    A port of the PC game, Super Sanctum TD really redefined the genre for me, was almost like a real-time shooter in terms of needing to sell and upgrade along the way.

    The Sentinel series (latest installment: 4) is a classic, but a bit too tough for me. And the upgrades are so expensive, they really feel like they're pushing IAPs.

    Fieldrunners I wasn't so keen on 'cos it doesn't have fixed paths. But I completed it anyway.

    The Anomaly series is an interesting tower offense choice, where you choose your route to attack. Again, a bit like a real-time game cos you are constantly using bonuses.

    Blooms TD 5 is also not bad, but a bit cartoonish.

    Yes! The Geodefense games are great. I still play them even though they haven't been updated in forever. Wish the dev would come back and make some new Geo games.

    I like the geodefense games, just be aware that at least on my device neither are currently working with Ios 8 or an iphone 6. So make sure there is an update before you purchase either of them.

    I also give a thumbs up to Fieldrunners 2 and the kingdom rush series.

    Same for me. I have iPhone 5 and an iPad Air and on iOS 8 they don't work.
    Doubt they'll get an update though

    Far from being an expert on the genre but...

    Fieldrunners 2: Fieldrunners (the original) was the definitive TD for many years and this sequel is everything we loved in the first and more.

    Kingdom Rush Frontiers: Lots of humor and charm and very well made with unlocks and upgrades that keep you returning over and over again.

    Anomaly Warzone Earth: The best tower offense that really burst that market open and jaw dropping visuals. No longer in the app store so if you don't have this one Anomaly 2 is for you. (I have not played Anomaly Defender.)

    Those three are your TD bible and the others branch from that based on your taste. TapDefense was my very first td on the iPhone. Star Wars Hoth is a favorite because it's... well... Star Wars. GeoDefense is a classic if you like it's visual style, the gameplay will not let you down. The Sentinel series is awesome as well.

    Note: I don't consider PvZ to be a td, it's a lane defense, but still a must have in a similar strategy genre. Same with Metal Slug Defense, it's a castle defense, well done though. Otherwise they would be listed but I don't consider them to be in the discussion.

    Good stuff. Just spent one whole day on Cursed Treasure 2- the upgrades path was actually very well done and fair. Is Demons Vs Fairyland any good? Can't find anything about CarrotFantasy 2.

    Demons vs Fairyland has the same feel as with Cursed Treasure 2 (towers can only be placed on specific areas decided by you, upgrade system), it is good, but Cursed Treasure 2 is way better.

    CarrotFantasy 2 was pulled from the appstore, I dont know why, but was able to get it for 99 cents when it was still available.
