    Great tower defense. It doesn't need to rely on story because the gameplay is satisfying, as well as the feeling that you are a band of decepticons destroying and conquering earth. Believable graphics and great performance.

    Loved 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.

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.    … Expand

    Great game! Had a great time playing. Play on easy mode first so you get the hang of the mechanics and the upgrades. Controls work fine. Love this kind of strategic games. The DLC’s are a good addition to the story.

    Well, it was the first tower defense I ever play and I have a very good experience. The mechanics are interesting and the game, at least with the DLC´s have a interesting grade of replay-ably. I recommend it.

    Great game for nintendo switch. I believe that this genre of "tower defense" is dying, but this game gives hope. Very interesting combat system with very good graphics. I consider this one of the best games in the portable. Stable FPS, a beautiful picture - what else you need for happiness) Good game, recommend it.

    Awesome tower defence games with pretty graphics and cool game mechanics, but arguably, somewhat higher pace compared to similar games. There is so many things happening at once, yet plays without an issue on Switch. I don't know the technical details, its FPS or res, but feels very clean and sharp without any frame drop. Could have been a little more original with unique story to getAwesome tower defence games with pretty graphics and cool game mechanics, but arguably, somewhat higher pace compared to similar games.

Could have been a little more original with unique story to get better score from me, nothing mind-blowing, just pure fun. Regardless, definitely recommended if you like this genre, you won't be disappointed!… Expand

    X-Morph gives the player ample time and information to strategize, and zipping around in the spaceship offers a level of real-time agency uncommon in tower defense games. It feels odd to say, but I’m glad the aliens conquered Earth.

    Folks who like tower defense and twin-stick shooters should enjoy X-Morph: Defense on the Nintendo Switch. The experience offers up a ton of variety and the replayability factor is high. Not to mention the level of planning and strategy required only adds to the enjoyment. And well playing as the bad guy’s rock.

    With little replay value incentives and a campaign that lacks the qualities which make for a compelling experience, it is very hard to recommend this game even with its lower price tag.
