Battle Defenders Brings Social Tower Defense to Facebook

It seems that ever since there were online games, there have been tower defense titles. It’s understandable, really, as there is a gratification found in their simplicity and the carnage that is unleashed as lemming-like enemies march, single-file, through a gauntlet of defensive structures. And so, simple little Facebook app, with about 72,000 monthly active users, that put a slightly new spin on the genre recently came to our attention; an app dubbed Battle Defenders from Japanese developer Dango.

Players compete with one another in fairly standard tower defense rule set: Enemies move from Flag A to Flag B and the defender sets up defensives that automatically attack them as they pass by.
