I’m sure by now you know that your iPhone is a veritable gateway to a wide world of Tower Defense games; a smorgasbord the likes of which you could never hope to tackle in its entirety. Fantasy Defense stands out as a particularly good one, taking the formula you know and love and jazzing it up with an involved upgrading system. Throw in a ton of class-based units, a few of which can be equipped with gear, and you’ve got yourself a rock-solid game that’s fun to play and hard to put down.

What Fantasy Defense lacks in witty title, it makes up for in longevity and variety. You can spend your hard earned “hero points” on equipment for your champions or permanent augments for your towers. You can rack up hero points by successfully winning on maps or, you guessed it, by forking out a little bit of actual cash in exchange for a small fortune of them. I never stooped to that extreme; thankfully Fantasy Defense is designed so that it never feels necessary. The challenge is legit.

I would be remiss if I neglected to mention Fantasy Defense’s heavy use of mammoth, cartoon breasts. The anime style is a nice aesthetic, sure, but the game’s flagrant dismissal of reasonable proportions is comedic. We’re talking balloons, people. Shiny and ready to pop. Every single female. Monster tits. Whatever, the game is awesome. Also, gargantuan chesticles. Okay, I’m done being four now.
