〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? 〰️〰️〰️

Unlike many games today, this game is not supported by advertising. One purchases the game and can play the game for as long as desired. While each player will try different strategies and tower setups, the experience otherwise is the same.

〰️〰️〰️ Is there any objectionable material in Defense Grid? 〰️〰️〰️

I'm sure someone somewhere may object to the massacre of insects or the transfer of a personality into a computer or some other far fetched idea.

But for most otherwise normal people, there is no objectionable material in this game.

〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? 〰️〰️〰️

Defense Grid will appeal to those players who prefer a more tactical and strategic kind of game.
Defense Grid can be challenging. Some achievements can be frustrating to obtain but the story mode is not going to frustrate many players.
Being a purchased game, there is no incentive to create levels or make current levels longer just to keep players in the game. As such, there is no grind in this game.

〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid playable on a mobile device? 〰️〰️〰️

Defense Grid is made for the Personal Computer and some gaming consoles. While it may be possible to play Defense Grid in an emulated environment on a mobile device, this game is not designed as such.

〰️〰️〰️ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? 〰️〰️〰️

As Defense Grid is a game one purchases, there is no need for in-game advertisements.

〰️〰️〰️ What is the story in Defense Grid? 〰️〰️〰️

The story is based on alien invasion of a planet that has a dormant defense grid. As the player is re-activating the defense system with the assistance of a computer to control the machinery and with only limited resources, the aliens attempt to steal power cores. Power cores are "tiny floating orbs" that provide vital power to the defense grid. Cores are carried by aliens, and when the aliens carrying them die, the cores are dropped, and will slowly float back to their central holder. Once all power cores have been taken from the level, the game is over. Only one power core needs to remain when the last wave of aliens are defeated to complete a level.

〰️〰️〰️ Is this a commitment game or a casual game? 〰️〰️〰️

As with any game one purchases, there is a commitment factor to it. After all, why pay for a game and not play it?

That said, Defense Grid is more a casual game with levels lasting no more than 10-15 minutes.

〰️〰️〰️ What is this video about? 〰️〰️〰️

This video captures the story mode difficulty of the Awakening Story line. The Awakening story line is more a tutorial with more challenging levels played later.

〰️〰️〰️ Anything else we should know? 〰️〰️〰️

Defense Grid is a nice casual tower defense game. If you are a fan of Tower Defense games, give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed.
