Try out the brilliant mix of RPG and tower defense, right here!

Monday surprise! Here's a browser based demo of Defender's Quest, a very succesfull attempt of splicing the tower defense and RPG genres, which is available on GOG.com for only $14.99.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/defenders_quest][/url]Defender's Quest is complex, elaborate, well-polished, and on top of that--well written. You might think that this last part isn't all that much important in a tower defense title, but it actually is, as the whole game is story driven. However, it's only one of the reasons why Adam Smith of [url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/01/24/hours-of-towers-defenders-quest/" target="_blank]Rock, Paper, Shotgun[/url] calls it "brilliant" and confesses that his "mild aversion to tower defense has been completely shattered". The main reason for this game to invoke such enthusiasm is that it just keeps on delivering content, so once you pick it up, it's extremely difficult to put it down. With well-executed mechanics, clear visuals, a plethora of scenarios, and many outspoken characters, you'll be enjoying every single minute of it!

The game not only met with critical acclaim, but was also well received by GOG.com users. So, if you're still on the fence with Defender's Quest, you now have the perfect opportunity to see what your $14.99 gets you. The browser based demo below can easily provide you with a couple of hours of play, which is still but a small taste of things to come in the full version. It will also allow you to export your save-file and continue your adventure in the full game, so there won't be losing any progress! Just be careful! This one can make your Monday so much easier to handle, but also very unproductive.

No comment yet? What's wrong here? Anyway, the browser demo is a nice idea. I wouldn't go as far as downloading and installing a demo but just playing it in the browser? Sure, why not. :D
Great idea. Thank you GOG and Level Up.

My guess would be: everyone is playing the demo, so It'll be a couple of hours before they get back to reality and post ;-)
who would have thought, it worked and now I've bought the thing (but I don't like tower defense games much, why oh why do I like it??? :o)
game looks fun but not really for me. I hope a lot of people who like this kind of game buy it now, though.
Also, you can export your save file from the demo into the full game! (when you inevitably buy it)
On a related note, the developer has posted a response to a critical review AS a review and given his own game five stars.

Not exactly a textbook example of integrity.
Now, GOG get off your asses and do in-browser demos of DOS games.

He was only responding to technical concerns regarding the game and clarifying the situation for anyone who may have read the critical review. He also clearly identified himself as the developer so I hardly think this is evidence of a lack of integrity.
I must be blind but... where is the demo ?
+1 to the developer and GOG for this, I'd buy it today if I weren't broke. The demo really did pull me off the fence, it will be purchased when cash is available!

While I applaud his decision to respond directly, the forum would have been a much better...well...forum for this kind of feedback (given that the PM system doesn't allow users to be addressed directly without the use of the forum).

The way the dev has done it skews the average score of the game unfairly.

If you're reading the thread from the front page, it should be that big box below the text wall and above the replies... Maybe it doesn't show if you read the post from the forum section?
