The value story

17 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 26 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 276 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. On the same math Rock 'N' Roll Defense ($4.99, scores 72) and Toy Soldiers ($9.99, scores 64) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

All these years later, the FieldRunners series is probably my 2nd favorite tower defense series behind the amazing Defense Grid games. The Fieldrunners series are great fun. Not perfect. Way too much juggling required. But even with that headache, they still manage to be great fun. In some ways I prefer the simplicity of FR1 over FR2, but I do like some of the changes to FR2. Overall, both games in this series are...

Pretty stock-standard tower defence game with a jokesy pseudo-realistic military theme. Originally a mobile game, and it shows -- with an obnoxious level of difficulty, buyable powerups to make levels easier, and a predictably insufficient trickle of the currency required to buy them. Perfectly competent, but not interesting enough to make up for the frustration. 5/10
