Limited Defense is a challenging strategic tower defense game that puts your resource management and tactical planning skills to the test. With a unique twist on the classic tower defense formula, players must defend their base with limited resources and carefully planned defenses against waves of increasingly powerful enemies.
Game Overview
Limited Defense combines traditional tower defense gameplay with resource constraints that force players to make strategic decisions. Unlike many tower defense games that allow unlimited building as long as you have currency, Limited Defense restricts the number of defensive structures you can place. This limitation creates an engaging puzzle-like experience where tower placement and upgrade decisions become critical to survival.
How to Play
The control scheme for Limited Defense is straightforward and intuitive:
- Mouse click: Select and place towers, activate abilities
- Number keys (1-5): Quick select different tower types
- Upgrade button: Enhance existing towers
- Play/Pause button: Control wave progression
The objective is to prevent enemy units from reaching your base by strategically placing defensive towers along their path. Each tower has unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, requiring you to create a balanced defense system with your limited resources.
Game Features
Limited Resources System
The game's standout feature is the restriction on how many defensive structures you can build. This forces players to consider quality over quantity and make strategic decisions about tower placement.
Diverse Tower Types
Choose from a variety of defensive structures including rapid-fire turrets, area-of-effect cannons, slowing towers, and specialized enemy-type counters. Each tower serves a specific role in your defensive strategy.
Strategic Upgrade Paths
Towers can be upgraded along different specialization paths, allowing you to adapt your defense to specific enemy types or create balanced units that handle multiple threats.
Dynamic Enemy Waves
Face increasingly difficult waves of enemies with varying speeds, health points, and special abilities. Some enemies may be resistant to certain tower types, requiring adaptable strategies.
Tips and Strategies
- Focus on upgrading key towers rather than building many basic ones
- Place slowing towers at the beginning of enemy paths to maximize damage time
- Create choke points where multiple towers can target enemies simultaneously
- Save some resources for unexpected enemy types in later waves
- Balance between specialized towers and general-purpose defenses
FAQ
What makes Limited Defense different from other tower defense games?
The key difference is in the name—you have a limited number of defensive structures you can build, making each placement decision more impactful. This creates a more strategic experience compared to games where you can simply overwhelm enemies with numerous towers.
How do I deal with flying enemies?
Flying enemies typically bypass ground defenses, so you'll need to invest in anti-air towers. Look for towers with the capability to target flying units, and place them strategically to cover as much of your territory as possible.
What's the best strategy for early waves?
In early waves, focus on building a balanced defense rather than specializing. A mix of slowing towers and damage dealers will handle most early threats. Save your limited slots for specialized defenses once you identify the enemy patterns in later waves.
Should I upgrade existing towers or build new ones?
Generally, upgrading existing towers is more efficient than building new basic towers. However, if you encounter enemy types that your current defenses aren't effective against, it may be worth sacrificing a tower to build a specialized counter.
How do I earn three stars on difficult levels?
To achieve perfect ratings, you'll typically need to complete levels without letting any enemies reach your base. This requires optimizing tower placement for maximum coverage and carefully timing upgrades to handle each wave's specific threats.
