Defense Grid

The last level is all about the route, I had a route so, so, so long it was frankly awesome.

Also cannons and teslas - it's the future I tells ya!
 
Teslas are not bad though seems to be quite a bit of aliens which have resistance, BUT they can affect nearby aliens causing them to be injured too

rhinos drive me right up the wall !
 
I generally use a combination of gun towers, temporals, cannons and infernos. Every now and then I will throw a meteor or a laser in there.

The leaderboard is back up now after being down due to the steam sale and the influx of new players it brought. The way to get high scores is to bank as much interest as possible without them getting to the cores. You can overbuild which means you wont lose cores but you will gain less interest.
 
Protip: Level 3 gun tower > pretty much anything for the most part. I've got gold on every map except the last, and I only used cannons a few times and meteors once.
 
The cannons are ace once upgraded and yea their range is a life saver if you place 1/2 near entry & exit points. Getting the cannon only achievement was soo easy - even the rhinos went down very quickly and thats despite not having any temporals!
The same can be said of meteors - their range is great for those last second kills at the exit points :D
 
The thing to remember about teslas is they are AREA OF EFFECT weapons.

Bear this in mind -- and stop thinking 'well it didn't hurt that specific alien much' -- and they are awesome. basically about twice as good as a 'inferno' at [weaker] masses of aliens ..
 
Added. Its just a case of clicking on leaderboard next to medals. Give it a few secs to load though as it's under heavy load atm.
 
Yea the line of sight thing is kinda annoying - just when you could do with that big level 3 cannon firing at the alien it can't cos it can't "see" the alien directly ... that's where indirect fire weapons like the Meteor and the Consussion are good!
 
Much as I love this game, the flaky leaderboard pinging is beginning to get really annoying.

I know, I know: they've been overwhelmed by new players after the christmas deals.

It just wouldn't seem so bad if they had a little "contacting server, please wait..." type message. Or a temporary offline leaderboard that gets downloaded in the background during a first play. Anything other than a blank leaderboard.

Graaaaaarrrrr!!

Oh, I feel better for that.

Anyway, steam profile thingy: http://steamcommunity.com/id/simisker edited to ID URL

i bought this in the sales too, initially avoided it but then it was cheap so i thought why not. i've never played a tower defence game before so was a bit clueless to start with and for a couple of the levels I've had no idea how to approach them (and looked at youtube videos *blush*), others I've golded straight away. it is very addictive though!

i think the mainstay of any defense are gun towers and cannons. everything else is really situational. the seeker aliens really annoys me, i keep shouting at my towers to shoot the bloody seeker and not the alien it spawned! that's my only annoyance really, i'd sometimes like the towers to concentrate on 1 target rather than switch between 10.
