Defense Zone 2 HD Lite – Strategy Game Review
![]()
Defense Zone 2 HD Lite is a Strategy/Action game from Artem Kotov, first launched in 23rd October 2012.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 31+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Defense Zone 2 HD Lite Stand Out
The new, engaging levels are even more stunning and impressive. New weapons have been added, along with new opponents, and even more action and tactics.
The game supports four languages: English, Russian, French and German.
The game settings are balanced to meet the goals of different players. If you want to test your skills and strategy, you can play the difficult level. If you are just playing for fun, then choose easy or medium level.
Greater variety of weaponry and landscape types gives you huge freedom in choosing your battle tactics. Choose the right weapon type and position to make sure your defense is effective. Airstrikes and the possibility of temporarily increasing weapon power can give you the advantage, and guarantee you will never get bored in the battle process.
In the light version is available only 3 levels.
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Simply the best tower defense game on a mobile device imho.
We used to play this game when we were a kid back in 2013. We just revisited the game and its still as fun as we remember.
Love defense zone games. Started playing when freeware on PC in the 90s. But this version does not play well on our iPad. Double tapping a tower can instantly restart the game and dumps all progress.
Is there more levels for this game if how do we get them we play this game over and over it is so fun.
The levels in this lite version are great! The difficulty of these levels is perfect. The graphics and gameplay are great. Then you buy the full version, and realized you were duped. The difficulty quickly becomes impossible without paying additionally, for premium upgrades, to pass the levels. Greedy and deceptive.
Artem latest update fixed language screen. Thanks! Working great now on iPad 2. :).
Works great on 1st-gen iPad mini, don't know about the other devices.
We had this game on our Microsoft Surface 2 and the fame rate was choppy when the action got intense. We don't know how the designers did it, but this game runs quickly and no frame rate issues. The graphics and various sound tracks are amazing. By the way, this game is $5 at the Microsoft store. It's only $3 here. Great deal.
Good game with high quality sound, music and graphic, but lacks the fun of Field Runner. To get 5 stars it needs a compelling storyline, achievements (motivating ones that mean something), sounds of pain when a unit dies, make stronger weapons available by unlock (it's not as fun if you get it all in the beginning, why should we upgrade from FREE TO PAID? We've seen it all). Enough free advice and good job on first iteration.
