If there's one thing Catcha Prince does well, it's mixing up the Tower Defense genre. The basic Tower Defense elements are there but alongside that is a thoroughly different game.
It makes for a much more involving experience. Instead of the player simply setting up their defenses and sitting back to an extent, a hands on approach is greatly needed. Catcha Prince isn't the easiest of games either making for a reasonable challenge although gradually upgrading equipment certainly helps. Boss fights occur after 5 stages which add a considerable but satisfying challenge. Besides this typical gameplay, Catcha Prince also offers extra stages such as a 'Whack a Mole' type of stage which breaks up the mission types appropriately. Visuals are also attractive, providing a 16 bit vibe that's simple but effective.
Catcha Prince takes a little adjustment being neither a pure Tower Defense game nor a shoot em up but it's worth a shot. It's rough and ready and quite quirky, but it's also a brave move. Catcha Prince might be a little expensive at $1.99 considering what's available in the genre at half the price but there is enough here to warrant the cost.
