What Makes Epic Defense TD – the Elements Stand Out
The most worth waiting killer-level TD /Defense game in 2013.
FREE to download!! No locked function!!!
The story happened in an ancient and remote world. It is a chaotic era before the disappearance of the ancient magic power.
Terran had established regulations for this ancient world, but Orcs had been eyeing on Terran’s civilized cities for long. They were ready to break the peace of the world.
Finally, Orcs started war to Terran and quickly seized an advantage. Terran retreated step by step, and was eventually forced to hide in their castle.
At this critical moment, Terran’s magicians found the secret of the Power of Elements on an ancient statute book, which can be used to reinforce the Guard Tower and fight against Orcs. The Power of Elements can even call supernormal powers, such as volcano, lightning, iceberg…
The counterattack was about to start!

Community Insight:
Can you add enemies in the help screen please.
It's A good game, you just have to give it a chance.
Have enjoyed this game a lot. Love the variety of defenses that one can devise…But have finally beaten every level on the hardest setting. When will more levels be added? If this keeps crashing for you, your OS is probably outdated on your device. We have not had problems sine got a newer device.
Finally for the iPad. We loved playing this game on our Droid. Its interesting and challenging. It takes knowing what towers do what and building the right one.
This is what we look for in a TD game. Very good. Better than 2.
Fun would like to click and drag icons of the towers opposed to four steps to make one tower.
We like for it to have more upgrade options like increases in range and fire rate and overall power. Like an evolving tower that depending on which stone you put in it does differently but looks the same.
Fun game with lots of potential. Maybe allow towers to be upgraded past the 3 crystals.
Great play. Needs more descriptive info on update screen. Please move the zoom buttons. Interferes with pick up. Otherwise a great game. Still gets five stars.
Great game! Lots of fun!! Love the upgrades. Makes the game even better.
The best TD game in the app store hands down..challenging and fun.
Great tower defense game. Need more info on towers.
Great game, need more info on towers. Other than that, it's great game to play for hours on end.
It's a little bit hard if you go further when you don't money… But we still like it.
The app would be better if there was an easy way to tell what tower would be made by which combo, and a way to tell what the powers of the towers that are already made. At the least, leaving the crystals that made the tower visible so it is easy to see what combos you have already used.
A little bit confuse about how the towers work.
It's a good game and we like figuring out what the different towers do but some more info would be good. It would also be good to be able to upgrade the 3 gem towers.
We really like this game it has awesome towers but would like to see better graphics with the background and monsters.
Deberan incluir ms fcil acceso a la explicacin de que hace cada torre.
Took a while to start knowing what tower we were building, but figuring it out is fun and none feel underpowered. Great game so far.
Sweet game towers have great graphics like to see better graphics for background and monsters.
Good game. Would like to see towers further upgradable thru the use of additional gems on towers.
Solid tower defense game, missing a lot of descriptions and can get pretty stale with limited tower options.
It is v. Good game…up to now.
Nice and fun. Wish it had info on the towers and stats-wise.
Good. Select towers. Upgrades are long term using game currency.
This is the best tower defense game!, it has brought many hours of fun to us.
Great sound track. Needs not to be so dependent on in app purchases. Otherwise it can be addictive.
Really good tower defense game.
If you like TD games, this is a very solid choice and gives you many elemental gems to configure various Towers, depending on how you mix 3 gems to configure over 12 Towers! You gain power-up points to increase the power and range of each tower, depending on how well you do in each stage. Very good for those that know how to configure the elements to defeat several different types of enemies trying to break through and attack your Fortress. Makes you THINK! Large wing-span birds are getting hard to Kill! Must be a correct configured towered to take them down.
Really addicted to this game n im loving it.
It's a great game as far as tower defenses go, but it could use a couple of tooltips and such for towers.
Challenging but nonetheless fun.
Don't quit just help get more ups like more money an some units are hard to kill give hints.
Pretty nice style and intuitive. Kinda wish we could see the abilities of the less obvious ones. Te death knells start to get annoying though.
Game is fun and easy to play, but takes some grinding if you don't want to pay money. We don't mind grinding. Explanation of towers and upgrades is not really included, google will be your friend. As a note: auto pick picks up coins and gems for towers without you having to tap on them.
Fun game good way to waste time.
Nicely designed and easy to play. Almost impossible to get beyond level 6 even if you do make an IAP. Game does not remember progress or scores achieved.
It would be nice to get past level six without dumping cash in, but perhaps that's the catch. In any case, a good "combining" td game – think along the lines of Gemcraft. There's no documentation/help in terms of "enemy x is strong against y", so your on your own to figure out what works best. It's enjoyable, though.
This app is very good ,the images are fine and smooth.
Nice attempt at the defense games. We enjoyed it.
Combine gems is a good idea for a TD game, interesting.
But need some improvement for IPad.
There are three things that really frustrate us about this game: 1) you get the whole game all at once. No build up, no plot, no purpose to leveling up 2) no tutorial, just jump right in, both feet, good luck! 3) way too much reliance on IAPs. A well thought out game would be "fun, more fun, even more fun, okay, we'll gladly pay for more!". See, get your players to become fans, and they will gladly pay real cash to increase the enjoyment. We could be mistaken here, but it really seems that this was a game created for the sole purpose of making money, no real thought was given to the fun aspect. That's too bad, because this really is a brilliant idea, but games like this one bug us the most, because, like this one, they have real potential, but squander it on the $$$ aspect, instead of giving the game a heart, eg., see Plants vs Zombies, Angry Zombies, Slingo, the Build-a-Lot series, Legendary Wars, Fairway Solitaire, Kingdom Rush, The Creeps!, Vikings Can Fly, all games with heart, some with IAPs, but the games are still great without them, yet we've used the IAPs with no hesitation, simply because the games were already so good, we wanted to enhance the experience, and continue playing them as long as possible. And most of these games we go back to again and again, because they keep on giving. Devs, that's where the big money is, in the devoted fans. Think about it, please. Your game has such a brilliant premise. Give it, and us, the attention it we deserve. 'Nuff said. Duke out.
