Dillon's Rolling Western Last Ranger
SCORE: 72
I had no idea what to expect from Dillon's
Rolling Western Last Ranger. I knew it was a tower defense game with
action elements. Beyond that I was really unclear what this game was
like, and what it was about. The western theme in this downloadable
Nintendo 3DS game helps it stand apart from other action tower defense
games.
We have a quiet armadillo character who is in charge of defending these
towns. The first town has these pig like creatures that we need to
defend. Later we have to defend things like moving trains. Which towers
need weapons, and where to roll your character become very strategic in
Dillon's Rolling Western Last Ranger.
I did say roll our main character right? Anyone in Family Friendly
Gaming Nation curious about that? We slide the stylus on the touch
screen from the top to the bottom. Then we let go to have our main
character roll across the Wild Wild West. This same action is used in
mining, and fighting.
There are two main phases in Dillon's Rolling Western Last Ranger. We go
around the game play area and set up the towers. We also can find items,
and mine. When the end of the day is reached the bad guys (usually these
ugly stone creatures) will start to attack.
When we make contact with an enemy during the attack we are brought into
a battle screen. We use the same pull back, hold, and then let go to
attack them. Everything in Dillon's Rolling Western Last Ranger happens
real time. So when we are battling one group of enemies, all the other
groups are moving towards their destination.
The better the player protects an area, the more rewards they are
provided with at the end. Dillon's Rolling Western Last Ranger allows
for multiple practices if you want to get good at it before doing it for
real. Going upstairs in the tavern will end the day, and let you save
your game.
All in all I found Dillon's Rolling Western Last Ranger to be a
pleasurable experience. It takes a different approach to the tower
defense genre, and we really spend more time doing the defending
ourselves. Dillon's Rolling Western Last Ranger follows this old phrase:
"the best defense is a really good offense."
