Mugshot Games originally released CastleMine some time ago and that game has done quite well for itself, gathering over 2 million downloads so far across all platforms. Well the developers have been busy working on a follow-up to CastleMine, called Digfender, and it looks like it is almost ready for launch.
[UPDATE: Wednesday, November 18th – 9:30 PM, PST] The uniquely styled tower defense game Digfender is now available to download in the Google Play Store. We love the visual style of this game and have already hit the install button to check it out. The game is free to play and does include optional in-app purchases. The link to download the game can be found at the end of this article.
So what is Digfender? This particular game is a rather unique style of tower defense game that takes place deep underground. Players will need to hunt for resources underneath their castle while battling monsters rising up from below. Since this is underground, and you need to hunt for your resources there as well, players will need to carefully plan their routes to those resources without making it easier for the monsters to get to your castle. So yes, you will be digging.
My hope when designing Digfender was to provide a fun and accessible experience for all players while also providing new layers of strategy and surprises for tower defense veterans. – Mugshot Games’ founder Steve Yap
However, do you need to get those resources. If you don’t, you won’t be able to properly defend yourself against those monsters coming up underneath your castle. This will be a free-to-play game when it launches, with optional IAPs as well. The developers have said that these IAPs are completely optional and the game was developed without any paywalls or wait-timers either. We will post an update once this game launches onto Android on November 5th.
