Crystal defenders is pretty dry and aiming for top score without actually clearing a level gets old. May I ask if there is a plot or ending of sorts?

But I'm a bit disappointed with the available jobs. I think it would have been cool had there been a summoner, or maybe even "hero" jobs, but the game doesn't appear to have a story to support the presence of heroes. Anyway I'm pretty sure the price will stay forever at 4.99 so waiting for a price cut is not advisable. I'm still waiting for a real turn-based strategy game reminiscent of Final Fantasy Tactics and Front Mission 3. It perfectly suits the iPhone/iPod Touch. In fact there should be as many TD games as turn-based strategy games on the App Store. Those 2 genres handle quite the same and are perfect for the device.

Beat all 10 levels by this afternoon. After which, a Hard Mode opens up... which is more about HP management than anything else. I played through the first 4 levels in Hard Mode before I realized it's just more of the same. Worth maybe 2.99, not $4.99. Just saying. Fun game, just very short (and quite easy).

I also don't like how frantic it is to shuffle your characters around before a turn passes. There seems to be an extremely low margin for error and an equally extremely short amount of time allowed to get into position. Too quick for me. =\ I really liked it, though it was a bit difficult for me. I also don't like how frantic it is to shuffle your characters around before a turn passes.

I would love to see someone use close to the same concept but a indie company that will add new content to the game which I doubt Square Enix will.
