I saw that there was a locked thread about Defense games due to there being next to no opening message but this got me thinking a little bit. A considerable amount of the flash games I've played have been defense games and we all know the defense genre is a common one in flash games. I've also noticed that most flash defense games seem to be almost exact copies of each other with the only details changed a lttle bit of story and the artwork. So, here's what I'm wondering;
What flash defense games stand out in a positive or negative way, what ones breathe new life into the genre and/or what ones just make you wish it would go away?
What is so enjoyable about defense games, what makes us play these nearly exact remakes of different games and still be happy with the "new" game?
And, what new ideas does anyone here have to make the genre better, what new ideas could add to this large genre to improve it?
well defense games/upgrade games are the best because you strive 2 get those extra bonuses, but i wanna see someone get out there and make a never ending DEFENSE game... seriuosly.. like never ending upgrades never ending waves, and it has 2 keep you engaged aswell, but i agree with 'TexanProvo' we need some new defense style games.. give it a go, see what happens
One of the best ways of breathing new life into a boring genre is to mix things up a little. Add elements of other genres such as adventure, action, etc. to your defense game and you get something more interesting. Though you have execute it well.
I play different ones because they may be harder than the last deffense game I've played and I like a different story, and art work every now and then who likes the same thing everyday all day?
