Impressions
Lucky Defense stood out to me since it was based on the premise that everything in the game was based purely on your luck. The game puts a spin on the traditional “Tower Defense” genre. Instead of selecting what towers you buy, the purchase spawns in a defender based on a lucky – or unlucky – roll of the dice. This game leaves you praying get a lucky legendary defender or that one last defender needed to make a level up combo.

Hit Box
It took me some time to warm up to this game. The tutorial was more annoying then helpful but once I got the gist of the game I did keep coming back to it. The premise is extremely simple and not much thought is needed to play the game. There are some strategic options involved but they mostly lay in what rarity you want to summon or what upgrades you want to get in game.
Game Quality
For a game with a simple premise much thought was put into the game mechanics, defender characters and rewards system. This game is not just a billboard to show advertisements or is it a cash grab. While I can see how some players may want to pay for in game items, this game is completely balanced on the free-to-play route.
Offline Play
Lucky Defense does not function at all without an internet connection. This makes sense as the game is played cooperatively with another player however, a solo-mode or offline mode is not unreasonable to ask for in a tower defense game.
Adverts
The advertisements in the game were not distracting or unsolicited. Every ad I came across was due to me choosing to watch the advertisement for some form of in game rewards.
