Lair Defense: Dungeon

DroidHen Publisher

Lair Defense definitely gets a gold star to the developers who coded this up. One of the better games that I've played in the first several dozen of game reviews that we've compiled. It requires strategy, planning, active management, and a pretty good set of graphics to boot.

If you are a fan of the book series Eragon (or it's lack luster attempt on the big screen) you will appreciate a game where you are charged with the task of defending the precious few dragon eggs as hordes of invaders who crave an omelet risk and typically forfeit their lives trying to march through your gauntlet of dragon turrets. Red dragons kit hardest, blue hit farthest, green have a damage over time, though I question how effective the latter is.

The power ups you purchase with your gold are a little difficult to track and see the benefit for, so tread lightly when spending your rewards. The best hint I can give is to not think so much about how far your dragon blasts hit when placing them, but rather how many times the baddies will cross into your dragons path.

Recommendation: My personal favorite so far, get it, love it, then go and read the Inheritence Cycle by Christopher Paolini.
