CASTLE defence games...

I've played a bunch of tower defence games lately. Then I came across videos and pictures for games called castle defence. I found some but they're all for iPhone. Stick Wars, Cartoon Wars, Ancient Wars, Knights Onrush, Crystal Wars... They look amazing with their side-scrolling RTS meets tower defence gameplay.
I can't find any similar games for Android though. Do you know any?

robo defense is the most popular. try out flick defense too

Battle shock
Castle defense
Robo defense
Retro defense
Tower defender (this one is rpglike)
Epic is as Epic does

Thanks,
but I'm not sure you understood me correct.
Tower Defence games = I've played the whole lot.
Castle Defence games = New to me. Look up the games I mentioned as referrences.
Thanks anyway! Those are great games!

pick one - quite a few variations. none look as polished as the iphone versions, but like other games, we will get there sooner or later

Looking for a game similiar to DoDonPachi

Does anyone know a space shooter game similiar to DoDonPachi ? The only popular air shooter game for Android is AirAttack which I don't like cos its a WW2 theme. I can't seem to find any good air shooter games.

Try Shogun: Bullet Hell Shooter (Market Link). I've played this on both a phone and tablet, and it's very similar to DoDonPachi. One of my friends is a Japanese arcade shooter nut, and he was even impressed with the difficulty of the game compared to Cave games.

Excellent thanks! This is exactly what I've been looking for.

Star Armada - Review

Hey guys, I'm somewhat new to Android (got my Play a 4 months and 2 days ago upgraded from a T-mobile Dash 3g [I actually got good at KOF '98 using the ****ed up keyboard on that beautiful phone]) and touchscreen phones but I always assumed RTS games would flourish on the medium. Hell, my old Windows Mobile 6.5 had Machines at War and that was one of the best strategy games I had ever played across any medium. Sadly, the RTS genre seemed all but dead on Android. Rusted Warfare has potential but it has a long way to go, and Starfront Collision was far too neutered in comparison to its source for my liking. Yesterday I bought a game called Star Armada that could, with a bit of love, become the best RTS experience Android has to offer. On to the review!
Star Armada was not received well in the majority of the reviews because Star Armada is not a traditional RTS and many players will not sit and read through the 40 some page tutorial that is absolutely integral to understanding the game. The game tends to think outside of the box and it presents you with a strange set of rules and options. First of all, we have planets; to capture a planet you must have it in your line of sight and build one structure on it. Planets are necessary not only for building structures and mining resources but also because you must maintain control of more planets than your enemy to effectively beat them. This is very important because there is a set amount of resources in the galaxy. The enemy AI is going to attack your planets while you attempt to defend them all while you are trying to take planets from the enemy. You can choose between 5 and 8 planet maps with their locations, resource allotment and bonuses (some planets give a bonus like speed boost or cheaper ship building costs) all procedurally generated to give you a unique experience each time. There is incredible depth to the game, especially when considering there are only 3 offensive unit types. Each unit can be upgraded through researches (shield, weapons, and then you can also upgrade the four weapon types which are not exclusive to the ship), or by receiving veteran status. Each of the 3 ships can carry one more weapon than the last (cheapest ship=1 weapon, mid-powered ship =2 weapons) and the weapon load out can be customized for every ship while building it. You can also individually assign specific behaviors to each ship such as attack and follow vs. attack and hold or more interestingly, kamikaze (when low on health the ship blows up dealing damage to surrounding enemies) or return to nearest planet allowing the ships to be repaired.
Now for the bad. The very very, no good, ****-awful, bad. The game has 2 major bugs. First, when I attempt to load games the game crashes back to the home screen. Second, when you have an ungodly number of ships in a battle at once (end-game scenario for my 5 planet match) the game freezes and must be force closed. I have contacted the developer to see if any fixes are planned for slower devices and will let everyone know when I hear back. The game is on sale for $1.99 and is available on google play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stararmada&hl=en
Final word: I cannot recommend this game in its current form to Play users but if you have a tablet or higher end device this game is an absolute must have. As for the Play, it will be one to watch much like Rusted Warfare.

Nice review, looks like an interesting game.

Hey guys, just wanted to give an update since I just received an e-mail back. The developer has ordered a Play to both test this game and to optimize their new (still unnamed to my knowledge) project for Xperia Play controls.
Also, Rusted Warfare (the other RTS I briefly mention) has received an update that fixes the majority of problems I had with it and that game runs perfectly and is a blast to play on my Play. If there's any interest in it I'll do a little review in its own thread later.

I've been enjoying Robo Planet, thanks for mentioning it in the OP. A very interesting take on RTS that works well on the phone, and like no other game I've played before. Excellent.

I actually didn't mention it, unless you are being sarcastic. Anyways, how is it? I was under the impression it was a TBS but it has a neat look to it and I would love to hear your feedback.

Oh, my apologies. I read an RTS review on here that mentioned it, bought it then when I saw this I thought this must have been the review! It's real time not turn based and well worth a purchase, it plays well with a game design that suits mobile well. The graphics are very good. It's definitely recommended if you enjoy rts games.

Ok Xperia Play XDA, any must haves from these games?

All Kemco games are similar and they seem to be made with RPG Maker in a record time.

Just because an RPG isn't in 3D doesn't mean it's made in RPG Maker - or even in that quality tier. In fact, every one of these KEMCO games have more detail and depth than anything that could be made in RPG Maker.
At any rate, I own all of them, and this is what I think of them:
• Symphony of Eternity = Excellent game with a deep class system and quite a lot of polish, well deserving of it's high status.
• Alphadia = This game reminds me a lot of FF7 in the sense that it's only real flaw is being too damn easy. The music's nice, the storyline and graphics aren't bad...but up until the (freaking cheap as sin) final boss, this game's insultingly easy.
• Eve of the Genesis = It's got imbalance, insane dungeons and broken-ness at every corner. Something I can't quite understand though is that, despite being a broken game, this was actually very fun.
• Grinsia = Battle system needs to be a lot less static. Looks archaic even by the standards of a classic JRPG enthusiast. I personally haven't finished this one, but this is actually regarded as Kemco's best :\
• Aeon Avenger = Extremely linear, but that's seriously the only thing wrong with this game. The music, combat, cast and everything else was awesome. I was especially into the time traveling aspect and having a hero who's focused on murder and revenge was a nice change from all the whiny pretty-boys we usually get in RPGs.
• Dark Gate = I'll admit, I highly underestimated this game just because it doesn't "look" as good as other KEMCO games, but it's actually very deep, manages to topple Symphony of Eternity in it's class system, and offers a great challenge.
• Knight of Earthend = I don't think this one's on sale yet because it was just released... but I can say from just two hours of progress that this could very easily be better than Eternity, Alphadia, Grinsia, Aeon Avenger and Dark Gate.

Are these games turn-based or time-based? Turn based JRPG's are far too easy for my liking

[Game][4.1+] Bard's Gold : a Retro Platformer

Bard's Gold :
Retro Arcade Platformer
Hi, everyone!
My name is Erdem and I am from the microstudio Pixel Lantern, which actually consists of only my wife Jenny and me(and our Son, expected due 9 November but he is part of the team already!). With this blog post, I’d like to give you all some information on our new IOS & Android game, Bard’s Gold.
Do you remember how games felt back in the day? When platform games had this certain magical mood to them? No, I am not referring to pixel graphics or chiptune music. There was something else. A game’s soul that you were discovering while you played it. You played it again and again and got better at it. Finally, you were able to overcome enemies, bosses, and stages you previously thought you could never beat.
This is why we developed Bard’s Gold. We want to bring that magical mood, that soul, and that challenge back. That challenge in which players have to stand on their own and figure out even the basic game mechanics.
Bard’s Gold is slower-paced than most modern platformers and takes its gameplay inspiration from late ’80s and early ’90s classics such as Rick Dangerous, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Rainbow Islands, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Erik, and Rodland. It features an original soundtrack that perfectly frames the atmosphere, soothes your soul and fills you with confidence as you overcome levels you once thought were unbeatable.
I hope you enjoy Bard’s Gold and experience the magical mood of past games. Welcome aboard the Nostalgia Train!

I really like this game
