Tower Defense games have generally fallen out of favor in the mainline gaming industry in the 21st century. There are very few tower defense games in the AAA market, and even if they're there, it's usually as part of a gimmick or a minigame. Thus, Flash games have had time to refine and innovate on the formula by themselves. Let's look at one of the many flash games that tried to mix things up - Hordes of Hordes.

To play Hordes of Hordes, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

This is one of the tower defenses where you build your own path. You have to build a maze to stop the enemies from reaching the exit of the area. The one problem I have with the general gameplay is the fact that there isn't an undo button, which makes it so that you're pretty much screwed unless you restart the level. Another small issue is that there isn't a mute button for the background music that, while good, nevertheless gets grating after a while.

However, the game has a very interesting variety of traps, spells, and towers to unleash upon your foes. It's also fairly well-balanced and gives you a ton of different strategies, such as setting up a ton of mana boosters to sling magic around or utilize some more traditional means such as soldiers and archers.

All in all, Hordes of Hordes is a fantastic tower defense game that should please fans of the genre.
