As someone who always felt overwhelmed by the complicated strategy games, I really have fallen in love with these tower defense games recently. To me they are the perfect example of games you can jump right into and have fun, and only worry about deeper strategy later as you want.
Plus for me a huge plus is the pure enjoyment of watching the emergent interactions of the creatures and defenses. It's the perfect combination of a toy and a game.
I still think the free Curator Defense is my favorite just because of its pure simplicity. But if you are looking for a richer deeper experience, here's a shareware game which has some nice graphics and a much longer gameplay with much more variety:

Master Of Defense is a wonderful strategy game that lets you assume the role of a brave hero, who has been chosen to save the ancient kingdom from the hordes of monsters. The challenge of the game is to ward off relentless attacks of monsters and prevent them from capturing people in your castle. You do this by building towers on the way of the hordes and casting spells. Defeating monsters yields rewards. You get rewarded for every killed monster and gain a bonus at the end of each attack. To improve your winning chances, you must invest into building new towers and upgrading the old ones in order to increase their firepower, fire speed and range.
