It’s rated 12+ and currently has 8+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Defense Zone HD Lite Stand Out
Stunning detail of levels, in-depth gameplay, finely tuned balance of all levels and turrets.
During the game you will hold your defence with your turrets against the massive hordes of enemies.
With every level you will have the use of new weapons at your command.
It is up to you, commander, how to spend the resources: restore and upgrade your veteran units or to purchase some new ones.
Different types of weaponry and landscape provide you with a variety of choices of defence tactics.
Choosing the right weapons and the correct placement is key to any successful defence.
The weapons have different firepower, rate of fire, firing range, blast radius and price.
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We love this game and is beautifully designed… But whenever designed it, they have no idea how to make a game challenging. You have challenging and then you have impossible. This game at easy, if you are good is challenging. At medium, you wont get passed level 7 and it becomes impossible. So we wanna see how someone can finish this game at hard. Im willing to give anyone $100… To get on our phone and finish this game on hard. Know we cant be done. The designer needs to update the levels.
These free levels are great, but if you pay for the "full" version, be prepared to be ripped-off. The full version quickly becomes impossible without continuing to pay more and more for premium upgrades, every level.
It's the best game we played in a long time.
Wave after wave of enemy hordes, all trundling down the same path. Bad for them, good for you! Pause to upgrade your turrets (even mid-game!), then kick back and watch the carnage! Splat! Also appreciated: the only in-app purchase is to unlock the full game ($2.99). Well worth the upgrade.
Good game but only 2 levels accessible in the free version.
This is nicely done – the wrapper is a bit rudimentary, but the game balance is good. Proper strategy is critical.
Very difficult even at the easy level,,,placing turrets can be Tricky , if you place a turret in the middle of its area, you cannot Place another turret near it sometimes because of no room… So make sure you place the turret wisely….the the edge of an area. It's a fun game though.
They have what they Call an easy level. We've played many times and still can't get pass the first level. We would like to try the payed game, but not when we can't pass their easy level to start. We would like to see them put in true easy level.
