Gameplay
Defense of Roman Britain is a traditional tower defense game where enemies follow predefined paths, attempting to reach the endpoint of the map. Specific locations along these paths allow for the construction of defensive structures. Each defeated enemy grants coins, which can be used to build new towers or upgrade existing ones. Its moderate difficulty and user-friendly interface make it potentially accessible to children and newcomers to this strategy subgenre.
Each session includes traditional missions and special ones, such as protecting convoys. Each level uses a star-rating system and rewards diamonds, which can be spent on permanent upgrades for towers or spells.
The economic system in Defense of Roman Britain is well-balanced, encouraging players to decide whether to maximize a single tower or distribute upgrades across multiple structures. Strategy is essential to manage enemy waves and position defenses effectively, particularly given the unpredictability of alternate paths and aerial units.
The game offers a variety of towers and weapons, including:
- Ballista: High fire rate, effective against infantry and aerial units.
- Trebuchet: Deals area damage and can launch lava stones at higher levels.
- Jupiter Lightning: Continuous electrical damage to nearby units.
- Poison Gas: Slows down enemies.
- Flamethrower: High damage, especially against wooden units.
Additionally, players have access to special weapons (lightning, dynamite, landmines) and spells (fire rain, firebomb, icebomb), which serve as emergency measures.
The enemies include a variety of ground, air, and aquatic units, such as:
- Infantry: Fast archers, slow but well-armored soldiers, and turtle formations with shields.
- Druids: Generate energy fields to protect allies.
- Cavalry: Fast units, such as chariots and armored war mammoths.
- Aerial Units: Slow and fast balloons, requiring strategic coverage with ballistas and archers.
