Tower defense games are quite popular on Android. On the one hand, it is a type of strategic game that is played very well on the touch screen of a mobile phone, and it also allows for quick games that you can enjoy at any time you have free during the day.
Most tower defense games for Android have very similar mechanics. What you have to do is place your weapons, traps and gadgets along the way while different waves of enemies arrive. The goal is to strategically place your resources so that enemy battalions are defeated before they reach your tower. As you pass levels, you will be able to improve your equipment and skills, while the enemy hordes are increasingly implacable.
The best tower defense games for Android
Tower defense games were very popular in the early years of Android, as they brought a depth and complexity that was unusual in mobile games at the time. Currently the genre has declined a bit, but it still has quite a pull, with some titles as remarkable as the ones we review below.
Mini TD 2
Normally tower defense games can be a bit stressful, and this Mini TD 2 is looking for the opposite. With a pastel-colored setting, we must protect the blue labyrinth from the red invaders, but all in a relaxed environment without too much tension.
The game has 50 levels that can be unlocked without any kind of microtransaction, and both the music and the setting add great value to the whole thing.

Bad North
Although it is not categorized as a typical tower defense game, Bad North has a certain aroma that fits perfectly in this list. It is a real-time strategy roguelike game where we will have to position our troops to defend a series of besieged islands.
It has a unique aesthetic with high-quality minimalist illustrations, and being set in Norse mythology, everything is impregnated with a most evocative aroma. And a lot of fog.

Defenders 2
A tower defense game that combines elements of collectible card games. The funny thing is that here you will unlock the towers as you get certain cards. All the things that we unlock can be used later in the game, which makes everything much more interesting.

Bloons Adventure Time TD
If you don’t want to spend 8 euretes on the latest Bloons, instead you can take a look at this cross between the franchise and the Adventure Time cartoons. Here instead of defeating enemies we will have to explode waves of balloons, which is very good if you don’t like violence or you plan to install the game for your young children.
In any case, the title complies with note both in the artistic section and in the playable, where we find the typical mechanics of Bloons games, with more than 50 maps and 200 weapons available.
