Defenders of Ardania (DoA) is a next-generation tower defense game set in the rich fantasy world of Majesty, but with a twist. Besides the addictive core mechanics of placing towers to stop advancing enemy units, DoA also allows players to take on the role of the attackers seeking to conquer the enemy base.

Defenders of Ardania (DoA) is a next-generation tower defense game set in the rich fantasy world of Majesty, but with a twist. Besides the addictive core mechanics of placing towers to stop advancing enemy units, DoA also allows players to take on the role of the attackers seeking to conquer the enemy base. DoA’s innovative new game concepts include light RTS elements, taking the popular genre to the next level. Players must oversee unit production and upgrades while assembling the most effective army from one of three playable races, each with unique locations, towers, and units. However, without magic, a fantasy game is little more than a toothless lion (or dragon, rather), so a wide range of spells will be available for players to decimate their enemies and protect their forces. Although DoA includes a single-player portion, the focus of the game is undoubtedly multiplayer, where two to four players can take each other on or compete against AI opponents via Internet, LAN, or PSN. The multiplayer component offers three different game modes where players can assume either the defensive or offensive sides – or both! Less

Falling behind in optimization

A game that brings both tower offense/defense mechanics to the table should be an interesting concept, like some TD games do. There is diversity in spells and units that you send out to achieve objectives and destroy your opponent's base and it can take as little as 5 minutes to finish the initial levels. Sadly, there is a lack of optimization that would have done the game more justice and playing with low frame rate and flickering screen, not to mention that the screen resolution changing doesn't work, could only take me a few levels until I checked this off my backlog. You're better of playing other TD games that are more stable and entertaining.
