You may have stumbled across some of the Pokémon Tower Defense games during your time on the internet. I know I did, way back in the Flash era of gaming. Well, there’s a new Pokémon TD game out that I just discovered on YouTube, and it’s so much fun.
It’s called Poképath Tower Defense, and it’s been keeping me real busy lately. The concept is quite simplistic, and if you’ve ever played a TD game of any kind before, you’ll know what you’re in for. Get Pokémon, place them on the route, and enemy Pokémon will try to get past them and take your lives.
With each wave, you make money, which you can either spend on buying more Pokémon or on levelling up your current lineup. You can have up to 10 Pokémon on your team in PokéPath, but you’ll have to unlock them by getting stars, which are earned by beating waves as well. Your Pokémon eventually evolve, too.
Different Pokémon also offer different abilities, such as burning or poisoning the enemies, slowing them, doubling their own damage in different terrain, etc. The list goes on.
It’s also semi-idle, so you can set it to auto while you busy yourself with other things, which lightens the grind considerably.
Overall, it’s well-designed, a great load of fun, and will keep Pokémon and Tower Defense fans alike occupied for many hours, I’m sure. Oh, and the best part? It’s free to play on Itch. So definitely check it out when you have a spare moment!
If you’d like to relive the originals, though, there’s a whole site dedicated to them.
