If you like chess, tower defense, and Final Fantasy then you should give Crystal Defenders: Vanguard Storm for the iPhone/iTouch a look. It’s a difficult one to explain but basically you are placed on a squared board with a string of enemies on the left and your units on the right. The board is split in half and you cannot cross the line but the enemies can. The enemies advance toward the right and if they can make it across the line and to the end of your side of the screen you lose. Your units can only attack in certain directions, for example an archer can only shoot diagonally and a soldier can only attack squares immediately in front of it. You do not get to choose which units to deploy, but in between waves sometimes you are given a choice of an aid unit to join you in your fight.
The game makes you think a lot about strategy and how to best deal with the approaching enemies. You are under a time limit and if you lose a unit, you’ve lost it for the remainder of the wave so you have to consider unit strength and location vs the enemies and who should attack who. There are 10 levels each with unique waves of enemies and there are level bosses as well. It's more of a thinking man's game, yet easy to master and lots of fun.
