Urban War Defense is a very bare bones tower defense game consisting of only 4 short maps that can be completed in less than 30 minutes. It has been in Early Access since July 2017 and only had a couple of small updates well over a year ago despite the developer’s planned 6 month release. Rather than update the game, the developer decided to revoke keys from bundles in an attempt to make additional revenue on previously sold licenses.

There is no strategy to the game. Each map is a small, single path road where the enemies shuffle in from the same entry point and make their way to the end. You can place 3 types of turrets in pre-defined slots to stop them. However, the enemies never attack back. All I did was place a couple of missile towers at the beginning of each map and fully upgrade them to annihilate the enemy. Most of the time I didn't even get to see the enemies as they just instantly turned into balls of fire upon spawning in. Each map was exactly the same strategy and despite being labeled “Urban” the maps consisted of a Mountain Road, Gas Station, Farmer's Market, and Parking Lot. There was no story or reasoning behind it.

With such little effort, there isn’t much reason to play this. There are a lot of tower defense games out there that are much better.
