Defense Grid: The Awakening is a Tower Defense game developed and published by Hidden Path Entertainment. It was released for the PC in December 2008 and Xbox Live Arcade in September 2009.Over a thousand years ago, an Alien Invasion on your planet was beaten back. Now, the aliens are invading again, and your world is in peril. They've besieged your city, cutting you off from your home. In the nearby ruins of an old military base, you find a dusty terminal and reawaken an ancient Artificial Intelligence—who, in reality, is the very general of the previous war! After the war his brain was uploaded into the planetary defense grid, in case the aliens ever returned.With the help of General Fletcher, you've jumped into the command chair to re-awaken the grid and Save the World.Hidden Path gave the sequel, Defense Grid 2, the Kickstarter treatment. Though they didn't get enough money to fund it, the project was funded by Ascended Fanboy Steven Dengler, who also helped co-produce various Double Fine projects. It was finally released on September 2014, with 505 Games as the publisher. | |

Unstable Equilibrium | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: If you design a very efficient layout minimizing cost, the unused energy generates interests, in turn making the game easier as you'll eventually reach a Money for Nothing point. If however, your defense is hard-pressed, you won't have much help from the interest rate. In addition, unreturned cores (which also lower said rate) are harder to defend so the next wave of enemies gets more dangerous than it should be with a static defense, relay-races with cores are common and pestering in that scenario. | |

Story Reversed: The aliens' paths through the level is reversed. Poison Core: You get only one core, but it damages whatever alien holds on to it. You don't get any resources from core-killed enemies, however. Fully Loaded: All tower types are available if the standard Story mode for this level doesn't have them all available. Out of Bullets: You can't use Gun or Cannon towers. | |

Concussion serves as Close-Range Combatant dealing constant damage to anything withing its range, extremely effective against large groups of small enemies that can diverge the attention of other towers. However, it fares poorly against heavily armored enemies like the Crasher. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Doubles as Simple, yet Awesome. Once they're fully upgraded, Gun Towers are one of the best damage-dealing towers available. They're also the cheapest tower to buy and upgrade, and they're effective against nearly everything, working against both flying and ground enemies and rapidly destroying shields. Even more so in the sequel where Gun towers can have one passive upgrade that ranges from damage over time, to shield piercing rounds, or even area damage, giving it more flexibility to adapt Guns for your strategies. Temporal towers. Aside from a nice lightning effect, all they do is slow down enemies... Which helps immensely when dealing with anything but flyers. They also have a stable, constant, upgrade cost rather than getting more expensive as it levels up. In the first game, Command towers. They don't do anything fancy or flashy, but they do reveal stealthed aliens and give an increase to your much needed resource gaining if anything dies in their (rather generous) range. In the sequel you have Boost towers. Cheap, but they don't do anything besides blocking aliens' path on their own, but a tower built on top of a Boost can have a number of other bonuses on them ranging from damage, to invisibility and shield disruptor, to score booster. Admiral Phillips' skill in Defense Grid 2, it's no death laser, tower buffing or resource gaining ray, but it allows the player to pick a priority target so all towers will focus fire on it. Particularly useful against troublesome targets like Landing Pods and Rumblers. | |

Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: Swarmers. Weak health, but damn, they come in large swarms! The Grinder game mode is exclusively Walkers, just barely above the weakest creature in the game, but increasing in intensity for 99 waves. Playing it in the very last level can crash the game (it is the biggest level with a large number of options for path placement, meaning you could have 10 or so waves of 40+ walkers each on the screen at the same time, plus all the tower actions). Super Grinder is also 99 waves but with fewer enemies and more enemy variety, including some bosses, which is ironically easier to beat. | |

No Fair Cheating | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
No Fair Cheating: If you completely block the aliens' path to the cores, they'll simply walk right past the offending tower. Depending on your tower composition, this will result in a shorter path than you planned for the aliens, which is very, very bad. The sequel prevents this from happening by simply prohibiting the player from building anything that would completely block the aliens' path, this also prevents the player from accidentally placing a tower where it would completely block their path and thus, inadvertently creating a "shortcut" for the aliens. | |

Energy Weapon: Laser towers, which are good against the two fast enemies, the Racer and the Rumbler, both because the said enemies keep taking damage from being set on fire by the laser after they're out of their range and because lasers don't have to waste any time pivoting to aim at an enemy when it enters its range. | |

Do Well, But Not Perfect | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_5049f19d | comment |
Do Well, But Not Perfect: If you are having problems getting a gold medal, sometimes it's better to go easy on the final enemies and let them live a little longer with a softer defense while the interests rack up your resources towards the gold score. Having all your cores temporarily out of the base (in mission modes that allow them to return) will prevent the flyers from stealing them, which is permanent. When the pressure on the Grid permits, Seekers can be left alive so they continue spawning more aliens, which can then be milked for resources. In the sequel, it's best to kill enemies as late as possible as you'll be gathering resources meanwhile. The more resources you have when you kill something the more points you'll earn. | |

Hell Is That Noise | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_61a503a7 | comment |
Hell Is That Noise: You'll learn to fear and hate that "zap" sound whenever aliens get a hold of your cores. If one of them runs with your core General Fletcher will leave a distressed commentary. If the aliens grab all cores from your base (but doesn't leave it) General Fletcher will comment the power is low, thus indicating your interest is basically nonexistent. The high-pitch alarm that sounds when flying enemies enter in the map will make you go Oh, Crap! if you forgot to arm defenses against them. The subtle sound indicating Landing Pods are about to drop in Defense Grid 2 will make you double-check your defenses quite fast. In Defense Grid 2 Suppressors make a high-pitch zapping sound when they die, something you learn to hate quickly as it also jams your towers. | |

Meaningful Name | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Almost all the Mooks overlaps with Shaped Like Itself. Swarmers always appear in swarms, unless they're periodically released from a Seeker. Rhinos are heavily armoured and can take more damage, similar to how the real life rhinoceros has a thick armour. In the sequel, Rhinos can charge much like a real rhinoceros. They do have to slow down to turn, though. Racers are very fast enemies. Darts have a dart-like appearance, and they can fly like one too. Mantas look kind of like manta rays, and also fly through the air in the same fashion the manta ray glides underwater. A bulwark is a protection against external attacks. Bulwarks have Deflector Shields that protects them from damage. A spire in real life is a pointed structure. Spires in this game are shielded aliens that have a pointed head. Lurkers have the ability of stealth protection and can "lurk" away from your towers. Decoys give stealth to units around them, but do not have stealth themselves. Thus, they act as a decoy and attract attacks from your towers towards it, instead of the enemies it gives stealth to. Turtles have heavily armored shells, like a real life turtle. The Crasher tends to inexorably crash its way straight through whatever you throw at it, while its shielded counterpart The Juggernaut is, well, nigh unstoppable unless you have strong weapons. | |

Marathon Level | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9 | comment |
Marathon Level: The Grinder and Super Grinder challenges pit you against 99 waves. And yes, you still must finish to obtain medals. The score requirements are quite low in proportion (ideally, you'll hit at least one million on these sorts of challenges out of the 100,000-200,000 needed for gold), but if you so much as lose a single core, there goes about an entire hour of your efforts. Adrenaline and Shredder challenges are not as long, but still far longer than any level in the game, they can have 50 waves to fight. | |

Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_6ec03ba1 | comment |
Mook Maker: Seekers periodically open a portal to the enemy aliens' home planet, allowing (usually) smaller but weaker aliens to join the fray. In the final campaign level, there are Seekers that will generate nigh-endless waves of Crashers and Rumblers if they aren't dealt with. Turtles are heavily armored boss enemies that carry weaker Mooks inside, which are released when the Turtle is defeated. In later levels, they carry even the Rumblers boss! Landing Pods, which are spawned right next to your cores and start spawning mooks from there, effectively allowing them to traverse half your defences! | |

Random Drop: In an odd fashion in Defense Grid 2: Every time you finish a map you have a chance of earning a tower item which varies from 01 to 05, you may earn an item of 01 or sometimes, in very rare cases, an item at grade 05. Playing on higher difficulties and longer maps significantly increases the chance of earning better, and rarer, tower items, though. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: If you are playing versions of Defense Grid 1 and 2 on PC and are used to the numerical shortcut to create the towers, you might build something you didn't intend to when swapping to another game. For Tower Defense genre in general, especially in Defense Grid 1. You might want to spend your resources as soon as you can and build as many towers as you can, but if you do it there you probably won't earn a Gold medal even if you win with all cores in the base. The game encourages the player to use as few resources as possible and play conservatively using them only when really necessary; the more resources you have, the more you will earn via interest, and in the end it might be the difference between a Silver or Gold medal in the rank. Both games also have "rewind" button which allows players to go back to a previous checkpoint, encouraging even further players to test tactics using as few towers as possible. | |

Competitive Balance | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_9f4a47f2 | comment |
Competitive Balance: Gun towers are Jack of All Stats. Cheap and reliable with good damage against every type of alien. Flexibility and low-cost are the best traits of Gun towers. Inferno are Skill Gate Towers. It's the first tower available to do damage to groups of aliens, but can be easily outclassed by Concussion or Meteor towers. Laser towers are Jack of All Stats. Its heat beam can easily destroy fast enemies via burning caused by its ray, but it's a bit weaker than the Gun tower and practically useless against shields. Cannon and Meteor are Long-Range Fighters. Very high damage at high distances, but can't shoot anything very close to them. Concussion serves as Close-Range Combatant dealing constant damage to anything withing its range, extremely effective against large groups of small enemies that can diverge the attention of other towers. However, it fares poorly against heavily armored enemies like the Crasher. Command towers act as a counter Stealth Expert revealing Invisible Monsters within its range allowing towers to attack them earlier and also increases the resource income. Tesla towers have Mighty Glacier properties: it can attack constantly with low power, however it takes a while to charge to full power, but if it does it will deal massive damage on the next hit. Teslas are also very effective against shielded aliens. In the sequel, Teslas end up being Master of None, good damage against single targets which will chain to another giving it some crowd control properties, but it is easily outclassed by any other tower that focus on that specific role. Even its shield-breaking ability is easily replaced by a Boost tower upgrade (Disruptor) which also disables stealthed enemies. Missiles have the highest damage output in the first game but suffers from Crippling Overspecialization since it can only target airborne aliens. In the sequel, they become Mighty Glaciers, being able to target ground enemies with powerful, single target (without an upgrade) missiles, but with a pretty slow fire rate. | |

Professor Briel's skill. It transfers resources instantly on the use, increases the more aliens you hit with it, which is quite useful especially early on. | |

Scoring Points | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_c64bdacd | comment |
Scoring Points: At the end of a mission, you're given points based on how many Resources you have, the sell value of your towers (which is always less than the buy value, ensuring that buying and upgrading towers will reduce your score), and how many Cores you have intact. You're also given medals for hitting point milestones. Thus, maximizing score and getting those gold medals is based around efficient Resource use while preventing your Cores from being stolen. | |

The sequel starts with Simon, Fletcher and Cai investigating a distress signal, but not quite expecting another alien invasion, thus the grid can only activate few types of towers. | |

Disaster Dominoes | |
Defense Grid: The Awakening (Video Game) / int_e4ba33fc | comment |
Disaster Dominoes: The most common cause of core loss- once an enemy grabs a core from the housing and begins to carry it towards the exit, you have to bring it down well before the next incoming wave gets up to it, otherwise the fresh enemies from the new wave will pick it up when the first enemy drops it and immediately turn back, taking it further out of your reach, possibly into the next wave and so on. A core dropped in the middle of a pack of enemies is all but lost unless you can nuke the entire pack with the orbital laser, as it gets passed from enemy to enemy in a relay. It can be catastrophic when a Racer picks up a core and carries it back at high speed, being brought down to drop the core right in front of a fresh Crasher, which would normally require the firepower of your entire Grid to destroy. | |

Doubles as Simple, yet Awesome. Once they're fully upgraded, Gun Towers are one of the best damage-dealing towers available. They're also the cheapest tower to buy and upgrade, and they're effective against nearly everything, working against both flying and ground enemies and rapidly destroying shields. Even more so in the sequel where Gun towers can have one passive upgrade that ranges from damage over time, to shield piercing rounds, or even area damage, giving it more flexibility to adapt Guns for your strategies. | |

No-Gear Level: In the Containment DLC, the level Foothold has you with only your basic towers (Gun, Inferno and Laser). Since you went through the portals aliens were using to try another invasion, after you thwarted their first, Fletcher still needs to re-power the new grid for the other towers. In Defense Grid 2, Double Take deprives you of any special ability. Justified by the fact the abilities are modified versions of a satellite beam and you're defending an orbital elevator. | |
