Element Tower Defense

Element Tower Defense

Aside from Defense of the Ancients All-Stars, Tower Defense games such as Element Tower Defense have been quite popular in Garena. Tons of Garena players are still playing Warcraft not because of its long-term support thru patches but because of custom-made maps. And in this article, we feature a bit of trivia about Element Tower Defense - a Warcraft custom-made map.

Unlike DoTA wherein multiplayer is required (well, for now IceFrog's also keeping the map with AI available at getdota.com) and a series of complex item building, strategy between players and attracts attention because of the competitive level, you can play this map by simply creating a game, choosing the map and voila you can actually play it by yourself.

Although I have just played it thrice in Garena along with my friends, it is quite a stress-free game with only one purpose - defend yourself by creating towers. There are six elements in which the gameplay revolves into - Fire, Nature, Earth, Wind, Light and Darkness. At first, there are the basic towers - Arrow and Cannon to help you defend from mediocre enemies. Then, after every 5 levels, a lumber is rewarded to you. In this way, you can summon an enemy with a particular elemental type you have to defend to. Successfully killing it would automatically lend their powers to you. There are five levels for each type of elements. After you've successfully defended yourself from the first level, you will automatically be able to summon the next level elemental - assuming you have a lumber available.

The gameplay reaches its peek when you have successfully defended yourself from 60 waves of creeps plus the elementals you've summoned. Once at level 60, guess who you'll be defending yourself from? Ronald McDonald! The game goes on until you have ran out of lives from defending yourself. In actuality, Ronald will keep on getting stronger until you can't defend yourself from him anymore.

Multiplayer

Basically, there are eight slots available for the multiplayer mode. In this mode, players just have to successfully defend themselves. Once their lives are over, the winner will be determined by the number of kills he had from his tower defense.
