Defenders of Suntoria has something that numerous other tower defense games sorely lack: actual new ideas. However, they are kept frustratingly at arm’s length by something other tower defense games have in spades: typical freemium annoyances.
But while these layouts are slightly more interesting than some others in the genre, Defenders of Suntoria's biggest twist is its hero system. In addition to using traps, players can position a hero unit, like an archer or a knight, on the field to unleash powerful attacks on enemies. They can even move around mid-match, which is useful for escaping rogue units that directly go after heroes. However, they are vulnerable to traps as well so be careful. The big, colorful, well-animated heroes are also the most visually impressive part of the game’s otherwise generic 3D fantasy graphics.
Still, there a lot worse takes on tower defense than Defenders of Suntoria. It just might be hard to figure out exactly what your money’s worth.
