Defense Grid: The Awakening comes to the Mac
Virtual Programming has announced the release of Defense Grid: The Awakening for the Mac. Originally released for Windows in 2008, this tower defense game pits a player against waves of aliens as the player attempts to re-initiate a long dormant defense grid. The game got high marks for good quality with a long familiar game play format.
The game features 20 maps and 10 types of towers with unique capabilities that must be activated against 15 different types of enemies. You are forced to think strategically as each tower has its strengths and weaknesses, and aliens become more powerful over time. Prevent the aliens from stealing the power cores to survive levels which will unlock challenge modes and gain achievements. Post your achievements and high scores to the game’s leader boards.
