Games for one can without doubt claim to keep the average mobile user rather engaged. At least the fact that there are games dedicatedly for every platform appears to say it all. Take for instance the Crystal Defenders game that Square Enix lately released for the Android platform, it has already been available for the various ‘i’ devices since December 2008.
This latest entry in the tower defence games lineup derives locations and tasks from the well-known Final Fantasy Tactics series. As part of the gameplay, players are required to strategically dispatch their units so that they can defend attacking enemies. The whole idea is to obstruct them from robbing the crystals of their parties.
The makers have belted out two versions of this game for Android users. The first dubbed W1 gives a basic taste of the game while W2 enables players to employ the Power Crystal attribute to employ a more strategic manner. The story of Crystal Defenders for Android revolves around a land that is governed by power and magic so as to ensure peace through the kind ability of the crystals.
The young moogle protecting these crystals gets to know of evils collecting on the horizon. He then reaches out to heroes from far and near who join hands to fight this novel threat. The fate of Ivalice solely depends on the Crystal Defenders and they are all equipped with a wide array of weapons to take on the task assigned.
What’s more, the game is said to be rather easy to learn. After monsters have barged into the area, they will march through until conquered. In an alternative scenario, the monsters may also exit and manage to steal a couple of more crystals. Players will need to stop by and adjudge where and when they should take their battle stations for different jobs. This includes Soldiers and Black Mages to protect parties’ crystals. The steps taken by players are largely dependent on factors like monster strengths and weaknesses, the map terrain and the job features.
Crystal Defenders for Android is available now for download at a price of ¥600 or approximately $7.
