Report an issueMikado Defenders: an original feudal Japanese defense simulation for the iPhone / iPod touch!
In Mikado Defenders players deploy samurai foot soldiers, archers, and other units, desperately attempting to defend their fortress from an all-out demonic attack. It’s tower defense, with a uniquely Japanese twist!
Set in the Sengoku Era—a time when Japan was torn asunder by civil war—
Mikado Defenders features historical locations such as Edo and Osaka, renowned samurai commanders including Uesugi Kenshin and the “One-Eyed Dragon” Masamune, powerful Guardian Spirit allies, giant demonic enemies, an in-depth castle improvement system and more!
Special Characteristics:
- Castle Improvement –
Build your base up from a humble campsite to an impregnable fortress, complete with barricades and turrets! Investing in your castle is vital if you’re to have any hope fending off the Skull Wheel and other massive demons!
- Guardian Spirits –
Hold off the attacking demons for long enough and your castle will attract the aid of mystical allies. A single attack from one of these Guardian Spirits boasts the power to turn the tide of battle! Guardian Spirits also improve with your fortress; the stouter your defenses, the more powerful your ally!
- Samurai Commanders –
Reinforcing your castle and successfully destroying a “boss” giant demon has the chance of drawing a new samurai commander to your side! Recruit Oda Nobunaga, Sanada Yukimura, Date Masamune, and more! Each commander has their own special characteristics, and these abilities will prove vital in staging a successful defense!
- Class Change System -
Each unit will be promoted to an elite class by increasing its level to certain point!
-Taste of The Traditional Japan Art -
Not only the in-depth tower defense game system, Mikado Defenders features the Japan Art taste throughout the game, inspired from such art style as “ukiyo-e” paintings, and “sumi-e” paintings.
Other Features:
- Simple yet strategic game play! - Intuitive goals: place your troops on the map, fend off attacking demons, and guard your castle! - Easy controls: deploy samurai, select commanders, and unleash powerful guardian spirit attacks through intuitive taps and flicks! - Play on your terms: you can suspend games mid-level, and come back to them later, picking up right where you left off! - Selectable music: enjoy the provided ZUNTATA soundtrack or listen your own tunes!

8 of 25Update more level and more units,and make all commenders can use in endless mode please, that will be 5 stars rating,if not,3 only,thanks
Plz update
Love the gameplay and visual artwork but could be longer. On the map it looks like there are two more missions to be unlocked but the areas are just for visual representation. Overall great game. Need to configure a strategy so I can get the castle and unlok new generals.
In order to unlock a commander, you must upgrade your fortress to castle, which costs a lot. Every gold you invest in the castle is a gold you can't use for vital defences. The game is already challenging, even on easy, and the added challenge of conserving money makes this a very difficult game. I really like everything about this game, the artwork, the sound, the interface, and the gameplay.
I wil begin with what could be improved upon. •only 4 types of units to deply •on the harder maps(multiple paths) it is insanely hard to save enough money to get the biggest castle because you must defend from 4 sides Besides these 2 issues this game is amazing. I love the recruiting method for commanders, (although I am unsure whether playing harder difficulties can unlock new commanders or not.) I feel very accomplished when i recruit a new commander with a useful ability, and i love the guardian spirit and commander abilities. They make this game above-average, when it would otherwise not be very good because there are only 4 units to deploy
This is a fun game! Needs to be easier though: easy difficulty should actualy be easy. Make it easier to get more commanders. I am on the last level and cannot beat it. Add more places. And more units. Be able to have multiplayer and different sides! More enemies!
Great but really needs an update.
I love this game so much! It still needs improvements, new maps, and multiplayer would be amazing! But other than that it was exceptional.
