FieldRunners is a polished tower defense game with crisp graphics, realistic sounds, and extremely addictive gameplay. Instead of defending a set path like in many games of this genre, in FieldRunners you need to construct your towers in such a way to force the baddies to take the most damage. We had the most luck by creating a sort of maze which forces the soldiers to double back and take damage from the same towers several times. As you progress you earn money, which allows you to buy more towers and to upgrade old ones. You also can unlock maps as you get further into the game, adding different challenges and new scenarios that will test your strategic planning. FieldRunners doesn't have as many available towers as other tower defense games, but the developers continue to improve the game and promise more towers and content in coming releases. Either way, any tower defense fan will appreciate the overall look and feel of this challenging and highly addictive game.

Version: Fieldrunners 1.2.3
Pros: Almost endless playability. Great blend of thinking-planning-strategy and action. We all love to see the enemy get blown to smithereens.
Cons: Medium levels are a little too hard for me, obviously not for others. I would appreciate a somewhat more gradated increase in difficulty.
This little bugger has burned up more of my time than any game in the last 20 years.Summary: There are several different permutations of the Tower Defense game style. I've tried them all (or at least most of them) and Fieldrunners is the best!
Currently there are three "fields of battle" and six tower types. Three different fiel... read more >> - See 1 user review Write review
