When it comes to epic battles within the Star Wars universe, one of my favorites has to be the Battle for Hoth. It was a pivotal battle for the Galactic Empire as they tried to destroy the Rebel Alliance’s Echo Base. It was also the first time Star Wars fans were introduced to the now iconic AT-AT walkers. Lucky for Star Wars fans, THQ Wireless has just released Star Wars: The Battle for Hoth on the iPhone.
Star Wars: The Battle for Hoth has players assuming the role of the commander of the Rebel forces as they defend the shield generators from Imperial ground troops. How exactly would the Rebel forces do this? By tower defense, of course! It’s your duty to properly place defensive units on each level in order to stop waves of Imperial forces from destroying them. Although, if you know anything of the Battle for Hoth, then you could already suspect how this ordeal will play out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun “trying” to defend Echo Base.
The game features 15 levels, with two game modes and two difficulty settings and has been released just in time for the 30th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, which if you weren’t aware, is the movie the battle for Hoth took place.
