  • Summary: Knight Defense combines action and strategy in a dynamic re-imagining of the tower defense genre. It's bold, intelligent, challenging & fun.

    There's no other game quite like it - think tower defense (with movable towers) + glow graphics + lots of explosions + chess pieces.

    If you have a shiny new iPhone 4, the game takes full advantage of the HD Retina Display.

    Gameplay:
    - Defeat all waves of enemies without losing your King.
    - Your pieces fire at enemies in distinct patterns reminiscent of chess pieces. Each time a piece fires in a particular direction there is a short delay before it can fire again in that direction.
    - If an enemy hits one of your pieces it explodes and damages that piece (and sometimes the pieces around it).
    - Combos: destroy multiple enemies at once to greatly increase your score.
    - Each of your pieces can be upgraded 7 times, increasing health and attack, as well as healing the piece back to full health and allowing it to fire immediately in all available directions.
    - Each piece has a unique special ability with a cooldown before it can be used again. Eg. making nearby pieces fire twice as fast or healing nearby pieces.
    - Enemies vary in health, speed and attack power.
    - Enemies home towards your King, so where you position him determines their movement.
    - Pieces can protect each other, reducing the damage they take.
    - Tap the skip button make the next wave arrive immediately.

    Features:
    - Move and upgrade your forces in real-time to defeat the waves of enemies determined to destroy your king.
    - Each level is a hand-crafted scenario with many different ways to win.
    - The levels are divided into easy, medium and hard difficulties. Can you beat the hard levels?
    - Unlock achievements and rocket to the top of the global leader boards with OpenFeint!
    - Free updates to come - more levels and achievements.
    - Resume exactly where you left off when you restart the app.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Knight Defense because of its spectacular handling of this genre fusion and its clever chess piece powers. The game could make use of some different terrain rather than just a simple chess board, but this is Chess… hard to complain about accurate re-imaginings.

    It's great fun. There's a ranking up system to make each piece stronger the more points you have, just as you'd expect from a Tower Defense title and the array of difficulties and levels ensures that there's plenty to do.
