Kingdom as well.

One of the best defenders game

Really addictive, so many times I wanted to play just 1-2 maps and ended with 8 hours playing. Brilliant, for money real bargain.

Honestly:

I don't always play tower defense games (in fact, I very rarely do), but when I do, it's Defender's Quest!

Deep, satisfying Tower Defense

Defender's Quest is a tower defense game the mixes in some RPG elements--namely, that you can level up your "towers" and outfit them with new equipment--with a big dose of humor. If that description sounds at all appealing to you, then this game executes the formula perfectly. The only criticism I can muster is that there comes a point when you simply need to grind experience/money in order to advance. Still, it scratched my itch for tower defense for a good 30 hours before reaching my threshold for grinding. This included finishing both the standard and "New Game+" modes, although not on the hardest difficulty setting.

Very, very awesome...

Defender's Quest is quality, and the developers are ace. This is one of the few games I replay on occasion. Defender's Quest 2 is on it's way, and is an automatic pre-order from me.
