Robocalypse: Beaver Defense
2009 has certainly proven itself to be The Year of the Tower Defense Game. Their market saturation is matched only by their crack-addictive gameplay. Vogster is putting Robocalypse through one more go-around on the Wii with Robocalypse: Beaver Defense. (At this point I will snicker and not make jokes about the subtitle, but I will hint at the fact that there's a gradeschool-level joke there by saying that I will not make a joke. Follow?) In case you're unfamiliar with the genre, tower defense games -- and likewise, Robocalypse: Beaver Defense -- is all about strategically positioning static weapons on a battlefield and utterly annihilating any and all enemies running past their perimeter. It's like all the good parts of an RTS if your winning strategy is turtling.
Oh, I get it now. It's called "Beaver Defense" because you're building up a dam of defenses to stop the stream of enemies. It wasn't about what I was thinking at all!

May 5, 2009 - Vogster Entertainment, developers of Robocalypse™ for the Nintendo DS™, today released new screenshots from Robocalypse - Beaver Defense for Nintendo's WiiWare™ platform. Robocalypse - Beaver Defense brings the tongue-in-cheek humor and zany characters from the original Robocalypse into the world of "tower defense" gaming. The new screens feature some of the level maps, weapons and enemies players will encounter during the game's frenzied missions. Be sure to download the new screens to see the crazy action in Robocalypse - Beaver Defense firsthand.
Robocalypse - Beaver Defense will offer madcap weaponry and uproarious destruction in a tower defense-style game for the Nintendo Wii™. In the game, players will create and strategically position their defenses to annihilate waves of enemy robots, while player-controlled Hero robots will act as mobile weapons units, bringing heavy firepower to all areas of the battlefield. Weaponry varies from the deadly, such as flamethrowers and bombs, to the hilarious - including anvils from above and chainsaws, while scraps from fallen foes provide a variety of upgrades. Players can go it alone or take on up to three other would-be commanders in two multiplayer battle modes via Nintendo WiFi. With a story written by Jay Lender (of Spongebob Squarepants™ fame) and Micah Wright, Robocalypse - Beaver Defense is sure to put a smile on players' faces as they bash near-endless waves of wise-cracking robotic opponents.
