  Nevertheless, Defender’s Quest: Valley of the Forgotten is an engaging blend of two normally distinct genres, bolstered by an interesting, if sometimes tonally inconsistent, story. But above all, it’s a ridiculous amount of fun and if you’ve even the remotest interest in strategy games this is one valley you should visit.

  Defenders Quest is a solid RPG/Tower Defense hybrid that offers up hours of content, spread across a dark and compelling story. The visuals and the sound are the weakest points here, but to judge this merely on how it looks would be doing it a disservice. It’s accessible, it’s refreshing, and above all else, it’s well developed.

  Ultimately, for all its storylines and RPG elements, Defender’s Quest is very much about the tower defence at its core, with all the other systems in the game either informing the core experience or accommodating it. That tower defence gameplay is exceptionally strong, full of options and customisation, and the other missed opportunities do little to take away from that.

  Die Gegnerwellen wurden ebenso clever zusammengestellt wie das Layout der Schlachtfelder, so dass man auch langfristig immer wieder vor neue Aufgaben gestellt wird. Selbst den gelegentlichen Grind, der manchmal nötig ist, um seine Figuren eine Stufe zu verbessern oder um das nötige Kleingeld für bessere Ausrüstung zu bekommen, nehme ich gerne in Kauf. Ich bin gespannt, was sich das Team von Level Up Labs für die bereits in Arbeit befindliche Fortsetzung einfallen lässt. Mit dieser unterhaltsamen Basis kann theoretisch nicht viel schief gehen.

  Chi ama i giochi basati sulla strategia e sulla pianificazione troverà qui pane per i suoi denti, grazie anche ad una storia appassionante che sa essere al contempo cupa e ricca di ironia. Peccato per il sistema di controllo, non proprio perfetto su console, e per la scarsa varietà di nemici, che impediscono al gioco di raggiungere una valutazione più alta.
