While nothing entirely new or original, Beware Planet Earth is implemented well and is genuinely fun to play with the different aliens while unlocking new equipment and weapons.Trainer Title:: Beware Planet Earth +2 Trainer - LinGon What Lightmare Studio have managed to do is mimic other great tower defence games and add their own spin on the genre.

Perhaps all a little too familiar to that other game I’ve already mentioned but it is a different subject matter at least. The humour is unmistakable, if not a little cliché at times, but the bright and cheerfully well-drawn cartoon characters and scenery are more than pleasing on the eye. It’s little things like this throughout Beware Planet Earth that make it such fun to play. When I first saw the cows wearing drinking hats I laughed. Oblivious to the constant alien threat that thwarts your every placement of the equipment designed to protect them. They stand on a little bank of grass, munching, chewing and looking generally content with the world.

What this does mean though is that anyone feeling the need for challenge will definitely find it here. While lowering the difficultly would mean it was well, easier, I felt Beware Planet Earth became more fun because of it. The game begins with the difficulty turned up to its highest setting from the outset, and initially I found this a little too easy, but it soon beat me and I had to lower it. Every few levels a new type will appear with different abilities and skills to overcome in your fight to keep your cows safe. If you destroy an enemy carrying a cow, then the cow happily walks itself back home to its field, unless there is another alien to pick it up en-route.Īliens are nicely varied and some are a real pain, but in a good way. Here they have to carry one of your cows back to where they landed, and the alien and the cow are beamed up into the ship. Unlike other tower defence games, the impact to you and your cause isn’t once the aliens reach the end of the path and attack your base. Scepticism remained with me for about two levels and soon I was whooping and laughing, or at least mildly excited to see what the next level would unveil.Īliens make their way from their mothership to your tiny herd. It has all the hallmarks of a tower defence game, but no early indication why you would want to play it over something else. From the outset it just seemed to be a Plants vs Zombies clone, albeit with a few twists and a singular winding path. Fend off wave after wave of alien invaders. Place barbecues and hydrants that shoot fire to protect your herd. Save the cows! Listen to a man whom you never see. Picking up Beware Planet Earth I really had no idea what I was letting myself in for or whether I’d be won over by it.Ĭows.

Pixel Junk Monsters has also seen many hours of my enjoyment playing co-op with my family and also rates very high in my favourite games of all-time. With its comical mischief and humour coupled with simple but-down-right-tricky gameplay it is arguably the pinnacle of tower defence games.

Without a doubt, one of my favourite games to appear on a mobile format has to be a certain tower defence game known to millions as Plants vs Zombies.
