Top 5 Tower Defense games on Android

While Plants vs Zombies 2 has had a successful launch and a great fan following, it's an excellent time to discuss the best tower defense games available for Android. The principle of a tower defense game is simple: the player must defend a point against a regular and continual enemy invasion. To do so, the player must place "defense towers" at strategic places to kill them the incoming wave and stop the advance of the enemy. Different waves, points earned and a parallel upgrading of enemies and towers make it all exciting. Best of all, Google Play is full of Tower Defense games!
