Out at midnight: Sentinel 4: Dark Star is a sci-fi themed tower defence game for iPad and iPhone
Tower power
Sci-fi tower defence game Sentinel 4: Dark Star has just hit the App Store in New Zealand. That means it'll be shooting its way on to the UK store at midnight tonight. Which is nice.
The game sticks pretty closely to the tower defence playbook, especially in the early skirmishes. There's a path, there are some aliens, now build towers and murder the aliens as they walk along said path.
It's fun if you like that sort of thing, and fans of the series will likely lap it up. Plus there's a huge wodge of game here, so you probably won't feel too short changed.
Sentinel 4: Dark Star will hit the UK later today. When it does it'll set you back £2.99 / $4.99. So there you go.
