A.I.R. Defense, developed by Colourbox and published by Chillingo, is a strategy game that combines the tower defense objective with line-drawing gameplay. There is some sort of story about alien invaders but, let’s be honest, nobody really cares about that.
In A.I.R. Defense, you purchase various fighter planes and upgrade them to ward off wave after wave of enemies in order to protect your home base. Your fighters are controlled by drawing course along the screen. They will automatically attack any enemy in range so long as they have ammunition. Different planes have different abilities, such as dropping mines or scanning for hidden enemies. Your base also has defenses that you can activate after destroying a certain number of enemies.
A.I.R. Defense can be pretty challenging. Even from the earliest levels, the game likes to throw as many enemies at you as possible. The screen will often fill up with so many vehicles and bullets and text warnings that it can be difficult to keep track of everything that is going on.
While the game is never boring, the difficulty can make it consistently frustrating. If you enjoy strategy games and are looking for something new and challenging, A.I.R. Defense might be worth the dollar they are charging for it on the App Store.
