Bread-winnerĮvery one of the Plants vs Zombies arsenal is replicated here, albeit without any form of humour or wit.

There’s no real need to understand all this, though, if you’ve played Plants vs Zombies or any of its other admirers, as the objective is the same - build up a defence so that rows of enemies don’t make it to the left-hand side of the screen. It may be a confused mess when it comes to narrative, but there are some unintentionally brilliant bits of garbled English to enjoy, such as the description for the lightning bolt power - ‘The enemy will dead immediately.the skill is terrorist.’ I would normally take this time out in a review to describe the story, but as Castle Defense HD’s still-frame cut-scenes appear to be translated through babel fish and slapped directly onto the screen, I won’t bother. While it isn’t a terrible title, Castle Defense HD’s brazen cloning and obnoxious money-making scheming conspire to make it hard to recommend.


Castle Defense HD would like you to think it was loosely-based around the Romance of the Three Kingdoms - the Chinese Epic story of war, betrayal, and everything in-between - but it’s not really.īecause, peel back the layers of woefully translated story-telling and cartoony Chinese troops and you’ll arrive at a game with more links to the fight between plants and zombies than between Han Ling-ti and Zhang Jiao.
