Bored With a Phone: Medieval Castle Defense

We've all been there. Some dude keeps rambling on about something you don't care about.
Or your riding the bus, and you checked facebook 10 minutes ago in class.
Maybe you're at some event and you've got to hang around for 3 more freaking hours and all the people there are weird as hell.

The bottom line is you're bored. And you have a phone on you.
That's why I'm creating the "Bored With a Phone" reviews. It's not really hard to find a game to pass the time if you're an Iphone or Android user, it can be hard to find a game worth playing for more than a few minutes though. Especially if your a broke college student who is no way in hell gonna pay $.99 for a steaming pile of crap app.

So without further ado: Medieval Castle Defense

This game is pretty chill. Basically these little dudes walk toward your castle and try to mess your shit up. You build some cannons that shoot at them as they walk toward you. If you wanna get fancy it's called a tower defense style game. If you survive all 10 waves or so whoopee, your on to the next level. As far as I can tell there's 8 worlds with about 5 levels per world. I've been playing it for a week or so and beat 3 worlds, so it will keep you entertained when stuff is boring for about 2 weeks or so.

 
For a free phone game, its got a pretty good range of little dudes and towers. You get 8 different towers I'm guessing, and they all do different stuff. Some attack a lot of people, some attack one person, some slow people down, and some just striaght fuck with em. You can upgrade the towers to do more damage, hit more people, get better range, etc. The bad peeps will attack with various villagers, soldiers, tanks, weird shaman guys, and WTF how am I supposed to kill that boss peoples.


The levels are fairly straight forward, the people march along a preset path and don't pull any tricky shit. After a while the game throws in multiple roads to mess with you, but it's no biggie. The simpleness makes it hard sometimes though, especially when the game doesn't give you enough money. The only way to get more money is to kill people so if everyone's running up and wailing on your castle things go downhill pretty fast. I've found the best way to go is to put the shotgun-style shoot at everyone towers where the bad dudes spawn, and put the single shot towers down the road.


All in all it's a chill game and its free so that's good too. It's only out on Android right now, but everything gets ported between Iphone and Android in a month or so anyway. Here's a link to it in the marketplace
