Star Wars Galactic Defense Coming Soon: Play It, You Will.

I’ve been on this big tower defense game kick of late and have downloaded a number of the games looking for one that I really like. I’ve popped balloons and fought off aliens, but so far, nothing has really caught my attention for long. A new game has been announced as coming soon to Android and iOS called Star Wars Galactic Defense.

Anything with Star Wars gets my attention, so I am rather excited about this one. You can play as the Dark Side or Light Side of the Force, and there are a bunch of rewards and upgrades for your defenses. One of those rewards is Darth Maul.

Clearly, that would be a Dark Side reward. The game is a free download, or at least will be when it launches. You can bet in-game purchases will be offered as well. The launch date is a mystery right now, but you can sign up on the game’s official website to be alerted when it’s available.

Metal Slug Defense Reminds Us of the Gaming Days of Yore

Back in the day every time I went to the mall, I ended up standing in the game store playing the Neo Geo and scheming of ways to get the huge money that system cost. Sadly, I never got the cash scratched together before the console went out of production. If you always wanted a Neo Geo and never got one, this new mobile game is for you.

The game is called Metal Slug Defense and it is based on one of the coolest games from the NeoGeo, Metal Slug. The mobile game has the same pixelated graphics as the game had on the Neo Geo and has 100 of the backgrounds from that game.

Rather than a 2D shooter, this is a tower defense/strategy title. It is free to play and is supported by in-app purchases. The game has over 60 characters and units that can be upgraded as the game progresses. Weapons can also be upgraded as well.

Metal Slug Defense is available now on iOS and Android.
