Games you should buy: Immortal Defense (it’s only $1.75!)

Without a doubt, Immortal Defense is one of the best tower defense games in existence. It addresses two major concerns people tend to have with the genre: lack of a compelling narrative, and boredom caused by passive sit-back-and-watch mechanics.

Very simply put, the story in Immortal Defense revolves around you being the first person from your family’s planet to enter pathspace, a dimension where all other levels of space are represented as lines that ships travel across. Since you can see them but they can’t see you, essentially, you are a god. It’s crazy.

And as for the second issue, while there’s still plenty of defense building and what have you, the mouse cursor actually fires when in close proximity to enemies. It’s a simple concept that goes a long way in making sure you aren’t just sitting there, watching the action unfold.

Anyway, Immortal Defense has gone the pay-whatever route. The minimum is set at $1.75, however, to cover fees associated with online payment and also bandwidth. Alternatively, you could always give the lengthy demo a shot. Either way, I urge you to play this ridiculously cool game.
