Why we picked this?

An inter-dimensional rift has been opened in order to bring odd creatures to Earth and provide out of work soldiers with something to do. Defend your post by placing powerful towers in strategic positions, and command squads of heroes to clean up what’s left. After each battle, you’ll be able to level up your heroes and unlock devastating new weapons. The game also includes some snazzy graphics, which allow you to cover the battlefield in giblets.

The blend of tower defense and real-time strategy gameplay elements is absolutely perfect. Gamers of all kinds will certainly enjoy this one.

It can be difficult at times, and if you lack the ability to complete levels in an efficient manner, you’re going to have to turn to in-app purchases.
