I remember playing Dugeon Defenders on XBOX 360 when I was younger and how I rather enjoyed it. This... this game does everything Dungeon Defenders has... except BETTER.

For starters there are 7 new heroes to choose from with new tower types. These include creating a volcano to rain meteors down on the many goblins and orcs you will fight and summoning skeletal remains of the ones you kill.

Next, you can switch between 4 heroes DURING BUILD AND COMBAT PHASES. Something the first game didn't have. This is a very nice touch if you want to solo but need those towers from others or you need to take care of a certain enemy. For example, you are a Squire and Wyverns are approaching. Since they fly over defenses and go straight for the core, a sword would have GREAT trouble killing them, however you can switch to a hero that has ranged attacks and deal with them relatively easily.

Also, the hud from the previous game has been changed dramatically and looks much more cleaner and easier to see what everything is.

Lastly, there are MUCH MORE enemy types. There's enemies which heal others whilst also dealing damage and there's crystal beasts which run towards defenses and then burrow into the ground, reducing their defense whilst regenerating heath, making it easier for enemies to destroy your defenses and overwhelm you.

Oh, and the devs of Terraria joined up with Trendy Entertainment to collaborate and add the Dryad from Terraria into DD2, with Terraria enemies as the towers she can use.

Overall, a great game to play with friends (and even randoms)! Would definitely recommend to any tower defense fans!
