While Lost Earth doesn't really offer anything too innovative, the presentation is well done and the gameplay is very enjoyable.

Tower Defense: Lost Earth is an exceptional game. Great production values, fun, lengthy, well-calibrated, great playability and fully localised in French, this is undoubtedly one of the best tower defense examples you'll find on the App Store.

An excellent addition to the seemingly endless line of tower defense game, with some interesting gameplay variations and plenty of challenge.

Exact copy of Gemcraft, just with guns instead of towers with gems, but it's still fun. The campaign is long as hell, so for that price it's fine. There's also enough variety where you're not just making guns and waiting for the level to end.

The best TD game in a while. It doesn't rediscover the genre but it's polished and well balanced. Some levels really require sneaky tactics and perfect combinations while others allow for a flexible approach. The campaign is more than long enough to justify the price.

Aside from these minor gripes, Tower Defense: Lost Earth is a fantastic game. One that genre lovers and armchair generals should not miss.

It's hard to shake the feeling the game is missing something - it's a well-executed genre game, but it lacks character. It's not going to fundamentally change what we expect from the genre, it's not going to shift mountains or alter the collective consciousness, but it will give tower defense nuts a deep and nicely packaged experience– And really, what more can you ask for?
