Crystal Defenders Hitting XBLA Wednesday Too

March 9, 2009 10:30 AM

The Days of Arcade may not kick off until next week, but Microsoft's got a double dose of Xbox Live Arcade goodness lined up for this week. Not only are we getting Peggle, but we're also getting a downloadable Final Fantasy-themed tower defense force game.

As with Peggle, Crystal Defenders will sell for 800 Microsoft Points ($10). The Tose-developed, Square Enix-published Xbox 360 download has players strategically placing units and characters from Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (DS) along an enemy's path. The objective is to stop the enemies before they reach your base and steal your crystal.

  PixelJunk Monsters was $10, Savage Moon was $10, I'm pretty sure there's been one or two on Steam for $10 or more.

  pixeljunk monsters, defense grid were both worth $10 imo, why not this (if it's good)?

    actually defense grid is $20 (non sale on steam). I don't know if it's worth that much, but 10-15 is fine imo

  Hey guys, there are about 500 free flash-based tower defense games on the internet, and I bet some of them are better than this. (I mean even without looking, statistics will prove me right)
  
  Paying for this is like paying for Spider Solitaire or Freecell.
