What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Epic War TD - iPad Edition is a tower defense game that is filled with nonstop violence and blood. Players must defend a winding road that leads to their castle from wave after wave of enemy troops, which can range from vehicles to foot soldiers to giant mutant bugs. To do so, they'll have to strategically place weapon turrets along the road, which blast the enemies when they come into range. The slaughter leaves blood on the road, and some enemies scream when they're wounded.

Is It Any Good?
Tower defense games are a dime a dozen these days, but EPIC WAR TD stands out for a few reasons. The app's randomly generated enemies mean no game is ever the same. You may face a relatively light armored wave or a brutally tough one, but you never know what's coming next -- something that makes you think on your feet. There are also copious levels and waves to keep even the expert player occupied for hours. And the enemies are visually distinctive, versus the often generic waves other tower defense games use. It's gory -- and definitely not something for young kids -- but it's a mature take on an old genre that manages to make a game style that was in danger of becoming dull exciting once again.
