    This game is technically a tower defense game but you are limited to placing units on pre-defined "sockets". All the boards are very small and number of unit types per level are small even if they slowly add new units (that don't act very different) throughout the campaign. Most of the creative thinking in a typical tower defense game is gone here so it is mostly just a mindless tappingThis game is technically a tower defense game but you are limited to placing units on pre-defined "sockets". All the boards are very small and number of unit types per level are small even if they slowly add new units (that don't act very different) throughout the campaign. Most of the creative thinking in a typical tower defense game is gone here so it is mostly just a mindless tapping game. Yes if you are going to play this you should do it on Vita because it is clearly meant for a touch screen. Takes forever to get to even semi-interesting levels and it really babies you in tutorials. Maybe if you are looking for something completely mindless to play it could be your bag because it does run well, has lots of levels, and controls great with touch controls. I think I rather go the other way and continue to hurt my brain with Frozen Synapse Prime instead.… Expand

    A simple and fun game for a while, missions are simple and gameplay mechanics easy to learn.

That simplicity however ends up being the game's biggest downfall as despite the story taking you from one planet to another both the atmosphere and missions remain nearly unchanged and leave you with a very repetitive experience. The game tries to make up for its repetitiveness by giving you secondary objectives in addition to your primary objective, which usually is along the lines on protect thing X. Said secondary objectives usually consist of making sure protected thing X takes no damage, and when you combine that with levels in which a group of enemies spawns literally next to the thing you're meant to protect completionists will find this game a very anger-inducing experience. Level design is generally somewhere between alright and poor, worst offenders being levels in which an enemy missile will approximately 1/5 times hit your refinery early on and there is nothing you can do about it. Overall the game is a relatively fun for a while, however on the later stages when the completion of secondary objectives often comes down to luck and the game tries to make up for its simple game mechanics by having a load of enemies spawn inside your base a lot of players will probably find themselves frustrated .… Expand

    I like tower defence games, casual and fast games on the vita, this is a good game, but that's just it. It's simple and straight-forward. You don't have much freedom to place whatever you want where you want. The trophies are also really simple and the game is short and not that much challenging. There is barely no story, it's just something like "We're being attacked by aliens let's buildI like tower defence games, casual and fast games on the vita, this is a good game, but that's just it.

There is barely no story, it's just something like "We're being attacked by aliens let's build towers, defend ourselves and blow up their planet!" without any main or secondary character. I didn't had great hopes on this game, since I just played it because I got it for free on PS Plus.
    If you like tower defense, I would recommend PixelJunk Monsters.    … Expand

    For what it's worth, Final Horizon is a competent RTS with tons of levels and challenges, but at some point it ends relying a bit too much on random factors for the genre it represents.

    It's a very easy to play and immediate tower defense game, and that makes it more enjoyable on PS Vita than it actually is on PS4. On the other hand, it doesn't bring anything really new to the genre.

    If you love Tower Defence titles then it's a no brainer. Great design, very addictive and the score challenge mode will have you playing for ages.
