Astd was revolutionary, it was litrally the foundation to anime tower defence, without it i most wouldn't even have been playing anime tower defence, it created a community that branched to other anime tower defence
i feel like astd introduced a bunch of people to the td genre as a whole, you had your bloons your plants vz zombies, which everyone knew, but the casual audience wasnt that aware of td, so you mix the casual audience of roblox, and casual audience of anime and introduce them to a very simple td game, it creates an interest for more casual people to the td genre
man astd was really the turning point for all the anime tower defense games out there, it may be outshined but its respect is up there Edit: stop arguing that AA is better. I never mentioned AA didn't I? So Shut up
@@Teddy44471 Ofc it did everyone takes inspiration from others and lets be honest by the first few updates aa was basically its own thing it couldn't be more different and it revolutionized the modern anime tower defense mechanics that are even copied 1-1 to this day it also had a complex and good trading system
@LazarJevtić-j9yastd was like the first tower defense game have gacha system , short map for grinding and evolve system Aa being different in gameplay and have some mechanic is different (the trait/stat wasn't suitable for tower defense)
great recap, i played literally all of these games and you barely missed much, great editing too- I have no clue how you only have 168 subs but now I'm one of them.
Astd was the first tw I ever played, I started playing because at the time I was very obsessed with anime and from that point onward it became one of my fav Roblox game ever
Its crazy how games like aether rush and arena tower defense can get overshadowed by other games. I think those 2 are pretty well made considering its made by a couple of people.
One of the greatest TD that had incorporated past mechanics and made them more enjoyable is Tower Battles as they created maps with paths as well as challenges to get special skins/units where you have to use barricades or other buildings in order to lead the enemies to a longer path creating difficulty as well as allowing people to create various strategies to beat maps.
My first tower defense game was astd, and I always loved it until today but after its demise it was kind of forgotten but now that they announced astdx I think when it comes out it will be the only thing I will play for the rest of my life
Fruity Sama announced that Astd Prime would be starting testing the week im commenting this. This is huge for me because I have been playing Astd since it was released and am pretty good. Like 25+ 7 stars
Astd done tower defense genre right, mix of modern style and classic, I miss playing that game with my friend's and immediately jumping to infinite mode 🔥
ASTD is the best anime tower defense game. I love the character animations, specially those from cut scenes. The way that even you, a nobody can reach lb just by grinding and being good. I still remember how thrilling it is as onr wrong move/time stop/timing/abilities can ruin your 2hrs lb run with other members. Also, when the trading system first came out. I got a lot of good stuffs since there's no unit value yet haha. My issue with other atd games is to name specifically from AA where no one talks in the lobby. There's no skills required. Only pay2win gets to have the leaderboard. The animations are meh, though it is what others wants. Let me ask you casual players of AA. What's the end goal after acquiring all those meta units that u want that you spent days for? It's not like you can do lb run as you dont have uniques. New update then replace unit and repeat? What i like about AA is that the powerspike is not that huge. Countless updates and some older units can still somewhat hold itself. The maps are amazing, specially with good graphics.
Why did you not mention tower heroes? It is a massive tower defense game with a full unique roster of towers and amazing art style.I hope you make a video about it sooj
Honestly I love Tower Defense games on Roblox. I remember playing all the way back in 2017 Tower Battles and battling in every event up to now, then I played during the beginning of Tower Defense Simulator’s release, before the first ever event. Then I saw the gem and the great grandfather of all of those shitty anime TD games, All Star Tower Defense, I loved ASTD.. still the best anime tower defense game in my opinion (it’s getting a whole rewrite btw). Afterwards I played Tower Blitz, despite being discontinued it was one of the best Tower Defense games I’ve ever played; played that on release too back when the starter tower was Conscript, and I MUST SAY… Overlord was the best TD boss fight for its time, the intro, the theme; everything. I sadly kind of quit most TD games until TDX came out, peak of all TD games. (I quit most games except for TDS and TDX, TBZ will be forever missed in my memory since it got discontinued for a cashgrab called Evade.) The few TD games I disliked, AA was meh for me, and STD is.. well.. brainrot for little toddlers. And I won’t even talk about the trillion of anime tower defense games that are just copy-pastas after copy-pastas of AA.
tbh its the best in my heart But the new wave dev are ruining the game with DBZ upd and many bug Hope they cook the neww upd since the trailer is fireee
Ik you didn’t mention awtd and Ik it doesn’t have alot of players but awtd is a amazing td game and I think deserved to be mentioned as it was and still is a amazing td game it’s only have one decently bad upd and that was the dbz upd
Great video, Personally love TD games been playing them since 2014 but only started playing them on Roblox since 2019 mostly the anime ones though but even then it’s such a wave of nostalgia to watch this video
A interessing tower defense that could be big is Tower Heroes, it haves good events and good designes, really good troop mechanics. But sadly, the game is ofuscated by others that are not too good as him.
when astd came out yeh people were like yeh this is pretty cool its the first roblox game to do this. Nowadays its like oh another tower defense game whats different about this one and is this one also just another like cash grab
Mostly of the tower defense now is just gambling especially the anime genre one maybe not all of the anime genre but the one i see used the gacha system
I hate all the tower defense games now because they all copy AA and have the same money hungry gimmicks. Insanely hard to get materials to craft 6 stars so the devs can get premium benefits. Insanely rare traits that can basically be bought with robux. Really rare units in events in order to farm more premium benefits. Finally monetization everywhere
i quitted the tower defense games because the anime tower defense games useally have trait rerolls system making getting into leaderboards hard and pay to win
you mean alt defender it has really good potential but their are just things that ruined the game that's why it didn't make much impact on the TD history

Astd was revolutionary, it was litrally the foundation to anime tower defence, without it i most wouldn't even have been playing anime tower defence, it created a community that branched to other anime tower defence
I think the best part of og astd was the challenge since there were no traits or overly broken units. It really pushed using teamwork to beat levels
And ASTD is basically the foundation of GAMBLING ADDICTING TOWER DEFENSE GAME
@@RDT3340 gambling systems were already a thing all across Roblox, it was bound to come eventually
@@RDT3340 astd gambling was not that heavy compared to that slop AA
@@RDT3340Astd is in my opinion the least gambling anime Td game. It having no traits made it feel free and f2p friendly

Edit: stop arguing that AA is better. I never mentioned AA didn't I? So Shut up
Nah,indirectly only,since all games copied aa
Aa took some inspiration from astd tho and astd
@@Teddy44471 Ofc it did everyone takes inspiration from others and lets be honest by the first few updates aa was basically its own thing it couldn't be more different and it revolutionized the modern anime tower defense mechanics that are even copied 1-1 to this day it also had a complex and good trading system

@LazarJevtić-j9yWithout astd there would be no aa.
good video man, i rlly miss old astd
great recap, i played literally all of these games and you barely missed much, great editing too- I have no clue how you only have 168 subs but now I'm one of them.
Cube defense and Tower heroes were my tower defense GOATS
Tower Battles actually released in 2017, not 2011. The roblox place was made in 2011.
Astd was the first tw I ever played, I started playing because at the time I was very obsessed with anime and from that point onward it became one of my fav Roblox game ever
seems like a “research” type videos like this is GREAT for you. keep doing it. keep making a “entire history about _____”. youll be super successful
This is genuine well edited and well made content, its dissapointing you dont get more views. Keep up the good work man! (i wrote this with 1 hand)
Its crazy how games like aether rush and arena tower defense can get overshadowed by other games. I think those 2 are pretty well made considering its made by a couple of people.
astd will be and forever be my favorite tower defense game
Amazing video!
More subs are very much deserved!
One of the greatest TD that had incorporated past mechanics and made them more enjoyable is Tower Battles as they created maps with paths as well as challenges to get special skins/units where you have to use barricades or other buildings in order to lead the enemies to a longer path creating difficulty as well as allowing people to create various strategies to beat maps.
Every game after astd is plagued with trait, stats and .5 mythics and .01 secret units f2p in most modern tower defenses is impossible, good video btw
W vid I thought you would have more subscribers because of the really good editing. You really deserve my sub as 109th
ngl your video are amzaing but the upload schedule could be better ngl but u video are so amazing they make up for the lack of videos:)
next vid will be out next week for sure :D
man nice video this needs to get more views
keep going thats a really good video
9:50 BRO THIS WAS PEAK LIFE
anime mania and anime adventures really were revolutionary for anime games in general
Tower battles was the first game I ever played good times back then
You Deserve much More SUbs :)
amazing stuff man best part was the end fr
i wish more tower defense games were like tower defense simulator tower battles tower blitz etc
most tower defense games are now just gambling
The potential tower blitz had was crazy 💔💔
Theres tower heroes as an absolute goat
W vid sad some youtubers don’t get views also ima be yours 105th sub remember me
Bro u r so underrated thanks for making this vid
tower battles clears any other tower defense game to come out since its inception
you shoulda mentioned how anime last stand releasing caused a wave of a ton of TDs release after seeing how good it did with anime adventures gone.
?
all star tower defense revolutionized all anime tower defense games for generations to come
13:00 you missed pixel gun tower defense
My first tower defense game was astd, and I always loved it until today but after its demise it was kind of forgotten but now that they announced astdx I think when it comes out it will be the only thing I will play for the rest of my life
nice video! Anime Chronicles coming in 2025 to take anime TDs to a dif level
ASTD was truly the beginning of anime tower defense.
Fruity Sama announced that Astd Prime would be starting testing the week im commenting this. This is huge for me because I have been playing Astd since it was released and am pretty good. Like 25+ 7 stars
Please do the history of pokemon games on Roblox next
Tower Battles was made in 2018, it overwrited another game which was made in 2011.
what game
@@SpatialDistanceit was just planet’s account starting place

bro ur video was so goated i thought u must hav 10k subs
bro ultimate tower defense carried me in lockdown
from objects, to battles, to simulator, to anime and skibidi
all star in its prime was amazing
One of the first tower defense game is tower battles but it died out due to the update schedule
tower battles was released in august 2017, tower defense simulator was released in june 2019 (i was there for both somehow)
Amazing video
I need 10 more by tonight 🙏
😂
Tower blitz is my fav for the two path upgrades and lore and the bof(bliss of finality) i wish it had more updates

good stuff bro
hi
you forgot to mention that astd is making a new game thats coming out soon. astdX
10:11 this was done like a year earlier, 2019. Arknights is a 2019 tower defense gacha game
AWTD is the best TD made on roblox. Hell, maybe the best TD game ever developed. The code is that complicated, no one else can interpret it.
*BTD6.*
Omfg these gambling kids getting out of hand. Tds and tdx far surpass it
tbh its the best in my heart
But the new wave dev are ruining the game with DBZ upd and many bug
Hope they cook the neww upd since the trailer is fireee
Make more videos like that pls:)
nice video dude
great video
To sum it up
It’s either good or shit no in between
You were cooking on the last part
Making a tower defense video and not including tower heroes is WILD
fun fact astd is making a new game
Ik you didn’t mention awtd and Ik it doesn’t have alot of players but awtd is a amazing td game and I think deserved to be mentioned as it was and still is a amazing td game it’s only have one decently bad upd and that was the dbz upd

ASTD MY KING
A interessing tower defense that could be big is Tower Heroes, it haves good events and good designes, really good troop mechanics. But sadly, the game is ofuscated by others that are not too good as him.
"tower defense battles" also tds was released in 2019 not 2018
My favorite td is tower heroes. Best forever.
Astd is the first game tower defense on roblox but the best tower defense game is anime adventures!☕
phenomenal video
dude tower batles was realised in 2017
the place was created in 2011 but game wasnt untile 2017 ( i bet you cant find videos older then 2017)
when astd came out yeh people were like yeh this is pretty cool its the first roblox game to do this. Nowadays its like oh another tower defense game whats different about this one and is this one also just another like cash grab
What do yall think the best anime tower defense game atm? Like quality of life and content wise?
wait did i skip it or did he just not mention awtd
@@Nightlife010 yea i totally forgot ab that one 💀
Mostly of the tower defense now is just gambling especially the anime genre one maybe not all of the anime genre but the one i see used the gacha system
TB DID NOT get made in 2011
ts is too underrated
i miss astd
Tower defense simulator is still the best ngl
tower battles the goat
anyone remember ctd (critical tower defense)?
I loved this video man
But i will die on this hill
Traits ruined the td scene
ultimate tower defense released in 2020
ANIME ADVENTURES CAME BACKKKKK
Anime vanguards is the sucsessor to AA
Outro😂🔥🔥
I hate all the tower defense games now because they all copy AA and have the same money hungry gimmicks. Insanely hard to get materials to craft 6 stars so the devs can get premium benefits. Insanely rare traits that can basically be bought with robux. Really rare units in events in order to farm more premium benefits. Finally monetization everywhere
Also zero competitive leaderboard because theirs too many options and variety so the entire community just turns gambling addicts.
Nah cuz back when tower battles was a top tds game...
i quitted the tower defense games because the anime tower defense games useally have trait rerolls system making getting into leaderboards hard and pay to win
Really? 🫥🫥
Where is anime world tower defense
Underated
damn you forgot to put aa ig
Ima need more songs bro
Women TD was peak
Anime defenders has really dropped off with its player count even after dropping update after update and the updates actually being decent.
anime defenders economy just fucking sucks and just an alt reliable game
you mean alt defender it has really good potential but their are just things that ruined the game that's why it didn't make much impact on the TD history
W video holy
wheres tower heroes
Peak content
Blud not mention Anime Last stand ggs
good video
Imo u cant get much better than astd
i just want anime adventures bruh
Your not going to believe this
