Defend your home base from hordes of attackers with HexDefense. HexDefense combines gorgeous special effects with classic “open field” tower defense gameplay. Engagingly simple yet deeply challenging, HexDefense provides countless hours of pyrotechnic arcade action.
Easy to Learn, Difficult to Master
The gameplay of HexDefense will be familiar to lovers of tower defense games. Your enemy spawns wave after wave of attackers that storm towards your base, and you place weaponized towers in their path, hoping to destroy them before they destroy you. The battlefield is laid out in a hexagonal grid, and because of the open field nature of the game there is a strong element of strategy to how you array your towers.
Deploy Your Arsenal
You are armed with four different types of towers, each with four available power-ups. Each tower has individual strengths and weakenesses that make it more or less effective against different types of attackers. The Minigun is the least expensive weapon and targets one enemy at at time. The laser fires a high-powered enemy beam that can shoot through multiple opponents at once. The Rocket launches heat seeking projectiles that pack a powerful payload. Lastly, the Shockwave sends out sonic pulses that damage all enemies in all directions.
The more powerful the tower the more it will cost you. You earn cash by destroying bad guys, which funds your ability to manufacture additional military might. Choose wisely when setting up your towers–the wrong selection can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Bring on the Flood
Attackers come in many shapes and forms… some are fast but lightly armored, while others are slow but hard to kill. There are also four types of Boss Creeps, each of which is impervious to one type of weapon. Additionally, there are special tiles on some of the levels that add an extra dimension to the game. These include Directional Tiles, which force the creeps to move a certain way, and Sludge Tiles, that slow down the Creeps and make them easy targets.
Watch the Fireworks
HexDefense uses every ounce of graphics power your phone can muster, with vibrant OpenGL-based graphics and dazzling particle effects. Shimmering lazer beams, flaming rockets, and blinding explosions fill the screen with eye candy. Slick animations and 3D stereo sound round out the package. Take note that if you have an older Android phone, you will want to try out the free version of HexDefense to make sure the game will run smoothly on your phone before you buy the full version. You can also lower the graphics requirement by unchecking the “Intense Graphics” option in the settings menu.
