WiiWare’s Best Value: The First ‘120 Seconds’ of ‘Defend Your Castle’

The first week of our “120 Seconds” experiment is coming to a close. While we were intrigued by the first minutes of “LostWinds,” today we have an example of a game whose early moments may not be the best representation of just how intense it later becomes in a matter of a few levels…

Defend Your Castle” was released earlier this week in the initial batch of WiiWare titles for the rock-bottom price of five dollars. While the actual gameplay may be a bit on the shallow side, you can never really underestimate just how fun the repetitive motion of flicking away little button head figures can be until you give it a chance.


It may start off slow, but if you give it a little while, the insanity really kicks in. Call it a learning curve, but by the time you get to level 15 and above, blinking becomes your worst enemy.
