I only need 4 co op achievements to unlock them all. This is still the best Tower defence game around. Help me. I'm 46. This is on my bucket list. Time is short lol.

It's good modern tower defense game. Works fine and voice acting is a plus. You can save any time. There's multiple "challenge" options for every map. It's a bit too easy on normal, a lot easier than the original, and after completing the story mode there's not much to do. I would appreciate an official expansion with more challenging levels.

It took me 10 years to finally buy this game even though I thoroughly enjoyed the first one. I feel like an A-hole for not buying it sooner.

On the surface this may seem a simplistic game...and it is for all intents and purposes. easy to pick up and play. challenging and still relaxxed yet full of action!
hours and hours may be spent trying to get a map beat juuuust right so that you receive the maximum badge. fantastic tower defense game.
dont miss out on the first Defense Grid either! less options in upgrades but in many ways a even better experience capable of eating hundreds of hours blissfuly :D

This review is valid for both Defense Grid games, DG2 and the 1st one DG :The Awakening. Both Defense Grid games are the some of the very best of the tower defense genre games that I have played. And since I like the genre I have played quite a lot of them . Highly recommend if you like Tower Defense games.

Smooth, quick load, good maps and challenging levels. Worth the money and is definitely re-playable.

As a fan of the original Defense Grid: The Awakening (and all DLCs), I was excited to dive into the sequel and see what improvements and changes had been made. While Defense Grid 2 is a solid game that offers some exciting new features and levels, it's not without its flaws. I feel there is less challenge.
For instance after 15 hours into the game... I did already unlock more than 80% of the achievements...
For comparison, in the first edition the Awakening with all DLCs it took me 170 hours to unlock All achievements (around ~130/140 hours to reach 80%), you can understand my surprise.... And by seeing what are the remaining achievements to unlock in DG2, I already consider that it is done :(
if in the first Defense grid: The Awakening, grinder was somewhat challenging, in DG2, I got gold on gold on gold, I stop to build around the 30/40 wave, thus the last 60 waves out of 100 I'm just watching the carnage without any need to build more towers... Is it too easy or is it me becoming too good with the first Defense Grid The Awakening...?
The game's core mechanics are still enjoyable, with the goal of protecting your cores' base from hordes of invading aliens using an array of towers and upgrades...
Bad news, there is no more Flyers, thus the missiles tower is just for ground targets.
The new tower types, such as the "Boost" tower and the "Shuttle" landing in the beginning, are a welcome addition and offer some fresh strategies for players to employ. However, the game's pacing can feel a bit overly easy.
On the other hand, the game's replay value is still very strong, with multiple difficulty levels and special challenges to keep players engaged.
In the end, Yes I'm hooked with this second iteration of DG, but DGA (the first) still hold the gold medal in my opinion.
