1st Impressions

1 Paper War is a tower defense game. If you are expecting the graphics of Filed Runners, this isn’t it. But in a way, the simplified hand-drawn graphics allows you to concentrate on game play and not get distracted.

Game play is what you would expect from a TD title. You have towers, turrents, missle launchers, and radars to use against the tanks and planes trying to get through. Placement of these items is a bit off-set from where you touch. Thus gives you a clear view of the exact placement on the grid.

My one big suggestion would be in game escalation of difficulty. Even on easy mode, it seems to start out with heave tanks and not enough money to progress very far. My son got quite far in it, and it seemed to get very easy at the point that you had a couple of radars and large guns. I would love to see this a bit more balanced. My only other suggestion would be descriptions on the selected towers. There are air defenses and ground defenses and part of my problem is that I could not keep them straight.

While I had no problems, my son had severel crashes. For that reason, I would suggest a restart after the install.

This $0.99 game (originally $2.99) should be checked out by fans of the TD genre. There are better ones out, but there a lot worse as well. A lite version is available as well.
