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. One of the many series that innovated is the Vector TD series. Let's look at the first game.

To play Vector TD, simply run the game with whatever SWF player you have.

There are eight maps to pick in the beginning - four normal difficulty maps and four harder maps. You just need toclick Load map and then start playing out your strategy by laying out the towers you have available in the beginning.

There are four types of towers - green, red, purple, and blue. Each type works differently on the incoming creeps, and each color has different strengths and weaknesses. Most of your towers are laser weapons, but the most advanced red towers send out rockets and blue towers emit rays that slow down the enemy. 

Last but not least, there is also an interest mechanic where you earn more money the more you hold at the end of each wave, encouraging you to find a balance between holding and spending.

All in all, this is a fantastic tower defense game. You need to give Vector TD a try if you like the genre.
