Best reviewed blends the source score with rating volume. Release order is oldest first, and A–Z is title order. Unusually high scores with very small samples are treated as uncorroborated outliers until more players weigh in.

Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Defensive strategy centered on placing, upgrading, and combining fixed or semi-fixed defenses against enemies traveling through lanes or approach routes.

Include when

Assign Tower Defense when defensive strategy centered on placing, upgrading, and combining fixed or semi-fixed defenses against enemies traveling through lanes or approach routes. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Tower Defense from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
