Introduction
Animal Frontiers is a tower defense game. It contains different types of towers in the form of animals and enemies in the form of monsters. As the game progress, players will gain upgrades which will either make their tower better or gain a special skill.
-
Highlight
This is a classic tower defense game with a twist! Towers are separated into two types: water and land. Water and land towers deal different elemental damages to enemies. Each tower has its unique attack. Strategizing tower placement allows players to advance and explore the story.
-
Mechanics
The goal of the game is to prevent the enemies from coming to your base. When your life point is reduced to zero, the game will end. Player uses their mouse to place down towers strategically. To some degree, the player is allowed to modify the level itself by changing the tile from water to land or from land to water. These tiles allow the player to build different towers. The player gains gold for defeating enemies which are used for building more towers.
-
Game Concept
Animal kingdom has been thriving for a long time, but it was not always this way. One bed time story tells of war between the animals and the monsters. The monsters attacked many of the animal villages and the animals had to build towers to defend against the enemies.
-
