About the game

Age of Defense is a tower defense game full of mind-blowing mayhem. There are tons of monsters and tough defenders in the game each of which fits perfectly into a funny cartoonish setting.

The value story

69 discounts in the 7 years on record, a median of 40 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $4.34 at 71 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Value puts it in the top 16 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 70 percent. Kingdom Rush - Tower Defense ($9.99, scores 78) outscores it, and so does Kingdom Rush Frontiers - Tower Defense ($9.99, scores 75). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

While I've enjoyed the game quite a lot, I still can't recommend it. GUI is absolutely horrible and bugs are happening quite often, which led to way too much frustration
GambitNot recommendedafter 20hMar 2026Read on Steam
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Horrible and very boooring game --- There are few tactical options in the game, enemies come in big waves and there are bugs. I don't recommend this game. If you like TD, just play Kingdom Rush or Cursed Treasure 2!
FroloNot recommendedafter 8.2hJul 2025Read on Steam
The game features a satisfying and fairly extensive skill tree, it's great for zoning out, perfect if you're looking for a low maintenance TD game.
