Army of Darkness Defense


Ash is back, armed with his boom stick and chainsaw to reek havoc on the evil 'deadites' as you try and defend the book of the dead. The game caught my Eye being a fan of the original Evil Dead Movies, and I must say, it is very addicting. 

A better-then-normal cinematic intro brings you up to speed on the plot premise, which will be a hoot for any of the movie fans but probably a waste of precious playing time for people not familiar with the plot. In short, undead army is trying to kill you, you have to kill them (again) first. 

There are two modes in the game, leveled and endless, by default, you start with the leveled version and knock off the baddies in low numbers, earning coins that get you power ups and stronger support soldiers all the way to level 50 where a super tough villain emerges to frustrate you. The part of the game is very win-able, which will leave you with the Endless Horde version that will slow your rate of coin collecting but allow you to set new goals for yourself in the way of basic score keeping. 

The Game is truly free, there are only a couple ads at the start up, and spending money to get power ups faster is definitely not needed. So I can recommend this game for the player who wants games to be truly free. Game length is moderate, you can sneak in a quick attempt or two while waiting in line at the bank, but it may take a few warm-up rounds to recall what your strategy was. The graphics have a pretty nice amount of detail, and the special power effects are pretty neat (remember "Clatto, Verata, NECKTIE!"), but the level is the same castle you are defending every time so they can get old pretty quick. I can also report zero bug issues after several hoes of play, so kudos to the team at BackFlip.

Recommendation - Get this game, get addicted to it like mad for two days, and then go back to a mundane life working at S-Mart.
