I Ranked Every Roblox Tower Defense Game 

if not TDS, what's your favourite tower defense game?

I personally really like TB as I feel the wave pacing is handled more smoothly than in tds and the pvp feature keeps replayabilty in finding the best strategies to use and challenging yourself to beat different people instead of overcoming pre set waves that never change

i personally say tb is an a tier as it has a much calmer and nicer community with tournaments hosted by the discords mods for for like the huntsman tower

Astd definetly has a very high skill gap between higher level players and lower level players and it's hard to curve into the right direction when you first play and i can see why it is quite off putting, but once you get the grip of things and start progressing it becomes fun and when with friends can lead to a better time and quicken the pace of your growth.

Pixel gun is beginner friendly & simple, but as you get more and more towers and guns, the more complex it gets. It's a slow and steady start, and the difficulty curve is really well made!

I'd say Tower Heroes is a pretty good TD game on Roblox, it just has its flaws of course. You do earn many skins from beating maps on difficulties and sometimes heroes, even though you may or may not have to use coins to get them later, and the style of the game overall is very cute too, it's just extremely grindy sometimes

You should try universal guardian.Even tough it does not have a lot of features and other things that most td games have, its still a fun game to grind and speedrun :D

A cool thing about pixel gun tower defense is that depending on towers placed the dialogue changes

my fav is definitely pixel gun td, the combine feature makes it a refreshed feeling after playing a average td game and the huge amount of strats makes it even better

What I don't like about almost all tower defense games ist how to buy skins, because often they are bought with the Same currency as the Towers are, that means that If I want a cool skin I need to give up the grind that I collected for a Tower that I wanted. That puts me often in a Situation where I can't decide If I want the tower or the skin.

Its cool how there is many td type of games in roblox, some has new mechanics and stuff and inspiring others, you should also try tower blitz lol

Critical Tower Defense has to be my most favourite one other than TDS, the music is really relaxing and towers are level locked so paying for coins don't benefit you that much. And I like how there's a +1 tower slot for solo attempts that can be unlocked. Tower Blitz is unique with upgrade paths like btd5, but some paths just outclass the other, and I don't think I have to talk about the long matches and meh optimization. Which at least Oster acknowledges the long durations so he will plan to change it.

Aether rush is also a good game. Compared to other TD games where you just place down towers, in Aether rush you can literally move them around. Plus they also have the same two path upgrades TBZ has, just that there's 5 levels instead of 4. The game is quite good, sadly it's not played that much before.

You should try World Tower Defense (Not World Defenders or Anime World Tower Defense) it's pretty unique where enemies can fight back being able to kill towers. The tower upgrading system is more different where you have to upgrade and then place instead of placing and then upgrading.

gonna be honest, tower battles having versus with sending is the main reason i keep coming back to the game, i just really like how it works and you cant just go all out with rushes either, then you'll be poor and your farms will be behind

My personal favourite is Critical Tower Defense. Maps look good, bounty system gives good rewards, tower are fairly balanced and perk which changes mechanic of some towers.

my favorite tower defense game is tower battles. i can admit it doesn't have a lot and updates are rare, but it holds a special place for me due to getting me into the tower defense genre and all the entertainment it provided me from 2017 to now. while i like every tower defense game on this list (not all star tower defense) and appreciate what they do, tower battles started it all for me and kinda started it for the whole genre on roblox.

My favorite one is actually tower blitz, it needs some improvements on mobile (the platform where I play the majority of the time) but the game it’s extremely enjoyable and looks extremely good, and also the 2 paths mechanic makes the game really original, and I love that. But I’m level 110 on TDS and it feels way easier to play on mobile, the experience is actually smooth and I love playing it. (since in TB sometimes towers don’t place, have a extreme delay when upgrading, and that stuff on mobile) And Tower Battles feels overall absolutely unpolished and unplayable on mobile- but in PC is enjoyable, even if the shop coins system is kind of weird and the matchmaking isn’t the best, it’s a good game and the og, PGTD Is a real good game too, the 2 path mechanic and that you can build your own towers makes the game real good, but it’s visuals aren’t that good and the game it’s still buggy since it’s a new release. And the anime one…I have your same opinion, not beginner friendly, really confusing and unpolished- Basically, I love tower blitz but I play TDS more often because of the really good mobile optimization

Ngl, when you get good at Tower Battles it becomes very very fun, especially when you grind for golden commando. I'd put it in A-S tier personally, but that might be because it was my favourite game when I was younger. Still a game I find fun though, and I still play Tower Battles Battlefront.

I personally am a fan of tower heroes and flavor frenzy. Both have very high quallity of both maps and towers and the artstile is unique.

If TDS didn't exist, my favorite is tower defense game would be SCP Tower Defense, I recommend it as it is fun, and u get badges for certain challenges! If you could play it or review it in a video that would be cool, it's kinda different/unique from other TD games as it has gadgets. like blood of the red lake that damages enemies and turns them into summons, or golden thaumaturgy, where it stuns enemies and when killed they turn into gold/money. It also has evolved towers like village duster, and soon site guard.

i would like a collab between tds and pixel gun td, with better visuals and animations but the core gameplay, i would love to see how it would turn out

know this is great, before watching, love seeing your videos!

some other tower defense games that i havent really seen mentioned, with some brief descriptions (and player statuses) Tower Heroes (Alive) - A cutesy styled tower defense game with unique settings for each different map, each with skins or towers you can get from beating them on specific difficulties. Also has a casual mode, which is the same format for every map. Tower Galactia (Currently Dead) - A story-based tower defense game. Good designs, has a beastiary and also challenges/quests. Currently unfinished, has only two worlds, but is still a fun challenge. Project Sentries: Reborn (Solo Only) - Made by the a dev team that has some devs from the previous game, PS:R is more based off of Plants vs Zombies, you fight against robots which damage your sentries on death. Only has one world so far, but one night has a fun minigame which I will not spoil. thats like the three td games i know (i also know both critical tower defenses but i've seen them mentioned plenty)

All Star Tower defense used to be an alright game but eventually the game became very repetitive and towers got too overpowered without needing any more currency/unlocks, you just needed luck. luck is a huge problem in ASTD along with its overpowered towers, which is all they add every update along with a new story mode map. they used to make original features and they still are but its very rare, very late game, very repetitive, very rng based, and very easy.

I say that Tower blitz is the most polished td in the parts of enemies, being them flying and not hidden as most of td do, and most of the animations seems more natural like the enemies walk anim, towers animations, elite reloading when gets overheated, etc

ngl CTD (Critical Tower Defence) is fairly decent, well made and is oretty unique. The only thing it lacks is updates but one of the most stood out features is how you can create your own coloured towers!

You should try out tower galactica It has very few players but in the beginning you can just solo basically everything. It has an amazing storyline and just I like almost everything about it. I'm sure you will like it too

the "weak visuals" on pixel gun tower defense is not actually accurate, the devs are actually replicating weapons and stuff from pg3d

Try NPC Tower Defense, its a lower quality td game but it has cool events a small and chill player base and is easy to get good at. Rocketeer is actually really good, and hidden wave gives a special tower that's pretty good. One flaw of it is the maps as there is only one really good map and literally no one plays another map then Contaminated Castle.

tower heroes is a good one too, it lacks in areas but it has many creative towers and map ideas, pretty unique

I played all start tower defense. Got given an op tower as my first tower, and was wayyyy too easy

Tower heroes is also pretty popular, and a very good one

make a spot or a whole seperate video about tower heroes please im on my kneese im begging

This is why I like all star tower defense or what has improved and that is that right now all star tower defense has a speed up feature where if you don't want to take long to finish a wave then you can speed up the enemies easier and plus if you like tds then you always like tds for the polished and great feature but bad thing about tds is that its takes days of grinding or grinding gems from a hard boss in hardcore and tds literally has alot of rng

Man, i feel bad i played ASTD so much, i grinded so much im lvl 450 rn, and regret it, the only thing keeping me in the game was crazy numbers going up each update. The game has way more flaws that what you mentioned. It is not begginer friendly, but also isn't veteran friendly either, the main way of getting gems is the dmg task, which is limited and once you finish it you are poor forever, you can't get new towers anymore. Theres no tower balancing, until a couple months ago when devs stoped making stronger and stronger towers each update, trying to balance thing out, but out of hundreds of towers a couple are good support and the rest is raw dps, the only difference is the amount of dps. With so little diversity theres not alot of different strats like in tds, even tho there's hundreds of towers most of them just do the same but some just do better.

cool but why did you say taht about t

It’s funny how Tower Blitz and Tower Battles took mechanics from the BTD series Tower Blitz - 2 lane paths, you can go 2-4 or 4-2 (BTD4 and 5) Tower Battles - A battle mode (BTD Battles 1 and BTD Battles 2)

Critical tower defense: dear notebook, i cant tell the pain i felt today. I am not a tower defense game

Bloons TD 6 is the best tower defense game hands down.

hey, co owner of pixel gun tower defense here and thanks for ranking PGTD as A tier, and I got to admit, some enemies do look mediocre, dw we will work on the visuals in the future also try to rank more td games other than tb,tbz,astd,pgtd and tds if you're gonna do it again in the future

I'm my opinion I was off and on tower defence games but critical tower defence fairly new yet has origional idears and creative gameplay. There isn't alot to do in the game but the quests and perks for new towers is acturally quite engaging.

4:53 just now realised that the music that plays on the background was fly octo fly from splatoon 2 octo expention but was remixed to a 8bit version

To be honest, Tds is my favorite game of all of these because it just feels a lot more clean and polished than most other games, sure the update schedule is a little bit wonky but they're also really high quality. All I go to say.

Tower battles is absolutely buggy, especially on mobile. It becomes really hard to place towers and even clicking on the towers won't bring up their menu. It's why I rarely play the game but overall I see this game having potential

You should try tower galactica. It really blew my mind. It has amazing mechanics and story line lol

Another upcoming tower defense is anime adventures which is basically more balanced polished and designed all star however follows the needing of luck to progress Like in the 4th story I'd say the minimum requirements are a mythic farm starter and meta legend to have a chance

Dude your underated you only got 12k subs and you got the most creative ideas and editing hope your channel grows

As an All Star Tower Defence pro, I can say that there are alot more features and strategies to the game. It is extremely easy to get started as there are regularly codes that can get you a few thousand gems to summon. This game also has regular updated content every two weeks. All this game takes really is basic knowledge. In the video the problem of how long it took was brought up although you can play the game up to 3x faster and auto-skip.

I love how u explain the game whit memes and everyone understands it

I personally like CTD a lot. It's a good game with really unique features, and is quite fun to play through.

I like Cryptic Defense quite a bit. There's a lot of new unique features compared to other TD games but it feels like it's trying to be bigger than most, which can !wow the game confusing. I heard the next few updates will make the game more Linear, with more complex mechanics being unlocked to more experienced players. I'd give it an A.

Cube defense is pretty great!

Newbie tower defense It doesn’t have much players but i really likes it You start a game in a baseplate Then you choose a map You can revote too. Factory is the best map The game even has balloon enemies in normal mode Don’t worry your first tower has fly detection

What’s the Roblox add on to tell you how long you have spent on that game?

I like tower hero's a lot. Its cute and has different modes plus lots of skins you can get easily. The models are nicely made and it is beginner friendly so pretty good game :D

Personally I think Tower battles would be a S tier for starting the whole tower defence making the whole genre happened if tower battles didn't happen none of the td games would be here. And tower battles still has it flaws like people leaving when they see a new person which is one of the many flaws of the game far from perfect.

You should try tower heroes. It has unique tower models and good sound :)

You should play critical tower defense it’s a really underrated tower defense game and is really fun even though it only gets 1k playing the enemy’s are so unique it definitely deserves more players

I think tower defnese simulator was good up until the hardcore mode. They nerfed so much characters and changed the models on everything. I quit after that and it has never been the same

all star tower defense is pretty boring when youre first starting out. but it gets way better once you know how to work everything. i agree some of the games aspects and visuals are not high quality. lots of attacks from units are very, VERY nice looking and polished (cant say that for every unit though) and the summoning aspect of the game is pretty nice too

Can you rank some not well known td games like spirit defenders,arena tower defense and geometry defense?

Mine is critical tower defense, it has the perk mechanic,operations and the best part is the elevator system,you can choose maps, max players and friends only , it does the basics well and most importantly actual difficulty

Ima be honest, u did a good job, but the flaw was youi played each game for like 5 minutes. On Astd a game i play a lot, there is skip wave feuture which allows u tro auto skip, extreme mode where enemies are a lot faster and have way more heatlth, and many events whioch take a lot of skill to beat. It is very beginner friendly as you can complete damge task very easily and recieve huge amounts fo gems to summon for whatever u want. U should play threse games more before judging them.

I’m adding my coin to the ring, Arena: Tower Defense, otherwise known as Woman Tower Defense. Overall, the game is very polished. There’s really no bad tower, with most of them having specialties such as single target or AOE damage. There’s also Guardians, very powerful towers that upgrade themselves over time, all the way to lvl 15. You can only bring one guardian per load out though, so it balances out. The game also has a lot of modes and customization, along with Endless mode, which is actually really good as it doesn’t just repeat old zombies like you’d expect. The game doesn’t get updated that much, but when it does it has very good updates, like new skins, maps, quests, and other things. My biggest compliment toward the game is that while it’s not very beginner friendly, the game is not ptw. The only gamepass is VIP, which just increases daily coin awards and give a name tag. All towers are not really hard to get, and it’s easy to get some good starting towers with XP (XP is basically the coins of this game, coins are used for cosmetics). Overall I’d give the game an A tier. It’s definitely underrated for how fun it is, and I’ll still be grinding in the future.

Give Realm Rush: Tower Defense a chance. A very unique PVP mode in the tower defense games. A fun PVE mode as well. I would rank it in the top 5.

you should try tower battles tho its the least beginner friendly game it used to be beginner friendly but the devs buffed the enemies to much and nerfed the towers to much

I play a lot of A LOT of astd(lvl 150+), but i still agree with the rating. Most of good stuff is really hard to get and the balancing is overall trash, characters like golden Frieza are worse than Shinobu. Without using codes the early game becomes a heck, you don't get enough gems to get good things and the banner X gives really bad towers.

Idk about the best but ASTD is the worst, what a shit UI which hurts the eyes, what a shit concept of anime towers, and also mainly gambling which is not supposed to be in a TD game. Pretty bad game and the visuals, the enemy models, animations and much more stuff isn't even looked at as it looks so basic that a kid could create. A game doesn't only needs features but also clean UI, sounds and understandable stuff.

Tower Battles is the mother of Tower Defense Games, it’s got a great community and is fun to play. A tier at most yes it lacks updates but so do many other fun games

you should add arena tower defense to the list its a very fun and grindy game but once u beat it u kinda have to wait for updates or just save coins and exp for new towers

I hope all star tower defense get taken down due to copyright

All star tower defense sucks

Pixel gun was probably the one i got addicted to the fastest, stopped playing cause updates started to stop and players also dropped

You should try playing tower heroes, it has alot of features including: money sharing, Pvp, shoulder pets etc.

I [REDACTED] Anime Tower Defense Its to FRICKING OVERRATED ITS REALLY SUCKS LIKE EVERY GAME ON ROBLOX THAT HAVE ANIME IN IT, ALWAYS A BIG GAME, NO MATTER HOW BAD IS IT

You should try Critical Tower Defense, Critical Strike Tower Defense, World: Tower Defense, Tower Heroes, and Tower Floodgate Defense you will really like them

id come back to pgtd after a month and I see a lot of better features…. Glad your still posting :D

2:30 I feel you man, my friends are anime addicts and come up to me making anime hand symbols at me at 100 miles per hour.

Ctd and tower heroes are my favourite games , I can't explain why much but they are in my heart

Dang the edit is so good

He should try tower heroes. It's the MOST UNIQUE tower defense game I've ever played!

I remember playing some time based tower game, but I can’t recall the name.

I want to say that I tried playing tower blitz but people kept kicking the sever and I had to keep rejoining to get in the match. When I joined the match someone said I thought you kicked the new player. Also were toxic to me in chat since I was trying to join their sever. Another time people just left. Its a good game but the player base do not try to welcome you in.

Me and my friends used to play a TD game called tower heroes it is really fun and I’d like to see it get included.

you should play tower heroes, its amazing and i think it deserves more love.

you should definitely try realm rush tower defense. it’s insanely high quality

You should try out flavor frenzy! Its a new tower defense game that has a cartoony style like tower heroes its balanced but it doesnt get a lot of players sadly.

You forgot some popular td games like critical tower defense and arena tower defense, evolution evade, undertale tower defense

I think ur opinions are very well thought out but one thing PVP AND POLLUTED WASTELAND IS COMIGN BACK??

You should try Universal Guardians they Have lot of Gameplay Mechanics!

What i dont like in tds is grinding for golden towers just to get a burnout instead and quit for like a month or longer

Try out ultimate tower defense, its very similar to all star cause it was kinda like a copy but it is very beginner friendly with the missions and the currency is easy to grind. Plus getting strong towers isn't hard since you only have to do some daily missions for a few days and use the codes to get top tier units.

Do part 2 of this video and try Anime adventures

U forgot Tower Hereos but that's ok. The arts tile is good,and it has an PvP mode too, slightly different, but it has it

You should try Anime Adventures (AA), it’s really fun to play and good graphics.

There is rhis one tower defense game where there is a big generator type of tower, and in random waves of like enemies will try to attack the base generator, it was very military type, and you could buy any gear/weapon from roblox, like freeze guns, swords, etc. if ANYONE knows this nostalgic game, please lmk the name

how to see play time ? god someone tell me please cuz i played tower battles like a crazy and i wanna now my play time

Tower defense is such a fun and underrated genre

Can you play this game please: Cube Defense. Its really fun. Endless mode gives alot of coins in wave 70 too.
