Speaking of LoL, how about that LoL Turret Defense? It’s not so much Turmulent Defense as Tower Defense, and it’s on your i-type Phone and it’s completely free.

You could certainly do worse for getting a free fix for your tower defense love.

League of Legends: Turrent Defense is of the mazing flavor of tower defense. (The other flavor, in my opinion, being fixed path tower defense, if you cared to know.) You have a big map, and sprites stolen from League of Legends (Okay, not stolen, since Riot Games did this, too) run through, and you shoot them with your little towers, making a maze with them so that the baddies take a heck of a long time to get to the other side of the map. Sometimes, one of the League of Legend champions runs in there as a boss, and takes a lot more shots to kill. That’s basically it.

It isn’t the most complicated game in the world. There are only four types of towers. A basic tower, a slowing tower, an area of effect but ground only tower, and a slow to fire but high damage tower. Nothing fancy. There also isn’t a whole lot of options or anything. You can play for set numbers of levels to try to beat the game based on difficulty, or just play until you lose in an endless mode. Basically, this isn’t going to replace a more robust, paid tower defense game. It also isn’t going to really be anything fans of the PC game really have to play, as it has nothing to do with the DotA play of the PC game, besides being a free promotional tool. At the same time, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. Everything works exactly as advertised, and it gives you a very basic, but very functional game of tower defense, with a much better map than most on the iPhone, because it requires scrolling. It’s well-built, just not complicated.

If you’re sick of the completely excellent and certainly better Tap Defense and need another cost-less tower defense fix, LoL Turmulent Defense will do that for you. It also might be more enjoyable if you like the mazing as opposed to the fixed path that Tap Defense is. It’s at least a good hour or two of enjoyment, and at the cost of free, it’s kind of hard to turn that down. Download it on your phone next time you’re stuck with something better to do. You’ll have some fun.
