The squadmate selection screen for Mass Effect displays the six possible squadmates.

Shepard may only take exactly two squadmates in any "shore party," so choose carefully as Shepard cannot usually reselect squadmates after leaving the ship, and certain missions, especially major ones, may restrict Shepard's ability to return to the Normandy. Squadmates are chosen from a screen whenever Shepard leaves the SSV Normandy (or the Normandy SR-2 in Mass Effect 2). Later, in 2007 a game titled Flash Element TD sparked the tower defense boom in the oughts of the early 21st century.1 Requires Kasumi - Stolen Memory DLC pack (or LE)Ģ Requires Zaeed - The Price of Revenge DLC pack (or LE)ģ Temporary squadmate during the missions of the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC pack (or LE)Ĥ Depending on decision made during Virmire: Assaultĥ Requires Mass Effect 3: From Ashes DLC pack (or LE)Ħ Depending on if they survived Mass Effect 2ħ Temporary squadmate during the missions of the Mass Effect 3: Omega DLC pack (or LE)Ĩ Temporary squadmate in Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC pack (or LE), if aliveĩ Available in the Armax Arsenal Arena in the Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC pack (or LE), if alive A distinctive tower defense game was Master of Defense (2005), which gained incredible popularity and received the award of strategy game of the year.

These games led to a large number of tower defense maps that were created with a map editor. Later, tower defense started to become a separate genre thanks to such strategy games as Warcraft and Starcraft. The arcade game Rampart (1990) is considered to be one of the earliest representatives of the genre. Initially, tower defense did not exist as a separate type of game. In some tower defense games, the player must build a maze of towers to slow down the approaching enemies. The maps often look like a maze-like, along the edges of the path it is suitable to build the towers. The process of killing creeps is how towers can be upgraded to withstand stronger waves of enemies. Also, towers will be limited in capability and price. Place your towers effectively to use resources in the most efficient way to overcome the invading enemies.Įach enemy destroyed will give a certain reward usually in the form of currency. Each tower will have certain traits that make it better at defending against certain attacks. To do this, build towers that will attack enemies.

The main goal in these games is to kill incoming enemy creeps and prevent them from reaching a certain spot on the map like the entrance to your base. Tower defense (TD) is a popular subgenre of real-time strategy games.
