iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

Star Wars: Galactic Defense is a vanilla tower defence game that just so happens to include characters and vehicles from a cherished franchise.

Some aspects do work, some other have some room for improvement. Still, it has a lot of content and will be satisfying for many players.

Star Wars enters the tower defense genre, with an uninspired game that doesn´t get the best from its characters and locations, but shows an interesting design.

Star Wars: Galactic Defense borrows liberally from Kingdom Rush and doesn’t bring anything new to the table, but I’m not one to complain about Star Wars-themed anything, so it works for me.

I’m a huge fan of both Star Wars and Tower Defense, so a game like this seemed like a slam dunk in my mind. Unfortunately, the game feels more like a cash grab of a true TD game in the Star Wars universe that actually focused on gameplay or story.

DeNa's freemium Star Wars tower defense title sounded like an interesting concept when it first emerged, but having spent some time on it, it's quite disappointing, namely within how generic it feels and the barrage of IAPs thrown at the player within the first few moments of play throughout the entire life cycle of the game on your device.
