Tower defense games have been done to death on smartphones over the last few years, so it takes something really special in that genre to get our attention nowadays. Telling us there's a tower defense game developed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of the Final Fantasy series? That's certainly one way to pique our interest.
When word first hit that Hironobu Sakaguchi would be bringing his considerable talents to mobile devices, legions of gamers found themselves sitting on the edge of their seat. What sprawling, majestic epic would he create? This was the creative genius who birthed the Final Fantasy franchise, after all. And then it happened; that first "epic" was actually an arcade-style surfing game called Party Wave.
