    Part 1

    What is Neopian Battlefield Legends?

    Neopian Battlefield Legends is like your standard tower defence game, where the object of the game is to fend of the enemy team by placing towers to defeat and block of their path. You have the chance to play as Meridell or Darigan however both teams use the same towers.

    Enemies will come at you in many waves, the least being 20 and the maximum of 50, you will encounter many types of enemies which will be described later.

    ==============

    Part 2

    The Interface

    Once the game has loaded you will have the chance to choose the campaign (Currently only one campaign is available 'Battle for Meridell' ).

    After choosing the campaign you can select a map, currently available are;
    Lord Kass Invasion (Easy)
    Storming Meridell Castle (Medium)
    King Snarl Is Not Amused (Medium, NC item)
    Meridell's Counter Attack (Hard)
    Courtyard Ambush (Hard, NC Item)

    After you can choose your team, Meridell or Darigan.

    The game will then take you to the game field, i shall be using Lord Kass Invasion as the example.

    [​IMG]

    This is the game screen, parts of the screen are labelled from A-G these are;

    A. These are your coins, used to purchase towers as well as to upgrade your towers
    B. This is your wave number
    C. Your current Score
    D. This is your current health, as a enemy passed to the end it will decrease -10 hp per enemy, once it drops to 0 game over.
    E. This shows you what enemies are coming up next and their maximum health.
    F. These are your towers, used to halt the enemy, hover over them for more information.
    G. The play/pause button.

    [​IMG]

    A. This is where the enemy shall be advancing from
    B. This is where the enemy are headed to.
    C. This is the enemy route, they shall follow this path to the end of the screen. This can be manipulated to extend the time it takes for enemies to reach the end.
    D. Red areas are impassible and you can not build towers on them.
    E. This is your tower, the black circle is its range. Different towers have different ranges.


    ==============

    Part 3

    How To Play

    To begin play start by placing down any towers on the field, its a good idea to spend all of if not most of your coins at the begging of the game. After placing your towers press the play button, this will begin the first wave. Your towers will fire at any enemy that is in range and once you have defeated a foe you will gain some coins. You can upgrade, sell or use a towers special ability by selecting it at any point of the game, this will then bring up the relevant menu. You can pause the game at any point of the game by pressing the play/pause button.

    ==============

    Part 4

    Know Your Enemy

The enemies you may encounter range from the flying type to end of the wave boss's. Below is an over view for each team. The enemies will be listed in order of strength, weak - strong.

    I like the guide. :) This game is pretty challenging (for me at least) and this has helped.

    It's a fun game. I don't see it as a huge challenge if you're willing to spend all your money you get from the enemies. The real challenge comes from using as few towers as possible and still winning.

    One fun way is to change their path just using the cheapest towers and make a huge winding path. That does get really boring later on.

    It's nice that TNT has finally released a somewhat more complicated game! It's a bit like those other "tower defense" flash games online. But like Commy mentioned, the game isn't very challenging if you just make a huge maze with cheap towers.
