Cool GRave Defence

Great graphics, challenging gameplay, high score leaderboards, and while the free/lite version is fun, the full game is less than $2. A pretty nice tower defense game all around, I'm enjoying it immensely.

I tried it... wasn't really all that interesting. Random paths for creeps means you can't develop a strategy. Instead you frantically build towers where the next wave enters the level. I uninstalled it. I have quite a few better tower defense games already.

Still waiting for a game as good as Sentinel and Sentinel 2 (iOS tower defense games).

Right on, hydralisk.

I myself really like the random paths. It's not as if they are completely random, though. Each wave has a predefined path, but I find the varying paths make the game more challenging. It really does require a bit of trial and error to find the best strategy to defend against all possible paths, but that doesn't bother me in the least. It seems like the devs change paths from time to time with updates to give the game some legs, which I also like.

I have become Grave Defence fan since 1.0 version. Guess it was in Dec 2009 or so That time they had one path monsters can go.

Now I can say the game is much more interesting with all those different directions and maps and additional features.
The Gold ver update was issued recently which is awesome with all those kamikazes and mines and nets guns etc

By the way they've got maps with one path, which are not as easy to beat :P

Hi FreedomCaster,
Yes, level 8 is finishable. I began to wonder after 2 days of no success.
If you still need help, which wave are you up to?

I've had to start over in the game a few times. Gotten passed level 5 twice..but stuck again . Never got passed 8..6 and 7 are quite easy. Wish it had a level select for levels you've beaten. We need a page just for some strategy tips

@Eric,
Why do not you use 'Last Level' menu option?
It lets you to start from the level you could not pass last time.

It took me like 15 tries to beat level 8, so I used that menu all the time.
I can not imagine I had to go over level 1-7 again and again to reach level 8 each time

On level 8 you have to sell the flame tower in the lower left corner to buy the air tower, then you buy your flame back when you have the money.

Level 8 looks fun, but I've been stuck on 7 for quite a while, can't seem to get past the frankenstien. Any pointers for 7?

Thumbs up Level 8

J0hnH0lmes has it right: sell the lower left flamer in wave 7, use the cash to buy a harpoon, place it in the center. Buy two more harpoons, place them in the lower section. Then, before wave 11, buy a harpoon and a flamer. Place the harpoon at top center, and place the flamer back in the lower left.

After that, buy a freezer and place it in the lower part.

At least, that's how I beat level 8.

Thumbs up

Nice. Looks interesting, though curious how a defense game works with unpredictable AI. I'm still working on Guns'n'glory and have a lot o fun with it. Will add Grave Defense to the review-queue. Thanks for the tip!

There are other Android tower defense games, such as Plants vs Zombies that are fun, but nothing like the experience of playing Grave Defense. The real reason for my post is getting a sense of whether all of the levels can be completed when at the insane level of difficulty. For example in Level 19, you can kill off waves of flying bats with a single Tesla Coil for the first few waves at the Casual level, but at the insane level, it takes two Tesla coils to do the same thing, and if the waves of bats don't wrap far enough around the coils, they are seriously wounded, but not killed. It just seems to take a lot more power to kill off the monsters at the insane level, and if there's not enough power that can be purchased through killing off the monsters to kill the remaining waves, the level cannot be completed.

One of the valuable lessons I learned was that Tesla Coils are often an excellent way to deal with waves of bats and other monsters. They lose their effectiveness with later waves that require much more to kill, but can solve scenarios that seem almost impossible otherwise. Try locating a Tesla Coil beside a Freezer so that monsters move more slowly around the coil.

What bothers me is the ****ing kamakazi zombies. What the **** is the point. I emailed the developer today to see if he's keeping or taking it away in the next update because its next to impossible to get passed some levels which in turn is a massive turn off. I love the game but its a game breaker

The Kamikazis make it interesting. You definitely can deal with them with a little effort. The obvious most useful weapon is mines. If you know where the kamikazis are going to enter, you don't put valuable resources nearby and you figure out where to put the mines you'll use to blow them up. I've also found that fully matured cannons can shoot them at a distance and destroy them before they have a chance to do any damage. The castle is the most difficult level I found for kamikazes, and only for the ones that enter at the top right of the play area. It is difficult to avoid losing good resources when they are blown up, but I've beat the Castle level, with its kamikazis, on the insane level of difficulty. The only one I still have not conquered is level 19 at insane difficulty, and I'll admit that level 20, the new one, is giving me some fits.

I've managed to beat every level in insane mode of the HD version except level 7 of the gold mission. Any tips on that one?

One sneaky thing I figured out is to use Titanium Backup to save the game. Then if I screw up, I just restore the data only, resume the game, and I'm back where I was without having to re-do everything. It's very helpful in insane mode on some of the longer levels.

Level 7 is surprisingly difficult, because you are so limited in resources and at insane difficulty it takes so much more damage to kill the monsters. I lost my GD history when I changed Android versions, so I can't verify that I beat level 7 on insane difficulty, but I thought I went through all the levels up to 19 at insane difficulty. I still have not managed to beat level 19 at insane difficulty. Your technique of backing up is a good one that I had not thought about. I lost many hours going over the same steps at insane difficulty to get to the point where new tactics could be tried and picking up a saved state would have been really useful.

I beat level 7 at insane difficulty tonight. The answer for me was using a rocket launcher from the beginning and creating as many upgraded vulcans as I could. I found if I could keep the first zombie from reaching the exit, I was basically OK. I stayed with the combination of vulcans and rocket launchers until about wave 18 when I created a couple of cannons to give some added destructive punch. The rocket launchers seem to recharge a lot faster than cannons, thus work better at the start of the level.

Thanks for the info. I eventually was able to beat it (just barely) using mostly the simple guns all over the place.

I wish they would let you have every type of weapon on every level. The newest bonus level in version 1.4 is impossible in insane mode. I've been trying for 2 days straight.

Default Grave Defense-deleting scores

I love Grave Defense, I am a total addict. I would like to know if anyone knows how to delete my scores so I can start playing all over again?

I have tried everything I can think of but the scores still remain.

Thanks

Default Delete scores?

You can play any level over again regardless of the score that's on record, so you don't really need to delete scores. If you really want to go back to the start, you want to delete the data for the app and you can typically do that under Settings | Applications | Manage Applications.
