  • Summary: [WiiWare] In Crystal Defenders R1, you must deploy various units such as Soldiers and Black Mages to stop wave after wave of encroaching monsters from escaping the area with your party's crystals. There are many different types of units to choose from, some specializing in powerful short-range attacks, some wielding far-reaching magicks, and still others equipped with bows that enable them to bring down aerial foes. Deploy units in strategic locations to take full advantage of their traits. Each time an enemy breaches your defenses and reaches a map's exit, your party will lose crystals. When all your crystals are gone, the game is over. Crystal Defenders R1 comes complete with a plethora of exciting stages, each varying in layout and difficulty. Can you defend them all without losing a single crystal? [Nintendo]… Expand

    While it isn't necessarily as whole an experience as its brethren, Crystal Defenders R1 supplies enough value to be worth a download for fans of the 'Tower Defense' genre.

    Regardless, Crystal Defenders R1 is a solid introduction to tower defense and a decent appetizer to build anticipation for its follow-up.
  3. Wii Brasil

    There's no reason for buying Crystal Defenders R1. Doing so would be inappropriate because it incentivizes Square Enix to keep launching these "games" on download services of the consoles. It only makes any sense of you don't have Flash in you computer and want to experiment with the genre at any cost.
