I've enjoyed most of the tower defense games I've played. The most recent one was Cubemen. It is a 3D tower defense game where your defenses are actually mobile cubemen instead of stationary towers. I played Cubemen in its single-player classic defense mode. There are 35 of these levels but no narrative thread connecting them. Cubemen has no story at all. You can skip around between levels but I played them in order. The levels are rated for difficulty from easy, medium, hard, and insane. Starting with the hard levels, things started to get interesting and sometimes frustrating. I completed all levels except for 18, 24, 32, and 35. I thought most of the levels were fair but a few seemed exceedingly difficult. Unlike some similar games, cubemen and their enemies can miss. That may be realistic but it adds an element of randomness to the game. You can play a level multiple times with the exact same strategy and unit deployment and get different outcomes. It wasn't one of my favorite tower defense game but I'm still glad I played it.
