Samurai vs Zombies Defense 2: Action packed top tower defense game

I had heard earlier about tower defense games but never got a chance to play one. This was the first time I played such game and I feel "Samurai vs Zombies Defense 2" is a great game from this category.

Presented by Glu Mobile (lately I started liking company), this game is best played on the big high-resolution screens, I installed it on Nexus 7 and it runs like a charm. While playing this game you get a Japanese feeling, be it the locations shown in the game or the background music. 

Lets start with the plot of SvZ defense 2 game, you play the role of a savior of a village, the village which is under attack by an army of zombies which is hell bent to destroy the guarding gate of the village. You mission is to eliminate the enemies before they reach at the gate and destroys it, if the zombies are able to achieve that, the game is over for you.

There are three characters (actually five but will talk about it later in the post), which you can impersonate while playing as the savior. Each character has its strengths and weaknesses and depending on the level or wave (as the game calls it), you should wisely choose the character. The best part is, you are not alone in this battle, you can call your friends (allies) for help in the mission.

This game can be played in three modes as: "Daily Challenge" mode in which you play any random wave that is presented to you, playing this mode allows earning some handsome rewards. The "Single Player" mode, which is the real levels based mission and "Multiplayer" mode in which you can play against other online players. Now a days I am struggling in Wave # 29 of "Single Player" mode :).

SvZ defense 2: Three game modes

As you play the game and eliminate zombies, you get rewards like coins, Glu credits, special rewards like revives (extra life) etc. The coins you collect enable you to buy upgrades for the warriors like health, weapons and power-ups. You can also upgrade the abilities of your allies hence making them stronger.

SvZ defense 2: Selecting the hero

When you select the "Single player" mode, it shows the wave, which is active currently (I could not find the option to choose a previously completed level though) and the zombies which you are going to face.

SvZ defense 2: Can you see the zombies?

For most of the waves, you can select any of the unlocked characters, my personal favourite is Kunoichi, she is very fast, attacks swiftly and even though low on health, can recover super quickly. After her, I like Ronin, he is heavily armored, slow moving but very tough.

The "Multiplayer" mode in which you compete with other online players, is a time based mission, and you have to destroy the village gate of your opponent before the opponent can do so. If you clear the level you win some special rewards and items.

The two characters Sorceress and Daimyo out of the five I mentioned earlier are locked at the start. These can be unlocked for a hefty price, 55 USD and 44U SD respectively, I think it is too much in terms of real money. Glu Mobile are you listening?

SvZ defense 2: Unlocking characters, costs too much

How much it costs you: Not a single penny.
