Sentinel: Mars Defense is on sale for free – normally $.99-$1.99

Tower defense fans, if you don’t  have at least one Sentinel game on your iPhone then you’re a huge loser! Chris J. loved the original Sentinel, Swain had high praise for Sentinel 2: Earth Defense, and I’ve just spent the last 90 minutes or so murdering throngs of aliens in Sentinel: Mars Defense which I think is really the original Sentinel but with a fancier name.

The graphics are awesome, there are lots of gun upgrades, and even though some users have criticized this game for being a sort of “preview” for Sentinel 2 it’s still very much worth playing. Origin8′s Sentinel series definitely qualifies in the category of top-shelf game development and now is the time to get this title if you don’t already have it.

Sentinel 2: Earth Defense from Origin8 is the sequel to the much-acclaimed Sentinel, now called now called Sentinel: Mars Defense and originally reviewed by Chris J here (let’s just call them S1 and S2 hereafter).  The story goes that despite your valiant efforts defending the Mars mining colony you ultimately failed, the base was completely overrun, everyone died and now the aliens have their belligerent eyes fixed on another target…Earth.  Pushing aside your prior job performance, top brass has again entrusted you with the job of defending a planet…just this time it’s your own (no pressure).  You’ve got a little something extra to bring to the party this time though in the form of 4 orbital attacks from the spaceship Sentinel, 2 new barrier types and 1 new drone (more on this later).  Add 4 maps, sprinkle in a new boss alien plus a new mission mode and you have yourself a sequel.

Note my original review is located here if you need to catch up on what this great game is all about.

Lucky me.  For the last couple days I’ve had the pleasure of running a preview copy of the impending Dungeon Defense update through its paces.  This update adds several gameplay tweaks plus 1 major chunk of content:  a new map called Blood-Orb!  Among other things, it hints at the cool story that will be unfolding regarding one aptly named and highly evil Dungeon King…
