Tower Defense Meets RTS In OTTTD, Available Now On The App Store
OTTTD, an “over-the-top” tower defense application that also features elements of the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, is now available to download on the App Store for $2.99.
The eccentric application is optimized for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, although it requires at least an iPhone 4s, iPad 2, or fifth-generation iPod touch in order to run. Promising gamers the opportunity to “command heroes, build towers, discover strange and exotic worlds, and blow them all to bits,” here's how developer SMG Studio sums up OTTTD's main features:
- An intense tactical blend of TD and RTS gameplay
- Build and upgrade towers for attack and defense
- Command a squad of heroes
- Go head to head against epic bosses
- Level up heroes, and unlock devastating weapons
We first told you about OTTTD last week, and at the time we noted that a couple of elements set the application apart from the traditional tower defense genre:
the first of these is the app’s inclusion of “hero units.” At any one time, iOS gamers can have up to three of these special units on the game field, allowing users to better execute their defense against wave after wave of enemies.
Below, we've included a trailer for OTTTD, too, which should provide prospective gamers with a better idea of how the app's explosive, over-the-top gameplay works:
