    There’s plenty of fun in all the chaos, but it is, perhaps, a little too much going on at once. There’s quite a steep learning curve to this mix of genres and it’s more free-form and loose than other tower defense games, lacking the chess-like satisfaction of rigid grid-based maps. The story is minimal, merely a framework for the action, but the game looks great and runs smoothly on the Switch. It’s certainly solid enough to entertain for a good few hours.

    X Morph: Defense is a solid, fun title that is more akin to a time sink than a classic/must play title. It doesn’t do anything inherently bad, and provides a large amount of content even before you realize there is DLC available. Yet even with few major faults, it doesn’t do enough to elevate it into the next stratosphere of gaming. If you’re in the market for a fun game just to pass the time, X Morph Defense is definitely a title that I would recommend.

    X-Morph: Defense is more fun than it probably has a right to be and worth the investment for those even slightly interested in tower defense and twin-stick shooters. The Switch version isn't the superior port but really only suffers from some minor control annoyances.

    X-Morph: Defense is a game that manages to translate in a satisfactory way to the Nintendo Switch, bringing the clash between the forces of Aliens and the people of Earth on the go. It should be noted, though, that this version of the game does not offer something new to old players, as it lacks features that enforce replayability and faces problems that result from poor development. X-Morph: Defense is a diamond for the Switch, only rough and unrefined.

    Loved this game, and that's coming from someone thoroughly bored of other tower defense games. My favourite part, and what initially sold meLoved this game, and that's coming from someone thoroughly bored of other tower defense games. My favourite part, and what initially sold me on the game: destructible terrain! Can lag a tiny bit when playing survival mode and the screen fills with enemies, but that doesn't ruin anything. This game looks great, runs great, and is just plain fun, allowing you to use your reflexes but also creative thinking to optimize enemy routes and squeeze the most out of your towers.

    This game goes on sale regularly, highly recommend you get the complete edition as the base game feels pretty easy on Normal by the end, and the DLC levels add some new unit types that make you react differently.    … Full Review »
