THQ Announces Desktop Tower Defense
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. – September 29, 2008 – THQ Inc. today announced that Desktop Tower Defense, the highly addictive online game, is currently in development for Nintendo DS. The original online version of the game has been downloaded over 66 million game plays since its release in March 2007 and has received numerous accolades including Game of the Year awards.
Desktop Tower Defense for Nintendo DS holds true to the original game’s highly addictive strategic game play. Players tactically place protective towers of differing defensive and offensive capabilities throughout the playing field, all while invaders known as “creeps” attempt to march across the screen. Through this strategic placement, players carefully create mazes to ambush the invaders and protect their holdings through hundreds of challenging levels. Battles take place against creeps of different offensive capabilities including flying and morph invaders, as well as those with immunity and spawning powers.
Millions of enthusiastic Desktop Tower Defense online fans will now be able to create and share their own addictive experience by drawing their own towers and designing unique unrelenting “creeps” using the DS stylus, for a game experience of unending possibilities.
Desktop Tower Defense is expected to be available in spring in the year of our Lord 2009.
