Best known for Call of Duty: Zombies, Activision Publishing has recently released their latest iOS title Duck Commander: Duck Defense — a new tower defense game led by television’s first family of duck hunting, the Robertson’s. In the game creatures of the wild have joined forces to push the Robertson’s, makers of the top-selling Duck Commander brand of duck calls, off their Louisiana Bayou homestead. It’s up to Willie, Si, Phil and Jase to use their tools and a healthy dose of redneck ingenuity to fend off these animal by any means.

Duck Commander: Duck Defense combines the fun and enthusiasm the Robertson’s are known for with the dynamic strategy of a tower defense game. Three tower types (hunting blind, tree stand and ATV garage) and over 40 possible tower upgrades will test player’s skills over 15 levels of Louisiana forest, swamp and countryside. Players will need to depend on their carefully planned defenses, duck calls and power-ups to turn the tide against invading ducks, squirrels, beavers, crafty possums, magical gators, mech bosses and more. The adventure also features an endless survival mode that places players against the infinite wrath of nature, with leaderboards to see how you compare to other players.
