Cross-platform multiplayer tower defense game, Ages of Defenders, gets a big update.
Thursday, 01 December 2011 14:03
Age of Defenders is a cross-platform aggressive tower defense game for Android and PC-based browsers. While you have to defend your base against the enemy using towers, you also have to build units to head up assaults on your opponents base in order to, hopefully, destroy it before they destroy yours.
Your opponents are other players, not computer AI opponents so the strategy and challenge in Age of Defenders is always dynamic. As you make kills in a match you earn cash you can spend on upgrading towers and units or creating new ones of each. For a more in-depth look you can read up on our initial announcement of Age of Defenders coming to Android. The main this we are talking about in this article is the rather large update that has arrived to Age of Defenders.
