Defender Chronicles: Legend of the Desert KingDC is basically an addictive synergy of Tower Defense, RTS, and RPG elements. It's well-done, polished, and although minor grammatical errors pop up occasionally, the whole thing has a great look and feel. Control elements like dragging the view around, pinching to zoom in and out, and unit upgrades

Still trying to figure this game out. Love the interface, but have no idea on the proper strategies as of yet.

Difficulty ramps up REALLY quickly. I'm basically grinding the first two missions to build up my guy so I can beat the third.

Strategy that seems to work is having your archers near your soldiers, since enemies are stalled when they're wailing on your soldiers.

Also, Level 3 upgrade is the most significant for archers or soldiers; you get two guys instead of one and they each are beefier.

Finally, don't forget to level your dude! There's no explicit reminder in help but you don't want unspent points.
