When it comes to build a tower, you first have to raise a weak watchtower. Every twenty enemies or so you can build a new one.

The point is that there are three kind of gems (hold tight, wind, ice and light) you can combine in series of three onto a watchtower to create the tower you want or need. Some combinations hurt and damage your foes, while others slow them down or support nearby towers.

It is worth mentioning that the design of the towers is more scientific comparing to the previous work. For example the hurricane tower (combined by three yellow gems) is mainly made by yellow materials, at the same time the ice sword tower (combined by 2 yellow & one blue) has a yellow metallic base with a blue stone at the top.

That will make players easier to remember the combination formula. Even you can't remember it, you could find it in the Magic Book which is shown on the top right corner of the game screen. Like the previous work, there also has a special type of magic tower.

When you combine three gems in different color onto one watchtower, you will get a special tower that can't attack. This is the new holy light tower of epic defense. And this tower has three different forms, if you place the yellow gem first, the towers around it will get a faster attack speed, or they will make more powerful attacks if the first gem is blue, or the ability to make a critical if it's purple.

Use holy light tower properly will let you win the battle easier. These gems fall to the ground when their owners desist on their mission (aka, they die). Besides, towers and life’s can be upgraded through the shop, so don't forget to pick up the coins your foes leave now and then.

Additional coins can be purchased through the shop, of course. Epic Defense 2 shares with its predecessor a professional-grade difficulty, making you dependent on which gems you get in the first waves and also making you learn enemies' behavior to avoid building towers where you shouldn't.

Likewise, the skill tree must be undertaking with a long term strategy in mind, therefore having to analyze it since the very beginning to not waste your precious coins. Epic Defense players will love it as is, though it might be too difficult for casual gamers used to spoon fed challenges.

In the end, a good defense game. If you're into it, go ahead.
