What players say

I thought Rock 'N' Roll Defense was going to be another simple tower defense game where I place some towers, watch enemies walk into them, and eventually get bored. I was wrong. The graphics are simple. The concept is familiar. You build defenses, stop waves of enemies, and try not to let everything fall apart. But somehow, it makes that formula ridiculously entertaining. There's something satisfying about setting...
LachamRecommendedafter 4.7h1 found this helpfulRead on Steam
A standard tower defense game wrapped in a heavy metal skin with an awesome soundtrack. It plays it completely safe mechanically, offering very little strategy beyond dropping speakers and upgrading them. Fine for a quick, brain-off session, but deeply repetitive for genre fans.
