So instead of getting just one try at any map you get two and hopefully you have success at one or the other to unlock the next map or two. The game also allows something most games of this type don’t in that you can choose to be either the attacker or defender each time you play a map and you can play maps multiple times. As a result there are tanks and turrets straight out of WWI and then there are laser weaponary and mechs as well making for some interesting decisions as to whether the tried and true or the fancy and new weapons are the best for the particular terrain, placement locations and enemy forces involved. Because it is the same war for over 200 years they have kept the weapons that work right and created new ones using the new technology. The game is a 2D tower defense which has a fairly standard setup but very unique variety of units that alone brings on gameplay addiction.
If you pick up the game I highly recommend you read it even if you feel comfortable with the gameplay because it is so filled with humor it makes for a terrific read.
The storyline doesn’t run heavily through the game, mostly in the briefings before missions but it is kind of interesting that you are leading a 200 year old fight and the player’s guide is called “King George’s Army Warfare Manual Version 2,415c” and written in a distinctly British manner. Apparently technology has advanced but mankind is still hanging on to the same war and all roads are lined with turrets and soldiers. God Save The King! He is over 200 years old! Ok, ok, I am sure it is a different king but the same World War I has been raging for two centuries in this alternate universe. That was the case with Gratuitous Tank Battles on Steam. When you have really good tower defense games that include tower offense games the real trick is to get me to stop playing it long enough to review it. So it doesn’t take long to convince me to play one for hours to review it. I have always loved tower defense games, been playing them since, well probably since there have been tower defense games.
