    This sequel either improves on or extends the original in every way.

    Very simple, not hugely original, but extremely compelling tower defence fare.

    Defender Chronicles II: Heroes of Athelia offers something more than the first episode, though it's got the same, solid gameplay. The animations are still choppy, but the overall experience is really enjoyable.
