Tower Defense games have generally fallen out of favor in the mainline gaming industry in the 21st century. There are very few tower defense games in the AAA market, and even if they're there, it's usually as part of a gimmick or a minigame. Thus, Flash games have had time to refine and innovate on the formula by themselves. The Kingdom Rush series is probably the best example of this innovation, with many imitators coming in. One of them is the Incursion series. Let's look at the first one.

To play Incursion, simply run the game with whatever SWF player you have.

Imagine Kingdom Rush with just different types of barracks, and you'll get the gist of this game. There are three basic units at your command - soldiers, archers, and wizards. Up to three units can reside in each of your tower. That means that you can have a tower housing one of each unit or have a dedicated blocking tower with just soldiers. 

You don't need to fill each tower, but you won't be able to upgrade the troops until you do. Each unit has a surprisingly large upgrade tree, which is fantastic in terms of strategic flexibility and that, coupled with the gems you can use to upgrade your army, give you a fantastic sense of progression.

All in all, this is a fantastic tower defense game. You need to give Incursion a try if you like the genre.
