LEGO Star Wars Battles: PVP Tower Defense (LSWB) is a real-time multiplayer mobile game developed by Playdemic. It allows players to select from a diverse assortment of Star Wars heroes and vehicles to engage in epic battles against other players in various galaxies.

Collect and Upgrade

In LEGO Star Wars Battles, players get to build powerful armies on either side of the galaxy. This is achieved by collecting and upgrading LEGO Star Wars characters, vehicles, and troops. For those seeking a lighter and more casual experience than LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, LEGO Star Wars Battles could serve as a viable alternative.

Mobile Gameplay

LEGO Star Wars Battles introduces a fresh take on mobile gaming by blending competitive battling, character collection, and tower defense gameplay, all wrapped in LEGO's classic appeal and humor. Despite the thrill of deploying characters and vehicles across the galaxy, the game does not allow players to choose their allegiance, whether to the Dark Side or the Force, which could have added an interesting dynamic. The game instead relies on cards to determine the players' alignment in the galaxy.

Game Currency and Upgrades

Any modifications or upgrades to your card deck necessitate the use of in-game currency, this is arguably the game's most significant drawback. For example, upgrading a character like Darth Vader demands five 'charges'. Towards the end of the game, players enter a No Construction phase where the energy gauge doubles its speed.

Winning Tactics

At this juncture, players must deploy units to either destroy the opponent's base or defend their own. The player with the most operational bases at the end of the game is declared the winner. Alternatively, a player can strive to obliterate all of the opponent's bases to secure an immediate victory.

Final Verdict

While LEGO Star Wars Battles offers a unique blend of gameplay styles, its execution is somewhat underwhelming. As a PVP tower defense game, LEGO Star Wars Battles falls short in performance. Although the game can be enjoyable for fans of the genre, especially with the charm of LEGO figures animated to life and the humor ingrained within, the enjoyment tends to be brief due to the repetitive nature of the gameplay.
