    One of the best games I've ever played, just a little patience at the beginning to learn the numerous possibilities to win and you get addicted. Love the upgrades, love the range of playability and even add to that 4 difficulties to choose and challenge yourself and friends :) Thank you so much for creating such an awesome game.

    A brilliant game. Tower defence games are difficult to pull off, but this one works really well, graphics are good and the gameplay is superb.
    The game is quite challenging, but in a good way, as it rewards your hard work as you get upgrades etc as you progress.

    Defense Grid 2 is a good solid tower defense game. However, it offers a little improvement from Defense Grid 1 .

    Let's see pros and cons Pros - Still Good addicted tower defense game. Probably the best tower defense game in market (if not DG1) - Tower upgraded cards (new in DG2), add huge replayability of the game. - Cooldown skills (new in DG2) - Though I personally don't like    Defense Grid 2 is a good solid tower defense game. However, it offers a little improvement from Defense Grid 1 .

    Let's see pros and cons

    Pros
    - Still Good addicted tower defense game. Probably the best tower defense game in market (if not DG1)
    - Tower upgraded cards (new in DG2), add huge replayability of the game.
    - Cooldown skills (new in DG2) - Though I personally don't like this feature.
    - Boost (new) - allow designated tower to be able to fire from higher ground

    Cons
    - Outdated graphic ( I don't see any significant improvement from DG1 to DG2)
    - Tower Imbalance [ Concussion is clearly superior to Inferno, and Disruptor makes Tesla obsoleted]
    - Still very few towers and same number to DG1
    - Leaderboard cannot sort difficulties
    - Uninteresting story
    - Removing of air enemies (why ?)

    In brief, DG2 is still a fun tower defense game, but for those who have play DG1, you may be disappointed because DG2 is feel more like an expansion of DG1, rather than fresh new game. For new comers, I suggest you buy DG1 Awakening first in PC, the price is very cheap and difficulty is friendly to new comers (DG2 is a bit spike). If you like DG1 and urge for more, then DG2, but don't have high hope.    … Expand

    Best strategy Tower Defense game there is. I own a bunch but this is the one I play. I like how u don't have to start over if u made a mistake a few missions back- u just hit the back button for each mission and there u are. Its real easy to learn this game. Fairly easy to get a Gold Medal- unless u are playing in Hard or Elite mode, then good luck. Also there are over 200 additionalBest strategy Tower Defense game there is.

Some of the players learned how to make maps and now we get about 3-4 new maps a month. The new maps are much more interesting (flying enemies and trains for example) then some of the original game maps and you'll need the skill u acquired to survive some of these. Most replayable game I've had.… Expand

    Has some good classic vibes. The story doesn't take itself seriously - at all - and the cringe is kind of charming at times. A fun mindless game.

    Tower wars, reminds me of warcraft 3 custom games mode. It's a really fun game to play, it seems to be laggy on the ps4 as during later levels the fps really drop below anything acceptable. Really short game, but it's fun.

    For what it is, it is a great, fun game. Defend your base with a grid format: Oh, did the title give that away... Only thing I want is an extra time variation

    With its massive amount of modes and options its content is worth the asking price.

    An enjoyable but traditional outing capable of short-term thrills, which is just enough for some. [Dec 2014, p.87]

    Defense Grid 2 is an enjoyable return to Hidden Path’s dystopian future, though whilst the sequel features a number of improvements some key features of the original, in particular the engaging story, have been lost along the way.
