  This is a simple but fun tower defense game. Gameplay is similar to the previous game in the series, iBomber Defense, but several improvements have been made. The biggest criticism with the previous game is that gameplay became stale after 40 or so waves in a single level, and some levels were too similar to others. But in iBomber Defense Pacific there are usually only 20 or so waves per level, and each level is quite different making for better variety in gameplay. Also, there are now secondary objectives, like having to defend an oil refinery, or having to destroy enemy bunkers. Completing secondary objectives is optional but doing so earns you points to buy upgrades. To keep things fresh now you sometimes have to deal with enemy units that aren't rushing your base! Yes, sometimes enemy units will come out onto the battlefield and start shooting it out with your turrets. This becomes especially tricky if you're trying to defend a secondary objective: Should you put your limited resources into defending your base or defending the secondary objective? Another improvement is that now you can drop bombs on the battlefield. Bombs are a limited use item that are gradually replenished over time. Since you'll only get a few you need to make sure each one counts. Should you use them to thin out the ranks of the baddies rushing your base? Use them to blow open supply crates to get extra resources? Use them to kill that enemy battleship that's parked outside the range of your turrets? Use them to destroy a target to complete a secondary objective? Use them to destroy the secret enemy base hidden in most levels to get bonus upgrade points? Or just start randomly dropping them on buildings to revel in sheer destruction? There are a ton of tactical choices to make! If you like tower defense games you owe it to yourself to check out iBomber Defense Pacific!

  I normally dont complain about 5 dollar games......but, there is way to much random stuff happening around the map making it impossible to strategize on a first play through. I repeatedly find myself playing through a map just to see what unexpected things will be thrown at me so I can play it again with a better idea of what needs to be done. This alone ruined the game for me! As far as gameplay goes, I have no complaints. I love the upgrade and level system, as well as the graphics and sounds.

  They definitely learned from the first one on many things. For starters the campaign, once you complete a mission you can go back to it any time to get a higher score or the secondary or hidden objective. The speed up button, unlike the first game it actually speeds things up, and makes that 40 waves go by so much quicker. The addition of other weapons were sorely needed, I found the bombs most useful, but the flamethrower is great as well. The dig in featue is great, but not for every situation. Unlike last time, because of being able to play any mission completed in the campaign there is no quick play. Instead you get 2 Bonus missions which are cool but not a big deal. I rated the first one 5/10. This is definitly the better overall game. It feels like they tried to boil down what they wanted tower defence to be and refine it from the first one. 7/10 only because I feel there isn't much long term replay grab it if it goes on sale

  OH SNAP MICROMANAGEMENT ORGY! This is a sick and twisted expansion to what was a masochistic, tedious, uninspired, and broken original. Like extreme micromanagement and clicking 6000 times per level? This might be your thing, if you also enjoy "connecting the dots" of the "strategy" the fools that made this rubbish desire. This game requires no strategy whatsoever, it's purely a puzzle tower defense where you have to build the right sequence of towers at the right times and in the right places, but now the expansion introduces a twist: NOW YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON THE RIGHT PART OF THE SCREEN AT THE RIGHT TIME TOO!! Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to add repetitive micro to this linear slog? The art style and presentation is hugely improved from the original game but the core gameplay is as broken, linear, and rubbish as ever.

  If you like tower defense games that are focused on the Towers then this is your game. It is a simple one. While you are not running around and shooting things like you are in sanctum you still have to stay on your toes and keep those towers up!

  Very fun game, had it on my phone about 5 years ago. Pros: +fun. +kills a few hours of time. Cons: +does randomly freeze or cannons don't work till you restart the mission. I could see this as pretty cool co-op team working game. (maybe a future game like this could include it?) Pretty cheap in the sales. But still worth the full price. 8/10 solid.

  PC port of boring TD game. The game is pretty old now, but I am pretty sure even in 2012 it was extremely boring. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1388834822 I realized It is a boring game in the first level. OK, I forced myself to reach 6th level and nothing changed. Same enemies, same 4 towers. Enemies attack towers, but no tower is destroyed for all level. Repair price equals a price of new building. Low money income from enemies. Huge balance problems with no way to understand how you need to play, because there is absolutely no info about damage/health and etc. I played 6 missions and they were played the same way (only maps were changed). I found no fun there. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1388834782 Pros - Cheap game Cons - Mobile game - Boring - Bad graphics - No info for damage/health and etc - Enemies with no abilities - Linear and repetitive gameplay - Secondary objectives are impossible https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1388834882 [h1]Resume[/h1] A typical TD game with no interesting features with absolutely linear gameplay. I can't recommend it.

  If you like tower defense games, this one has some novel features in it. Gameplay is extremely fun. You fend off attack waves from ground, air, and water.. Some of the cool features in this game are that there are more than one route that the enemy travels to get to you, forcing you to focus on choke points first and develop out from there. There are bonuses to blow up on the map, including secrets. All units can be developed into beefier units, but also include a feature called 'Dig In' - this allows you to opt out of 360 degree attack capabilities for a cone of attack, but with greater range. You can build bomb towers to give you bombs that can work on land or water. You can construct support towers that extend the range of units in their area of effect. There are ambush attacks and other special combat scenarios, such as enemy return fire that make the game more than just a straight tower defense game. You earn points to increase maximum capability from your towers at the end of the round, depending on how well you do, PLUS you earn perks as rewards for things like 'number of bullets spent' or 'number of times you repair'.. all of these perk progressions are tracked so you can see how far along you are until the next unlock. All in all, I would have to say this is a great little tower defense game and I picked it up for $2. Awesome!
