    Give it a shot, and if the game gets its hooks into you like it did me, be prepared to spend a lot of time screaming at the TV -- while having fun, of course.
  2. Crystal Defenders is a good game with the advantages of being easy to learn, having lots of of maps and challenging gameplay.On the other hand, the graphics are a bit poor and if you're not in to this type of games it'll soon get a bit boring.

    Its biggest problem, though, is the competition that's already available on the store. [Oct 2009, p.123]

    I liked it, but would rather play Final Fantasy Tactics. Also, more difficultly settings would be nice.

    Not a bad game, but a bit boring if you are not a fan of such a specific genre, which is actually my case. Difficulty grows gradually enoughNot a bad game, but a bit boring if you are not a fan of such a specific genre, which is actually my case. Difficulty grows gradually enough and the general design of the game is attractive, but it is also quite demanding if you want to master all the levels. I guess I just do not like defensive strategy video games. Full Review »
