Amazon Free App of the Day: Fieldrunners HD

Today, in the Amazon Appstore, users can pick up the game Fieldrunners HD for free. I hate to say it, but Fieldrunners HD is just another Tower Defense game that isn’t Plants vs Zombies. Tower defense games are a time-honored tradition in gaming but one that has been done so many times that it’s hard to get excited over another one – even one with the solid visual aspects of Fieldrunners.

For what it’s worth, Fieldrunners has one several prestigious awards in mobile gaming so for a tower defense game, it’s definitely one of the best.

Choose from seven towers, each with its own special weaponry, and unleash a medley of destruction. You’ll start small, maybe with the Gatling Tower, and work your way up to the Mortar Tower, delivering ultimate destructive powers via the nuke.

With a bird’s-eye view of your field, strategically place your towers where you believe they’ll be most effective. Drag and drop them from the menu to your field. Replace a tower by tapping it and then selling it for cash.

Earn more points and more cash by preventing enemies from crossing the grassy field and infiltrating your base. Lose a life for each fieldrunner that penetrates your defenses.

All in all, it wouldn’t hurt to pick this one up today from Amazon as it is entirely free but if you’ve played a few tower defense games before, unfortunately this one doesn’t bring anything terribly exciting to the table aside from the attractive graphics.
