Some of us, those old enough most likely, will remember Army of Darkness. A cheesy comedy horror from the early 90's. The main character, was a familiar one, as this movie was actually Evil Dead 3, third movie in a series starring Ashley "Ash" Williams (Bruce Campbell), Smart employee turned demon hunter. There have been some games in the past, and even though you may not know anything about the series, you will have at least heard some of its catchphrases, like Boomstick. 

Army of Darkness Defense is a sort of casual Tower Defense. You are not building anything to survive, but you have to summon allies to help you repel enemy troops, avoiding Deadites from stealing the Necronomicon from you. The gameplay is quite simple as well. You will only be able to move back and forth, Ash will attack automatically once an enemy is close enough. At first, you will only be able to use his shotgun, or Boomstick. But later on, you will be able to access the Iron glove and the all dandy chainsaw, a trademark in the series.

 What will enhance gameplay is the fact that you will have access to different skills, and troops. All of this can be upgraded after each wave using the gathered gold. This will help you defeat the 50 waves of the game. Though most of the early levels can be done with Ash alone as the game is not that tough. Later levels though require strategy, high equipment level and such unless you want to be stepped over. 

The game will make us face different kind of Deadites, though only the 2 bosses from stages 45 and 50 are recognizable. The other enemies are skeletons and wizards. The skeletons will go improving along the waves, so that they include helmets, shields, spears, etc. The pattern of a wave is similar to Plants vs Zombies. You will have a wave "meter" above the screen, and an mark. The mark points to the time when more enemies will appear. Later stages have up to 2 critical marks making levels more complex. You will lose if Ash dies, or if the enemies steal the Necronomicon.

Army of Darkness is a nice little game, currently free found on the app store. The game as most good TD's, is entertaining, and will hold your attention for longer than healthy, though that is not a bad thing for us gamers!
