Line of Defense drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. It leans on shooting, fighting and strategy, so expect a steady difficulty curve. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Line of Defense
Line of Defense is a fun battle of defense against attacking enemy tanks. Using you defensive rockets painted with colors, match it with the color of attacking tanks and shoot in order to destroy it. If the color mismatches, you will lose. If tanks reaches the front line you will lose. Use your defense rockets effectively and watch out for enemy tanks coming from different sides.
