Elite Forces Defense is a Tower Defense game where you take the role of a "hero" unit while you place down towers. Its a bit similar to toy town defense in that regard. But various towers upgrade your abilities

Very nice.  Even has an online map editor.
I get the feeling from playing it that there is a lot of strategy that could come into play.  Coders clearly had fun with this one and implemented some very cool stuff.

I am also very impressed with the way they did the "Hero" part of it.  Basically in addition to the normal stationary tower defenses, you have a "hero" you can move around on the screen.  Normally i really dislike this idea since i dont like to micro manage in a TD game.  But this is a great compromise because you dont target or shoot for your hero, which means you can basically just move your hero someplace and leave them there for most of the time.  So very minimal guidance is needed.

Sorry for the short opening post, I posted it from school and had to hurry to the buss

I couldn't figure out how to play the game, so the evil guys just marched right in and killed me. I do NOT want to read a zillion pages of info in order to be able to play a simple TD game >_<

You need to click & drag to place the towers. I got hammered the first time on it too.
