ReignMaker - Tower defense and puzzle in the mix
ReignMaker will be released in April sometime.
I have seen and played many puzzle and tower defense games throughout the years. But i can´t say that i´ve seen that many games that has been a combo of those two genres. But that just happens to be the case with Frogdice´s "ReignMaker".
I have to say that the trailer made me quite curious. Well, luckily enough ReignMaker will soon be here!
