    The long awaited sequel to Defense Grid: The Awakening is here, in all it's tower defense glory. With a lengthy and fun campaign, and with the new addition of multiplayer, you will always want to come back and play more.

    This game is entertaining and addictive. The graphics are simply gorgeous. There are some challenging parts to the game, but it will leave you thinking and re-engaging to try another strategy later on. The story is interesting, and the voice acting can be a bit cartoon-ish at times, but nothing to leave the player annoyed. Overall, great game, lots of features and strategy involved!

    Le premier était intéressant et avait le mérite de poser les bases de cette idée simple de défense de ... bases. Hélas, la jouabilité merdoyait sur les tourelles boost que la vermine xénomorphe contournait quand ça lui chantait et la difficulté était rapidement problématique et rhédibitoire.

    Pour cette suite, le développeur a réfléchi (ce qui est rare dans le monde indé), repensé les boosts de façon logique et ajouté des niveaux de difficulté, car dans un jeu de ce type qui s'articule uniquement sur la construction de tourelles automatiques, l'essentiel n'est pas de participer mais de massacrer les hordes aliens et les masses d'envahisseurs venues d'ailleurs.

    D'une belle interface, on gère la défense avec allégresse : un joyeux foutoir et un défouloir des plus hilarants avec en plus (!) des graphismes assez convaincants et même... certains ralentissements vu le bordel à l'écran (dommage !).

    Le jeu est entièrement en français, y compris les voix de nos doubleurs habituels et reconnus dont le talent n'est plus à démontrer (un très bon point). L'occasion de découvrir un semblant de scénario (!) un semblant seulement dans lequel quelques IA un peu bugguées se disputent et parlent de framboises (sic).

    Forcément avec les jeux simples fondés sur une seule idée, une lassitude non négligeable peut s'installer, car malgré toutes les sortes de tourelles disponibles qui sont autant de moyens d'annihiler la migration incontrôlée, Defense Grid 2 reste assez répétitif. Ce qui n'empêche pas d'y revenir de temps en temps... car Conan, oui Conan le barbare approuve ce jeu brutal.    … Expand

    Defense grid 2 is a fun game. It's strategy like gameplay feels right and new to me. And while the single player story isn't really that good, it's rising difficulty made me rethink my strategy which was a fun challenge that made me replay it more. The multiplayer is ok, but it's not for me. Overall, if you want a simple defense tower game, this is for you.

    Amazing single player gameplay, very much like the other one with extra's to make it feel fresh.

    As for multilayer on the xbox one it's a joke, unable to join games and any games started resulting in DC after ~10 second. If you are playing this for single player or couch coop and like tower defence games it's great, if you liked defence grid 1 it's great. But if you are like me and    Amazing single player gameplay, very much like the other one with extra's to make it feel fresh.

But if you are like me and wanted a vs strategy for the xbox one that wasn't a moba don't get it. You can't play online( tested only on xbox one ) . 10/10 singleplayer but if you bought / buying it for multilayer vs don't it's broken .    … Expand

    Se você gosta do gênero, vale a pena. A direção de arte é boa, e gameplay é bem evolutiva, e as missões são desafiadoras.

    A technically competent and pretty tower defense game with a couple of fresh ideas. [Nov 2014]

    There are plenty of challenges. [Issue#117, p.84]

    A game that feels both very new and very old at the same time. [Dec 2014, p.87]
