    For what its worth Pixel Junk Monsters offers a great deal. From it’s mammoth sized single player mode to added challenges.

    All in all, even though it's an 8-year-old game, PixelJunk Monsters is a welcome addition to the Wii U.

    PixelJunk: Monsters is a fun and accessible tower defense which successfully implements a user friendly difficulty curve and requires a healthy dose of strategic planning to advance. While some of its visual and audio components can become too repetitive over time, its lifespan and overall amusing gameplay will surely please both experienced and newly-arrived players to this style.

    A fun game with plenty of reasons to replay but ultimately one that does little to make it feel different to the legions of tower defense already on the market. Frustratingly it's more fun playing this on the gamepad, and it feels like it would be much better on 3DS. Worth playing for the tower defense aficionados out there, but it would probably be better to play the PS Vita version.
