Critical reception[edit]
The game has a Metacritic score of 85% based on 13 critic reviews.[1]
AppSafari said it was 'A fun iPhone app to play and one I will definitely keep. '[2] TouchArcade said 'I can't say enough about Tiny Heroes. It's a fantastic game, with few flaws to speak of. Challenging, but rarely frustrating, it had me returning to levels again and again to improve my score. By turning genre conventions on their heads, Tiny Heroes succeeds brilliantly. '[3] SlideToPlay wrote 'Though it has a few quirks, Tiny Heroes provides one of the best experiences in dungeon crawling this side of a Game Master's screen. '[4] Appgamer wrote 'I cannot recommend Tiny Heroes enough, its brilliant art work and gameplay is supreme in the tower defence genre. The only thing missing is a sound track, but it's odd that while playing this superb game won't miss a sound track at all. '[5] GamePro wrote 'Tiny Heroes is an excellent game, but with a few caveats: there's no iPad version (and this would be perfect for an iPad), placing traps/weapons precisely can be difficult, and sometimes the levels are just too hard. '[6] Level7.nu wrote 'A fun tower defense-game, where you play as the bad guys, trying to stop the heroes from stealing your treasures by using monster, magic and traps. '[7] AppSpy said 'With the glut of tower defense games on the App Store, it can be hard to stand out, but a decent premise backed up by solid gameplay can do wonders for making your mark. '[8] AppSpy said 'Mixing elements of Plants vs. Zombies with variable path mechanics and clever AI, Tiny Heroes brings frustratingly fun gameplay to a medieval setting. '[9] Wired said 'Tiny Heroes draws its charm from all the chaos. There's always something to do; you'll constantly be throwing down new traps and replacing old ones at a frenetic pace. It's challenging and fun. '[10] 148Apps wrote 'Fans of defense games and the geoDefense series will enjoy this. '[11] Gamezebo wrote 'If you're a fan of tower defense games but have grown tired of the same ol' TD experience, Tiny Heroes delivers that something special you've been holding out for. '[12] Pocketgameruk said 'Well produced and highly addictive, Tiny Heroes will find favour with fans of the genre – providing they don't expect anything startlingly original. '[13] tap! said 'Sure, it's yet another tower defence game, but a surprisingly fresh and delightful one. '[14]

Game DescriptionTower Defense Players Will Love This Game!
In Master of Defense, you are tasked with building towers to defend your citizens. Waves of monsters will travel along a route to attack your people. Your job is to buy and place defensive towers along the route to destroy the attackers.
Carefully place ground attack towers, magical towers to destroy air units, or plant towers that can attack either with lesser power. Once the towers are placed, you can spend money to upgrade them which will extend their range, damage, and firing speed. The more citizens you save after every monster raid, the more gold you get to spend on towers and upgrades.
Spend Experience Points for Better Upgrades
As you advance through the levels you will gain experience points to be spent on defensive upgrades. Improve firing speed, range, and damage of your towers. Get more gold from citizens or improve citizen defense against monsters if some get past your towers.
You can even buy special magic upgrades for new towers and defenses. Ice magic will let you build ice towers that can freeze enemies making them easier to hit. Fire magic lets you build fires that monsters have to walk through and take damage. Poison magic gives poison damage to your plant towers making them more deadly.
The great thing about all experience upgrades is they persist to the next level. Once you buy them, you don't lose them unless you choose to cash them in.
Master of Defense is an absorbing game that lets you focus on 1 crucial component of real time military strategy. It is simple but fun and the upgrades are a blast to get.
Play Survival Mode for a Greater Challenge
Think you are hot stuff in your defensive strategy? Just try out Survival mode and see if you can make it past raid 150. If you do, you can truly call yourself a Master of Defense.
So what are you waiting for? Go fry some monsters!
Master of Defense Review
- Review by Mick
The people of your town are relying on you to defend them from the hordes of reapers, dragons and wizards that are marching on the town. In Master of Defense, you must build towers along the road to defend your town. Air, ground and combination towers must be placed strategically to prevent the evil monsters from reaching the innocent civilians. Wave after wave will test your ability to defend using nothing but towers in this tower defense (TD) game.
Medieval Tower Defense
This TD game uses the common medieval theme for the setting and styling. In six different locations you must place towers along a twisting road that leads to your village/castle(depends on the map). Monsters will then walk/fly along the road and attempt to make it to your townsfolk. Monsters will come in waves with gaps in between each wave. Each level has a set number of waves that ranges by the level. You can also choose to play the survival mode that will test your abilities with 150 waves of increasingly difficult monsters. The graphics are far above the standard. Each level is well detailed and fully 3D. The towers are all unique and change as you upgrade them.
Upgradeable Towers
Most TD game standards are in Master of Defense. You will have three towers to start with, air, ground, and combination air/ground. Later you will gain an air balloon that drops bombs. For each monster you kill you will be awarded gold that can be used to purchase more towers or upgrade existing towers. On top of gold, you will also receive experience points. Experience points can be used to upgrade various aspects of gameplay as well as unlock special abilities. You can upgrade Plant towers with a poison effect, upgrade the damage done by all your towers, and unlock an Ice tower. At the end of each wave you will be awarded gold for remaining villagers. If any monster makes it to the town it will kill villagers. Once all your villagers are dead the game is over.
Boss Monsters Can Be Tough
Regular monsters get harder as the level progresses but occasionally a wave consists of one monster with a large amount of health. These monsters are nearly impossible to kill and wreak havoc on your town killing 10 or more villagers. When you only have 100 villagers to get through all 6 levels this can be very frustrating. That brings about another issue, there is no way to replenish your villagers. Once they are dead they are gone until the end of the game. While this makes the game challenging it can also make the game nearly impossible to beat for newcomers.
Conclusion - Entertaining Tower of Defense Game
Master of Defense is a great TD game. While it does have a few issues the graphics and challenging levels will make it interesting for even the best TD players. Upgrading you towers to keep up with the enemies expanding health meters means you have to use your gold strategically and place your towers well. Anyone can play this game and enjoy, but newcomers will need some practice before they can beat the game entirely.
