I just don't find them interesting and see them as ticking time bombs for another anime game to take it's place. This is a gacha game. There's no true difficulty besides inflated numbers and they use all the same tactics that get players addicted for a few months before dying out. Which I feel is a genuine shame as I do believe you could with the infinite roster of anime characters go to the battle cats route and actually create some interesting gameplay and difficulty while having tons of characters. They just don't want to.
Majority ass, but still think that anime world tower defense still the best and MOST UNDERRATED TD GAME ON ROBLOX, FR, they need 3K players daily for the amount of effort they put it in to make it unique and fun 😭 (The only bad thing is the game being poorly optimized)
The only reason i play vanguards and tower defenses in general is after i have a crashout over valorant cs or some roblox kids i just like to listen to music while playing something peaceful
Listening to music while playing any td game is just so relaxing. I always listen to music when playing roblox games if you don't need to actually listen out for stuff.
AWTD mentioned 👀I've played awtd for a while and only main problems I have is lack of updates and optimisation. Fun fact awtd has a unit called Xeno which drops from one of the hardest stages with an unknown drop chance that people think is like 0.02%. Maybe like less than 100 people have him. I've seen a guy with 5k runs and still doesn't have him. 😭
They really should have not made xeno that rare from a story mode. If it was a legend stage or something then sure maybe atleast I get something useful but all I get from story mode is exp and gold😭
while Xeno is meta due to his passive and insane damage, he is not mandatory to grind for as it's possible to do all content even getting on LBs without him, AWTD is solely based off strategy team building and mayhaps bugs lmao (which differentiates it from all other td games, sad to see it being underrated though)
I absolutely love how everyone is trying to compare this to sols rng and saying “hey cmon guys it’s not that bad” and completely ignoring the whole question and at the end of the day the only thing that separates this from another mindless rng game is that its a tower defense (but you still leave it on overnight for your macro to grind)
I mean yea its a gacha game TD. However unlike Sol's you actually can say you achieved something in the end I would rather a unit over an aura any day of the week. Gacha Td are no different from many other games on the platform hate to say it but ... Adopt Me, Bee Swarm, Pet Sim, Lommian Legacy, Blox Fruits, etc. are game where many use Tiny Task aka macros to do mondain repetitive things for them. It not fair criticism to knock Vanguards, ALS, or even Alt defender for this same thing. I'm not saying this isn't a problem for showing actual active engagement however what's not a problem is wanting to automate something because you ether don't have the time or need a brake. (Not a hate thread just my prospective)
Anime Tower Defense game requirements; Have secret units Have story mode Have a challenge mode Have a raid mode A free casino And trading All these tower defense games are giving anime adventurers ptsd
I hate how the tower defense genre on Roblox is now back in 2020/2021 almost every single tower defense game was not p2w and didn’t need Skibidi toilet or anime characters too pull in their player base I mean all star tower defense was there but it was fine considering it was only one popular anime td game but now people who are not familiar with the genre think that it’s just Skibidi toilet or anime cash grabs
@@keidensth the fact that you had to gamble for the tower you want and could take a lot of gems and kids would ask their parents for more gems and stuff like that
Before you all get mad at me for what I’m going to say, you can enjoy the games and that’s completely fine to me. However, all of these games are objectively bad. Having something as huge as towers being rng in a strategic game is not a good idea. It’s a straight up gacha game. You can place a couple units and basically afk for the whole match. There is no difficulty, it’s just an increase of numbers, They are all clearly cash grabs and premium payout farms. The maps are too long. The lobby is a mess. The game can’t stick to a single theme, towers, maps and lobbies are all different in the wrong ways. Before you have a fit in the comments, remember that YOU CAN ENJOY IT, but it’s not necessarily a good game. (I’ve had *some* fun myself while testing it)
@@TechyOP_ I’ve played most of the games for about half an hour and they were pretty much identical. Anime vanguards can’t exactly stick to a single theme throughout the game. Do you have anything else to add or argue?
I mean you're not wrong but again this whole rng to get good stuff is still easily something you can look over too due to many sorts of existence of turn based gacha games that require you to get good characters to grind up for it. If you're familiar with "Arknights" you probably won't like it at first but it is a more in depth tower defense game that uses the gacha system and from what i seen the devs are doing is that they're actively trying to make all units viable in some way without having to force them they need to play it for majority of the playerbase time like how Arknights did basically
I preferred ASTD to AA, until the rng grinding for raid materials came in, the gacha in ASTD was the only gamble you needed, once you rolled the unit and got it to high levels you were good to go, but with AA, the stats were random AND there were traits on top of that, so I stuck with ASTD since it was more f2p friendly. In fact, I recall playing astd before all the units had to change their names, so I couldn't get super into AA with much worse rng since I was so used to ASTD's relative safeness for rng since I had boat loads of gems.
Awtd is severely underrated and should have a higher player count. It's so different from any other td and actually needs team building and strategizing to actually beat stages it needs more recognition
I love a comment I read before: "Anime Adventures getting deleted had the same effect as Gol D Roger dying in one piece. All the copies are trying to get the treasure anime adventures left behind."
It can't be stated enough, that AWTD is THE most unique Anime tower defense game with all of its concepts, but it will NEVER receive the recognition it deserves because for the average player it's a little too complex and overwhelming. It's legit the only Anime Tower defense that tried to innovate, but you see what happens when you innovate. These new roblox devs figured out one thing: Why innovate if the same AA formula will work every time? These people that left AA only want to play AA clones at this point and don't actually care to play anything new, its kinda the sad reality, so since that same AA formula works, these Anime Tower defense devs will just keep putting out the same thing pumping out money like nothing. It's really sad when you think about it
Furry Tower Defense... hmm... that game is too outdated tbh, the game is okay but the tower is only have one face (well, they can make a tower more than just one face) and the UI is so outdated. The biggest problem is... why the dialouge is so cringe in there?
The fact that aa only got 20k active almost all the time shocked me that they even have that high amount of fans that wants the game again.And btw W video
This is why I'm starting to enjoy Tower Defense Simulator now, I dont have to gamble to get what I want, and it's such a breath of fresh air from summoning, traits, and stats. It's the only TD game on Roblox that I don't die of bordeom from.
@@Winnerlol I was just joking while saying that lol,I actually enjoy watching tower defense simulator videos since the game actually needs strategies and a brain,and yeah it's definitely better than most tower defenses and ASTD isn't a copy paste macro simulators (ALS&AD)so there's that
To me the thing that makes Anime Vanguards not a instant skip compared to all the other AA clone attempts is the fact that Anime Vanguards releases a Vtuber unit on the release version of the game (most anime TD games either never add a Vtuber unit or add only a single one at a very late version, and its most likely always going to be Gawr Gura alone and without the rest of her group mates, and pretty much never anyone else more unique or slightly less known) So the fact that anime vanguards had the battle pass unit of the release version be Shigure UI and not only that but also made her as the Emote NPC of the game meaning permenantly gonna be visible in the game lobby, showed me they have more unique and special character choises for their units compared to the other AA clones and gives me hope for them to do at some point updates of anime that AA never did (Like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Konosuba)
I'm honestly happy you covered this topic (have done so before) as a tower defense genre fan these games have always gotten on my nerves because they don't learn. The anime IP is a blessing and a curse for these games as it doesn't let them focus on the core values of tower defense games and just turn into gacha fests where it's just grinding for stronger units forever. There's no depth or identity beyond it. It's why I always rep games like TDS as they're actually a tower defense game that's attempting to be a tower defense game while still releasing quality maps, towers, events, and balance patches. I genuinely don't understand how people can want to play the same version of a game over 3x times now.
These games are copy and pastes through and through taking the same horrible practices from anime adventures and just replicating it for the sake of it because they know how desperate the "tower defense" community is for an anime adventures replica
Anime vanguards also has some devs from anime adventures and some devs from anime last stand Its getting quality updates but the scripts are messy bc half of the devs working on 2 games
I feel like the main thing why gambling for units is so present is because if the amount of animes. It's pretty hard to think of a way to obtain units without gambling. Tds works without gambling is because of the low of amount of towers they have.
hmm you actually bring a great point up here still im sure there is a way to at least make it somewhat viable without gambling but you'd have build the game a lot differently than it is rn because team composition would have to change
@TechyOP_ just so you know aa devs apparently had the copyright situation under control and could have just opened the game but they just left with the bag
Then your luck sucks, that's it. The average chance is 1/100 (1/50 in the new mode). Just cuz you personally had bad luck with 1 single unit doesn't mean that you NEED to macro cuz you really don't@@chufy8944
Im sorry guys but AV is the first TD game i played but i feel like they try to stop us from macroing big levels like igris and 4th stage raid by adding something that'd make it harder to do using tiny task Like: Adding god statues to last act was i believe their motive to prevent ppl from macroing it , its just that ppl are too lazy and find their way somehow 2. They added Medical Chakra feature to prevent macroing in Rengoku raid but they somehow failed there too I think they are trying their best and listening to you i feel like AA was some kind of legacy ( My frnd used to play it he also said the same thing )
If they wanted us to stop macroing they should increase the drop rates for units and add 2x speed. But they're not going to do that because they want us to stay in the game longer for premium payouts, so they actually indirectly want us to macro. About the god statue stuff and sakura stuff, I honestly think they're trying to add a gimmick to make the game semi interesting but it doesn't work because is doesn't impact the game enough
Igris is good but Rengoku is pretty doo doo... and you can beat like 99% of the game without having Igris, but it requires strategy and we know 60-70% of the fan base aren't capable of that. Tbh, I feel getting those 2 (and Alucard) is more of a luck flex rather than must-have units Piss easy to roll for good mythic units too
@@dooseyif they increased the drop rates then the people would start crying "ThEse secRets arEnt eveN raRe!! How am I suPposed tO tradE tHem?" It is IMPOSSIBLE to satistfy everyone
I will say that Anime Vanguards and Anime Defenders were in the making for more than 8 months. Furthermore, Vanguards had already almost 300,000 People waiting in the discord and Defenders having 200,000 People. The only reason why there is “alot” of tower defence games is because most of them are either rushed which makes them look unpolished, with lots of bugs, glitches and etc. (No hate to other td games btw)
TDS during those rough times in 2020-2021 got carried by what I like to call the "TDS TH-camr Uprising". All of us back then were honestly bored, but we didn't give up on TDS quite yet, so we waited and watched a ton of TDS videos. All the sudden, TDS youtubers were actually getting big. With some reaching 100K+ After the Solar Eclipse update tho... most TDS youtubers became irrelevant and their channels completely flopped after 2021. Now here in 2024, we've actually seen a new wave of heavily growing TDS content creators. Along with some of the older channels that peaked in 2021 that got revived due to TDS being in its peak popularity throughout early-mid 2024. As for us players, youtubers were the only general thing that kept the game alive in the harsh conditions of 2020-2021. Our way of perceiving TDS also drastically changed; we saw TDS as a meme game, not an actually strategy game anymore which is one of the other things I believe that kept the game alive.
I truly never got the gameplay of these ANIME TD games You gamble for OP units with a currency that’s hard to get, forcing you to grind and give the devs premium payouts, or just sell literally everything with robux, and then you get garbage, rinse and repeat Once you do infact get said OP units, you afk the rest of the game and wait for a new update to repeat the same cycle It breaks all the core principles of the TD genre, and has flooded it with scummy cashgrabs. My friends have been urging me to play anime defenders, yet they are the same people to hesvily bash on pet sim and sols because “it has good graphics”? Once they play TDS, TDX, or BTD6, they will be shocked to find an actual fun TD game that requires you to think with good graphics
The funniest theory I stirred up in a pot is that how gamefam and crunchyroll went after AA and AFS because their popular, while-else bnr:R (boku no roblox: Remastered) survived due to its low player base and surviving 200 players, causing it to hide in the shadows. Same with other games that had deku and was dying out.. Also random question, how many country's is the GamefamxCrunchyroll "battlegrounds" game banned in?
I feel like now that Anime Vanguards is out, people like me, who LOVED AA and grinded it not stop purely because I found it fun and rewarding, even as a pretty much free to play (VIP and sometimes battlepasses) (other than my 200+ eclipse portals without a secret) are no longer going to seek out new anime TD games. We’ve got that AA feeling again, so now the void left in December has been filled, and we are happy.
7:44 i got ONE thing, ONE reason i kept playing AA. It was because of the weekly tournaments (Yap session ahead) If you ignored THAT single gamemode which was basically the pvp of the game: AA's Weekly tournament was basically players who are trying to become the #1 player of the leaderboards so they can get some interesting unit with cosmetics that they could use or trade. "But isnt that just basically the normal leaderbord stuff???", well heres what makes it interesting. Every week, theres new challenges to face with other people that could be: do the most amount of kills, survive the most amount of waves, this specific element type does more damage/does less damage, etc., and everyones favorite. Traitless run. This Gamemode was the only one that gave strategy to the game. Every player looking for units to use, what unit is good, or bad for the gamemode. This was one of the BEST competitive gamemode AA had. In my conclusion. AA was the best Anime Tower defense game OAT. (L yapper)
What you said about the lack of skill and strategy, I completely agree. I barely played AA because of this; from bloons to astd to aa, the sell rate decreased more and more slowly becoming more of a simulator game masked as a tower defense. You spend gems to get units that will help you get more gems with an auto clicker, is this not a simulator??
yeah uhh, I say that anime tower defense games are mid asl, play any tower defense game, (except ANY skibidi toilet ones) like TDX or TDS, I mean sure it’s not as flashy and bright as anime tower defense games, but they get the job done, and WELL.
If you love tower defense games with microtransactions with zero effect on the gameplay then play Tower Defense Simulator. Because Tower Defense Simulator is the only classical Roblox Tower Defense that didn't use things such as 2x Exp or 2x Money. But if you love Anime and you love macro-ing then play Anime Vanguards. However, it depends on you. I don't blame you for which game is bad or good. In my personal opinion, I still love Tower Defense Simulator even Anime Vanguards release. Because I didn't watch Anime at all and it's the same concept as Anime Vanguards except with no gambling system. I also forgot that Anime Tower Defense is popular because it has more towers to use than the Tower Defense Simulator. Plus, it is so flashy to see. However, it's unfortunate that Anime Tower Defense (Except Anime Defenders) isn't in the Roblox Innovation Awards, but we'll be in the future. Sorry for yapping too long.
Man, anime tower defense games are slowly infecting roblox like a plague. The worst thing is that theres no innovation in the genre. Like, if the genre is very famous, maybe someone did something original with it right? No. Every td game rn is a copy paste of anime adventures which was trash to begin with. Every time i see a roblox trailer on yt with the word "anime" on it im praying to the lord to not be a shameless aa clone
I think that the devs of these games are creating dupes of these games. For example Anime Reborn, Anime Vanguards, Anime Last Stands, and Anime Defenders all have extremely similar fonts, color themes, characters, animations, features and have so much similarity it feels like youre playing the same game. So I'm guessing its the same creators milking the same game by making new ones with very slight changes.
Every Anime TD games biggest problem was making each updates make the previous ones still usable, i played AA from release before i eventually quit on 7DS update. Im just hoping for Anime Vanguards devs to have a plan for this
TDS, TDX, Tower Blitz and TB being the OG goats 🐐🐐🐐 ( I KNOW OTHER AMAZING TD GAMES EXSIST BUT EVEN I HAVE TO ADMIT THEY ARE DEAD NOW OR DIDN'T MAKE AS MUCH AS AN IMPACT THAN THOSE GAMES FOR THE ENTIRE GENRE)
@@iheartahatintime ermmmm we don't talk about that although I do think it has VERY similar quality to the OG Trio(TDS, TB and Tower Blitz) plus it was made by the man who made 2/3 games popular and debatebly was a pioneer of the Roblox TD TH-cam scene.
These new tower defense games are just all the same. Example would be that there so called “secret” units aren’t actually “secret” units, you can get literally get them through gems requiring you to grind the game lots or by spending big amount of money instead of doing some sort of requirement. Back when AA was still up you’ll rarely see players with secret units.
I don't know if you've played this but you should, it's called build a nuke factory and destroy the world tycoon, it's a tycoon and it doesnt really innovate that idea, but it seems like a passion project, there are voice lines, animations and even drawing your own country flag.
Can someone pls remind me one game ? It was a tower defence game with waifus or smthn on roblox and the lobby was a comfy nice 2 or 1 floor cafiteria thats all I remember does someone know it ?
I really like the 'Anime TD' genre. The devs using gambling methods in their games is not really a problem to me as I can macro. Its fun getting units from anime youve watched and continuously increasing your collection to 100% every update. I understand it will get repetetive and for some that makes it boring, but for me I dont really feel it, Ill play for a couple hours, maybe play something else or take a 30 minute break and just come back. I dont feel any of the fatigue. Also I feel a reason why people like these is literally because it doesnt require a huge amount of dedication to learning or increasing skill, meaning youre not really investing that much into it, therefore making it easier to play. Adding to this, most of the time it doesnt require you full attention, unlike other games, so you can multitask playing the game and doing homework or home workout. Whilst some people care about the devs getting money from kids and gambling addicts I dont really care because it doesnt affect me and who am I to say they cant get their bag? Predatory tactics exist to make money and theyre literallY EVERYWHERE. Not to mention, if a 6 year old is spending money on a robux for the game, chances are the parents let that happen. Its not really a big issue. And yes, this does affect the front page because the game is popular so others will follow suit and employ similar tactics in their games, but you dont have to play these and sure they are taking the spotlight away from the subjectively good games that have close to no players, but THAT doesnt stop you from playing those games yourself either. Lastly, people have the right to bash whatever games they want and im not against that, but it would be nice if people wouldnt mock someone for playing a game they might not be fans of, its immature and pointless.
I hate that if you dont use tinytask the game becomes almost unplayable for anime vanguards. Like it takes hours to level up or to evolve a single unit or get a unit to lvl 50
i get that a lot of people spent a lot of money on anime adventures, but honestly i was happy when it got taken down. manipulating children into rolling endlessly for singular units (or even gambling for them) and racking up electricity bills by having them afk on your game is insane. literally every anime themed tower defense is just boring/repetitive and grindy with varying levels of time required to play. at the very least these games could actually focus on strategy beyond just getting the best units and looking up guides, but oh well.
You can't call ASTD original when theres other anime td games before that. All of them are tower defense games, they copy other games and put their own twists, thats it.
For some people who don't, AV actually has some of the staff members from AA (anime adventures). That's why the game Anime Vanguards is so similiar to Anime Adventures, because they just got some of the asets from AA, making Anime Vanguards just Anime Adventures 2. I even checked the other day, and the admins/moderators from the Anime Adventures server is also in Anime Vanguards as 'developers'.
I hope they don't get into the death loop of adding more characters that deal more DMG over the previous ones over again in every update. at least make characters that aren't overpowered but can profits your loadout in some ways. Make them unique !
@@TechyOP_ hey atleast for me, I did the first story (which i tested gives the same amount of exp as the last story) and took 20-24 hours. Gives 200 exp each time
My biggest issue with ALS is the fact that u cant beat the game without overlord trait or higher cause the game just isnt possible without it whoch is sad
For some reason, Vanguards was the only Tower Defense that hooked me in, tried ASTD on release, didn't work, Anime Adventures, nay. So personally, it's the best for me at a deeper level
Anime Vanguards is also extremely generous, I've gotten 100+ trait rerolls from update 0.5 alone. Comparing that to Anime Adventures, it took me multiple updates to get over 100 trait rerolls AS A P2W. AA is esentially Genshin Impact and AV is Wuthering Waves in terms of generosity. AV also seems to be going in the right direction in terms of content, having challenges that are anti-p2w such as the traitless event.
These Anime TD game just have the same formula of grind for the strongest tower and win. On the other hand TDS is very different since you can't just get the strongest tower and win, you still need to think in highly stressful situation (I haven't even been able to solo some mode because even though it still the same structure wave, it's still stressful)
I feel like you forgot the biggest aspect of most tds games which is the aspect of trading, trading in AA was big, so huge to the point people would drop 200,000 robux on rerolls just to get a dio over heaven in the game. theres also the economy of anime defenders being so horribly inflated, blackmarket servers sell 50M gems for 500 robux or 5 dollars.
Although I personally don’t like anime tower defense games that much, I think the best game to do it so far has been anime vanguards with the gem accessibility you mentioned earlier, and also being able to get a powerful unit like igris for free, although a bit of tiny task might be necessary 😅
honestly, Vanguards And world tower defence have been a very calming and enjoyable experience for me, way better than yelling at my screen over some bs in the live service games of today
Should be noted that while gamefam did lead to the reason of shutdown for AA, it was entirely the devs' decision to shut down despite even having new models made for the MHA characters.
Well said bro im a fan of anime vanguards though. I have been taking a break after the long macro sessions and instead im enjoying undertale adventures which, if you like Undertale and Tower defenses i recommend you check it out if you havent already!
I am happy that tower defense take the spotlight in roblox category nowadays thanks to Anime Adventures influenced, because back in the days among other categories, tower defense is the smallest community and if we rate the highest genre in roblox it’ll be like this. 1. Battleground (Bloxfruit is the example) 2. Simulator (Petsimx is the example) 3. Roleplaying (Adopt me is the example) Despite of Anime Adventures only has 50-70k average player every day, they impact a lot of developer not just Anime Tower Defense genre, and that is because of how insane the graphics, details and ui innovation the game has that many other game doesn’t have that time, the level of graphics and details to the map is not typical graphics you’ve ever seen in roblox. New generation always surpass the old generation but Anime Adventure is ahead of its time, if that game didn’t got shutdown, Anime Adventure will takeoever the tower defense genre ‘till this day. This is the first time i joined discord too because their discord server is organized and the mods/staff are well disciplined unlike Anime Vanguard they’re all have a pride and ego also Anime Adventure doesn’t have a problem interms of optimization despite of having insane graphics to lobby and map while tower defense nowadays always have a bugs, that’s why Anime Adventure is very well crafted game, made by passion, hopefully Script and Stray make another game, it doesn’t need to be a tower defense game again, i’ll still play it eventho a lot of players already forgot them, im a person who always support a developer that gives a really high quality game, yes other games always give their best to make a high quality game but they’re lack of optimization, Anime Vanguard take too long to optimize the game but look at the game right now, it always has a bug, from a delayguard nickname to a bugguard nickname, overall i’ll still play it, we also has one last tower defense on the list and that is Anime Reborn.
honestly, there should be a new sub-category; RNG-defenses because all of this anime TD stuff is not even a tower defense game. it's just sol's rng but you're playing a tower defense game.
lowkey, i only played AA mainly for trading since i love trading up to get OP units with cool af cosmetics, so i hop AV will add trading in the future, making only secrets and limiteds tradable and not mythics like anime defenders

It’s what I like to call the plague of 2022 to 2024 where every genre was transformed into some sort of cashgrab
Astd wasn't even p2w and is actually fun instead of just gambling and try to get a "so called 0.0001% secret".
@@keidensth nah it was p2w like you got be honest when it was released people called it the most p2w tower defense game on Roblox
@@supercatchans what was p2w about astd?? the only gamepass they had was the mounts lmao, AA was probably the most p2w game ive ever played
@@keidensth the fact that you had to gamble for the tower you want and could take a lot of gems and kids would ask their parents for more gems and stuff like that
Before you all get mad at me for what I’m going to say, you can enjoy the games and that’s completely fine to me.
However, all of these games are objectively bad. Having something as huge as towers being rng in a strategic game is not a good idea. It’s a straight up gacha game. You can place a couple units and basically afk for the whole match. There is no difficulty, it’s just an increase of numbers, They are all clearly cash grabs and premium payout farms. The maps are too long. The lobby is a mess. The game can’t stick to a single theme, towers, maps and lobbies are all different in the wrong ways.
Before you have a fit in the comments, remember that YOU CAN ENJOY IT, but it’s not necessarily a good game. (I’ve had *some* fun myself while testing it)
You aren’t necessarily wrong here 🤷♂️
@@TechyOP_ I’ve played most of the games for about half an hour and they were pretty much identical. Anime vanguards can’t exactly stick to a single theme throughout the game. Do you have anything else to add or argue?
Pretty much everything I said in the video is my opinion
I mean you're not wrong but again this whole rng to get good stuff is still easily something you can look over too due to many sorts of existence of turn based gacha games that require you to get good characters to grind up for it. If you're familiar with "Arknights" you probably won't like it at first but it is a more in depth tower defense game that uses the gacha system and from what i seen the devs are doing is that they're actively trying to make all units viable in some way without having to force them they need to play it for majority of the playerbase time like how Arknights did basically
Its all about minmaxxing and seeing big numbers just like almost every gatcha game i can think of
AA wasn't fully closed by gamefam. The game was back after 3 days but they decided to never open the game back.
If they open it now
The player count will probably increase more than it ever was
@@Zickmation24guess what?
@@mobilebeast3375 yes i know and im hyped too
I preferred ASTD to AA, until the rng grinding for raid materials came in, the gacha in ASTD was the only gamble you needed, once you rolled the unit and got it to high levels you were good to go, but with AA, the stats were random AND there were traits on top of that, so I stuck with ASTD since it was more f2p friendly.
In fact, I recall playing astd before all the units had to change their names, so I couldn't get super into AA with much worse rng since I was so used to ASTD's relative safeness for rng since I had boat loads of gems.
Awtd is severely underrated and should have a higher player count. It's so different from any other td and actually needs team building and strategizing to actually beat stages it needs more recognition
I think it’s just too complicated for most roblox players
This guy gets it
its hard for a new player to get into the game i tried but it was too overwhelming
Yh i can just agree with yall
Thing is people drop things if they get a little complicated thats the problem
But yh awtd is so underrated
and so does arcane oddysey yet it doesn't
I’m glad AWTD got a mention, haven’t felt like I wasent wasting away actually playing a TD.
I love a comment I read before: "Anime Adventures getting deleted had the same effect as Gol D Roger dying in one piece. All the copies are trying to get the treasure anime adventures left behind."
It can't be stated enough, that AWTD is THE most unique Anime tower defense game with all of its concepts, but it will NEVER receive the recognition it deserves because for the average player it's a little too complex and overwhelming. It's legit the only Anime Tower defense that tried to innovate, but you see what happens when you innovate. These new roblox devs figured out one thing: Why innovate if the same AA formula will work every time? These people that left AA only want to play AA clones at this point and don't actually care to play anything new, its kinda the sad reality, so since that same AA formula works, these Anime Tower defense devs will just keep putting out the same thing pumping out money like nothing. It's really sad when you think about it
It’s an unfortunate reality of roblox in general why be creative if you can just be rewarded for the same slop 🤷♂️

yea aa has FIENDS lol thanks
This is why I'm starting to enjoy Tower Defense Simulator now, I dont have to gamble to get what I want, and it's such a breath of fresh air from summoning, traits, and stats. It's the only TD game on Roblox that I don't die of bordeom from.
Yea that was my thoughts exactly when I first started playing
That game is Doo Doo imo
@@dekusan-6better than these copy paste afk simulators(i still like anime last stand and av tho)
@@Winnerlol I was just joking while saying that lol,I actually enjoy watching tower defense simulator videos since the game actually needs strategies and a brain,and yeah it's definitely better than most tower defenses and ASTD isn't a copy paste macro simulators (ALS&AD)so there's that
for me its too bland and boring you play the same stages which the same units all the time
To me the thing that makes Anime Vanguards not a instant skip compared to all the other AA clone attempts is the fact that Anime Vanguards releases a Vtuber unit on the release version of the game (most anime TD games either never add a Vtuber unit or add only a single one at a very late version, and its most likely always going to be Gawr Gura alone and without the rest of her group mates, and pretty much never anyone else more unique or slightly less known)
So the fact that anime vanguards had the battle pass unit of the release version be Shigure UI and not only that but also made her as the Emote NPC of the game meaning permenantly gonna be visible in the game lobby, showed me they have more unique and special character choises for their units compared to the other AA clones and gives me hope for them to do at some point updates of anime that AA never did (Like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Konosuba)
TDS is the saving grace of tower defense games, and that’s saying something.
fr. they are the only ones that actually host proper events (holiday events)
Tdx events are kinda mod but I will give them time since it came out last year
Tdx is a really good game, but they focus on quality instead of quantity, a huge update releases this week.
Absolutely agreed that game is peak
@@EvanChaturvedi-fq2nnand thats good
I'm honestly happy you covered this topic (have done so before) as a tower defense genre fan these games have always gotten on my nerves because they don't learn.
The anime IP is a blessing and a curse for these games as it doesn't let them focus on the core values of tower defense games and just turn into gacha fests where it's just grinding for stronger units forever. There's no depth or identity beyond it.
It's why I always rep games like TDS as they're actually a tower defense game that's attempting to be a tower defense game while still releasing quality maps, towers, events, and balance patches.
I genuinely don't understand how people can want to play the same version of a game over 3x times now.
It’s really just an aa nostalgia rush atp because once you’ve played one of these games you’ve played them all tbh
These games are copy and pastes through and through taking the same horrible practices from anime adventures and just replicating it for the sake of it because they know how desperate the "tower defense" community is for an anime adventures replica
Because Gacha
Anime vanguards also has some devs from anime adventures and some devs from anime last stand
Its getting quality updates but the scripts are messy bc half of the devs working on 2 games
Thanks for the info 🤝

I feel like the main thing why gambling for units is so present is because if the amount of animes. It's pretty hard to think of a way to obtain units without gambling. Tds works without gambling is because of the low of amount of towers they have.
hmm you actually bring a great point up here still im sure there is a way to at least make it somewhat viable without gambling but you'd have build the game a lot differently than it is rn because team composition would have to change
I honestly think thar anime vanguards vould surpass aa, but it needs to make holiday upds

techy only mistake was to not mention my goat AWTD
I did a few times lol
the current roblox anime TD games will look like a joke if some random chad devs decide to make an anime TD that has the same gameplay as arknight.
Im sorry guys but AV is the first TD game i played but i feel like they try to stop us from macroing big levels like igris and 4th stage raid by adding something that'd make it harder to do using tiny task
Like:
Adding god statues to last act was i believe their motive to prevent ppl from macroing it , its just that ppl are too lazy and find their way somehow
2. They added Medical Chakra feature to prevent macroing in Rengoku raid but they somehow failed there too
I think they are trying their best and listening to you i feel like AA was some kind of legacy ( My frnd used to play it he also said the same thing )
If they wanted us to stop macroing they should increase the drop rates for units and add 2x speed. But they're not going to do that because they want us to stay in the game longer for premium payouts, so they actually indirectly want us to macro. About the god statue stuff and sakura stuff, I honestly think they're trying to add a gimmick to make the game semi interesting but it doesn't work because is doesn't impact the game enough
@@doosey i see thats a good point too
Igris is good but Rengoku is pretty doo doo... and you can beat like 99% of the game without having Igris, but it requires strategy and we know 60-70% of the fan base aren't capable of that.
Tbh, I feel getting those 2 (and Alucard) is more of a luck flex rather than must-have units
Piss easy to roll for good mythic units too
@@dooseyif they increased the drop rates then the people would start crying "ThEse secRets arEnt eveN raRe!! How am I suPposed tO tradE tHem?" It is IMPOSSIBLE to satistfy everyone
I will say that Anime Vanguards and Anime Defenders were in the making for more than 8 months. Furthermore, Vanguards had already almost 300,000 People waiting in the discord and Defenders having 200,000 People. The only reason why there is “alot” of tower defence games is because most of them are either rushed which makes them look unpolished, with lots of bugs, glitches and etc. (No hate to other td games btw)
TDS is the Best becouse TDS somehow Survive 6 months without Update 2 times💀
TDS during those rough times in 2020-2021 got carried by what I like to call the "TDS TH-camr Uprising". All of us back then were honestly bored, but we didn't give up on TDS quite yet, so we waited and watched a ton of TDS videos. All the sudden, TDS youtubers were actually getting big. With some reaching 100K+
After the Solar Eclipse update tho... most TDS youtubers became irrelevant and their channels completely flopped after 2021.
Now here in 2024, we've actually seen a new wave of heavily growing TDS content creators. Along with some of the older channels that peaked in 2021 that got revived due to TDS being in its peak popularity throughout early-mid 2024.
As for us players, youtubers were the only general thing that kept the game alive in the harsh conditions of 2020-2021. Our way of perceiving TDS also drastically changed; we saw TDS as a meme game, not an actually strategy game anymore which is one of the other things I believe that kept the game alive.
Blox Fruit Update ..... Ahhhh Bro🌚🫥🌝
I truly never got the gameplay of these ANIME TD games
You gamble for OP units with a currency that’s hard to get, forcing you to grind and give the devs premium payouts, or just sell literally everything with robux, and then you get garbage, rinse and repeat
Once you do infact get said OP units, you afk the rest of the game and wait for a new update to repeat the same cycle
It breaks all the core principles of the TD genre, and has flooded it with scummy cashgrabs. My friends have been urging me to play anime defenders, yet they are the same people to hesvily bash on pet sim and sols because “it has good graphics”?
Once they play TDS, TDX, or BTD6, they will be shocked to find an actual fun TD game that requires you to think with good graphics
Ive broken out of the cycle these games are a giant time sink
Just mindless grinding for honestly nothing
Just for the next game to come out and have you repeating the same thing 😂
The funniest theory I stirred up in a pot is that how gamefam and crunchyroll went after AA and AFS because their popular, while-else bnr:R (boku no roblox: Remastered) survived due to its low player base and surviving 200 players, causing it to hide in the shadows. Same with other games that had deku and was dying out..
Also random question, how many country's is the GamefamxCrunchyroll "battlegrounds" game banned in?
tds still the best tower defense and best STRATEGY game rn
I feel like now that Anime Vanguards is out, people like me, who LOVED AA and grinded it not stop purely because I found it fun and rewarding, even as a pretty much free to play (VIP and sometimes battlepasses) (other than my 200+ eclipse portals without a secret) are no longer going to seek out new anime TD games. We’ve got that AA feeling again, so now the void left in December has been filled, and we are happy.
We HERE 🔥 title is crazy tho 😂
Unckage
No
Yessir (you know I had to do it) 😭😭😭
7:44 i got ONE thing, ONE reason i kept playing AA. It was because of the weekly tournaments
(Yap session ahead)
If you ignored THAT single gamemode which was basically the pvp of the game: AA's Weekly tournament was basically players who are trying to become the #1 player of the leaderboards so they can get some interesting unit with cosmetics that they could use or trade. "But isnt that just basically the normal leaderbord stuff???", well heres what makes it interesting. Every week, theres new challenges to face with other people that could be: do the most amount of kills, survive the most amount of waves, this specific element type does more damage/does less damage, etc., and everyones favorite. Traitless run. This Gamemode was the only one that gave strategy to the game. Every player looking for units to use, what unit is good, or bad for the gamemode. This was one of the BEST competitive gamemode AA had.
In my conclusion. AA was the best Anime Tower defense game OAT. (L yapper)
Tbh vanguards is a better copy then anime adventures like aa was good but not so good till the point that it will forever be the best
The slight glaze on anime vanguards we needed and wanted to hear from our fav Roblox yt
Ay man I like it genuinely hope it continues being decent tho
What you said about the lack of skill and strategy, I completely agree. I barely played AA because of this; from bloons to astd to aa, the sell rate decreased more and more slowly becoming more of a simulator game masked as a tower defense. You spend gems to get units that will help you get more gems with an auto clicker, is this not a simulator??
It’s basically a masked rng sim because it completely disregards actual tower defense features
@@TechyOP_ fr

yeah uhh, I say that anime tower defense games are mid asl, play any tower defense game, (except ANY skibidi toilet ones) like TDX or TDS, I mean sure it’s not as flashy and bright as anime tower defense games, but they get the job done, and WELL.
If you love tower defense games with microtransactions with zero effect on the gameplay then play Tower Defense Simulator. Because Tower Defense Simulator is the only classical Roblox Tower Defense that didn't use things such as 2x Exp or 2x Money. But if you love Anime and you love macro-ing then play Anime Vanguards. However, it depends on you. I don't blame you for which game is bad or good. In my personal opinion, I still love Tower Defense Simulator even Anime Vanguards release. Because I didn't watch Anime at all and it's the same concept as Anime Vanguards except with no gambling system. I also forgot that Anime Tower Defense is popular because it has more towers to use than the Tower Defense Simulator. Plus, it is so flashy to see. However, it's unfortunate that Anime Tower Defense (Except Anime Defenders) isn't in the Roblox Innovation Awards, but we'll be in the future.
Sorry for yapping too long.
Man, anime tower defense games are slowly infecting roblox like a plague. The worst thing is that theres no innovation in the genre. Like, if the genre is very famous, maybe someone did something original with it right? No. Every td game rn is a copy paste of anime adventures which was trash to begin with. Every time i see a roblox trailer on yt with the word "anime" on it im praying to the lord to not be a shameless aa clone
Fr bro it’s honestly just whoever can leech off anime adventures nostalgia the best wins

Checkout awtd
Atleast vanguards has something unique like the last stage of the last story
I think that the devs of these games are creating dupes of these games. For example Anime Reborn, Anime Vanguards, Anime Last Stands, and Anime Defenders all have extremely similar fonts, color themes, characters, animations, features and have so much similarity it feels like youre playing the same game. So I'm guessing its the same creators milking the same game by making new ones with very slight changes.

tdx was 2023 dawg. but yeah it does give the same vibe as others and DEF top tier. just not OG
These new tower defense games are just all the same. Example would be that there so called “secret” units aren’t actually “secret” units, you can get literally get them through gems requiring you to grind the game lots or by spending big amount of money instead of doing some sort of requirement.
Back when AA was still up you’ll rarely see players with secret units.

I really like the 'Anime TD' genre.
The devs using gambling methods in their games is not really a problem to me as I can macro. Its fun getting units from anime youve watched and continuously increasing your collection to 100% every update.
I understand it will get repetetive and for some that makes it boring, but for me I dont really feel it, Ill play for a couple hours, maybe play something else or take a 30 minute break and just come back. I dont feel any of the fatigue.
Also I feel a reason why people like these is literally because it doesnt require a huge amount of dedication to learning or increasing skill, meaning youre not really investing that much into it, therefore making it easier to play.
Adding to this, most of the time it doesnt require you full attention, unlike other games, so you can multitask playing the game and doing homework or home workout.
Whilst some people care about the devs getting money from kids and gambling addicts I dont really care because it doesnt affect me and who am I to say they cant get their bag? Predatory tactics exist to make money and theyre literallY EVERYWHERE. Not to mention, if a 6 year old is spending money on a robux for the game, chances are the parents let that happen. Its not really a big issue.
And yes, this does affect the front page because the game is popular so others will follow suit and employ similar tactics in their games, but you dont have to play these and sure they are taking the spotlight away from the subjectively good games that have close to no players, but THAT doesnt stop you from playing those games yourself either.
Lastly, people have the right to bash whatever games they want and im not against that, but it would be nice if people wouldnt mock someone for playing a game they might not be fans of, its immature and pointless.

I will never forget how many tries i had to do to get the tint task right in Rengoku's stage to get him after it finally worked for the first time
For some reason, Vanguards was the only Tower Defense that hooked me in, tried ASTD on release, didn't work, Anime Adventures, nay. So personally, it's the best for me at a deeper level
Hmm... you like an easy game I guess. TDS, TDX or doomsprite TD can make you have different point of view 😗😗
These Anime TD games are so popular because it's just a chill secondary game. It's something to shut your brain off and feed the craving for gambling.
Anime Vanguards is also extremely generous, I've gotten 100+ trait rerolls from update 0.5 alone. Comparing that to Anime Adventures, it took me multiple updates to get over 100 trait rerolls AS A P2W. AA is esentially Genshin Impact and AV is Wuthering Waves in terms of generosity. AV also seems to be going in the right direction in terms of content, having challenges that are anti-p2w such as the traitless event.
yea I love how charitable this game seems to be hope it continues
those anime tower defense towers always gotta have some long-ass cooldown
These Anime TD game just have the same formula of grind for the strongest tower and win. On the other hand TDS is very different since you can't just get the strongest tower and win, you still need to think in highly stressful situation (I haven't even been able to solo some mode because even though it still the same structure wave, it's still stressful)
I remember when tower defense games were about the friend's we made along the way. Now it's just about Robux and grinding. 😭
I feel like you forgot the biggest aspect of most tds games which is the aspect of trading, trading in AA was big, so huge to the point people would drop 200,000 robux on rerolls just to get a dio over heaven in the game. theres also the economy of anime defenders being so horribly inflated, blackmarket servers sell 50M gems for 500 robux or 5 dollars.
6:13 This is so true, i once went in an inf match with a rando who had no mythics but goku black, and bro stole ALL my takedowns >:(
Although I personally don’t like anime tower defense games that much, I think the best game to do it so far has been anime vanguards with the gem accessibility you mentioned earlier, and also being able to get a powerful unit like igris for free, although a bit of tiny task might be necessary 😅
The only reason why anime vanguards is more popular is because it has 3 types of gambling and how easy it is to get the material needed
We gonna forget that for once a gacha system has a pity to get good units (mythic pity).
honestly, Vanguards And world tower defence have been a very calming and enjoyable experience for me, way better than yelling at my screen over some bs in the live service games of today
Honestly I can see why you’d say that lol
Should be noted that while gamefam did lead to the reason of shutdown for AA, it was entirely the devs' decision to shut down despite even having new models made for the MHA characters.
interesting I always thought they just couldn't return
awtd just chilling the corner during all of this
Well said bro im a fan of anime vanguards though. I have been taking a break after the long macro sessions and instead im enjoying undertale adventures which, if you like Undertale and Tower defenses i recommend you check it out if you havent already!
Fun facts:The main reason AA got deleted is The owner is really want to reamove the game not got copyrighted
I am happy that tower defense take the spotlight in roblox category nowadays thanks to Anime Adventures influenced, because back in the days among other categories, tower defense is the smallest community and if we rate the highest genre in roblox it’ll be like this.
1. Battleground (Bloxfruit is the example)
2. Simulator (Petsimx is the example)
3. Roleplaying (Adopt me is the example)
Despite of Anime Adventures only has 50-70k average player every day, they impact a lot of developer not just Anime Tower Defense genre, and that is because of how insane the graphics, details and ui innovation the game has that many other game doesn’t have that time, the level of graphics and details to the map is not typical graphics you’ve ever seen in roblox. New generation always surpass the old generation but Anime Adventure is ahead of its time, if that game didn’t got shutdown, Anime Adventure will takeoever the tower defense genre ‘till this day. This is the first time i joined discord too because their discord server is organized and the mods/staff are well disciplined unlike Anime Vanguard they’re all have a pride and ego also Anime Adventure doesn’t have a problem interms of optimization despite of having insane graphics to lobby and map while tower defense nowadays always have a bugs, that’s why Anime Adventure is very well crafted game, made by passion, hopefully Script and Stray make another game, it doesn’t need to be a tower defense game again, i’ll still play it eventho a lot of players already forgot them, im a person who always support a developer that gives a really high quality game, yes other games always give their best to make a high quality game but they’re lack of optimization, Anime Vanguard take too long to optimize the game but look at the game right now, it always has a bug, from a delayguard nickname to a bugguard nickname, overall i’ll still play it, we also has one last tower defense on the list and that is Anime Reborn.
wouldn't really call blox fruits a battlegrounds game but true lmao
honestly, there should be a new sub-category; RNG-defenses because all of this anime TD stuff is not even a tower defense game. it's just sol's rng but you're playing a tower defense game.
@@TypeOfJar oh yea i forgot the rng is now becoming a thing yeyea
lowkey, i only played AA mainly for trading since i love trading up to get OP units with cool af cosmetics, so i hop AV will add trading in the future, making only secrets and limiteds tradable and not mythics like anime defenders
