A humble barman from Northern Scotland, Alfredo rose to prominence when he conquered England, Wales, and Ireland, after the English cricket team and a group of Irish potato farmers trashed his pub. Taking on the whole world however, will not be so easy. So Alfredo gathers together the finest fighting Scotsmen and sets forth in his Bagpipe Airship, on a mission to liberate global Scottish communities, one haggis factory at a time.
- Fight 24 zany enemies, from gun-toting Rednecks to Kangaroo Riding Aussie Shielas in bikinis.
- Face down 6 evil bosses, including Napoleon, Mussolini and Oda Nobunaga.
- Build 12 types of towers, from the traditional Scottish Porridge Cannon, to the foreign French Fondue Hose.
- Command 7 hero characters, including Alfredo, and foreign heroes such as Julius Caesar and Buddha.
- Fight through the 24 level campaign, or stage your ultimate battle in skirmish mode.
- Operate the Kilt-Lift-O-Matic, which provides a strong updraft for Scotsmen to descend from the Bagpipe Airship using their kilts as parachutes.
- Capture and hold oat fields to produce porridge to feed your army.
- Purchase upgrades for your Scotsmen and towers using money earned during levels.

A funny game for the first thirty minutes, but after that, it just got old.
Decent tower defence RTS game. Very funny with the types of units. Easy achievements too. Recommend for the price.
Sexy game. Makes you want to murder the French, English and so on. But is that a bad thing?
I have mixed feelings about this. The first game was incredible – funny, innovative and satisfying on many levels. This one improves on a lot of detail – the AI is better, the use of cover is much better, there is a lot of imagination and development over what was in the first, the Scotsmen all get named, there are little touches like Heroes being able to do more than just attack and more.
So why mixed feelings? It is a great game but a couple of things – Defend the Highlands worked best because the oppressed minority feeling worked better when it was Scotsmen at home, beset by outside forces, there are no cards/badges in this one…. And then there's the achievements. The achievements in this version are less diverse and are basically too easy. For the first game, I wrote a guide as some things were less clear – for this one you would not even bother. Surely, you think that is a good thing then? Not when I stop after doing the first level, play a skirmish battle and unlock 17/41 achievements in one skirmish.
I am not saying I need achievements to be harder to validate myself but I would like them to be more intricate. The targets on them are pretty low as well. Likewise, do we need pretty cards and badges, backgrounds and emoticons to enjoy the game? No, of course not, but I like to get badges for games that mean something to me in general.
Let me say this again – it is a much more detailed game, it improves on a lot of things over the first. Get the first one though and see what I mean – it is a similar feeling to Hero of the Kingdom where a good sequel was made that managed to lose some of the good parts of its simpler cousin.
Lastly, why write a review after only 2 hours played? I despise that behaviour normally. Because in those 2 hours I have 30/41 achievements and feel like I have the measure of the game. I am really looking forward to the rest of it – the videos look great for backgrounds, varied enemy types, etc and the new or adjusted features are pretty awesome. What I would say is that the basic game has an almost genius-level use of innovation with simplicity. They are good RTS games and funny as hell.
Just get the first game then consider this one.
The game's idea is fun and the game mechanics are not completly bad but you see the inexperience in the development, for example in the management of the zoom in the playing field: should be easier and faster to allow for better control over the game action.
The graphic is poor, i don't enjoy it.
Pretty dumb game. I suppose if you are the type that likes junior high boys (the ones that think they are funny but not liked by most other kids) humor and like wasting time aimlessly it might be okay. In my "CRAP" folder this easily wins the award for the worst game of the folder.
There's only one thing I don't like about this game n that is ya have to use the keys to move around the screen, be better with a joypad control.
If You enjoyed Defend the Highlands then you are guaranteed to enjoy this as well. It's pretty much the same game, but with some fantastic new weapons, and friends and foes, set in various countries around the world. It's great fun playing on levels that feature the Eiffel tower Sydney Harbour bridge and lots of other famous landmarks.
For anyone new to the games, it is Tower Defense meets Real Time Strategy, but done in a way that is just different enough to any other game of this type that you might have played. For people who are easily offended by nationality stereotyping and occassional offensive language then perhaps steer clear, but for anyone else who actually has a sense of humour and likes their humour just a bit on the 'wrong-side', they will find much to make them smile/laugh. There are a few times where I caught myself thinking "Did I just hear that right?".
IMPROVEMENTS
- I think overall the upgrade system is better, and you notice much more the positive effects of your upgrades.
- level design is good, with a great variety requiring you to evolve your strategy as the game progresses. I thought level design was good in the first game, but it seems to be even better this time around
- No bagpipes - well there are a few, but you no longer need to have your scotsmen play bagpipes to summon more Scotsmen. Now you attach your men to a large gear which spins a fan creating an updraft which Scotsmen can parachute down. The more Scotsmen you attach to the fan , the faster it goes, and the faster you get recruits. While the logic of this is crazy - it is a much better game mechanic, and means you have more scotsmen available for deploying on the battlefield (and you will need them).
- New weapons/gadgets are all fantastic. They really add to the gameplay and are quite diverse. It would spoil the game to go into detail about what these do, but they really do give you a lot to play with and try a number of different approaches. I still found the turnip gun & porridge cannons to be my primary weapons, but I had to experiment with strategies for using the new weapons to help me to get through the more difficult levels.
- Animation and model quality is better this time around. It was adequate in the first game (but still hilarious where you were laughing with it, not at it) , but you can see a real improvement in this game.
BAD STUFF
Nothing ! I love this game. However there were a few bugs noticed, and as this game is in early release at the time of reviewing, I will detail them for the benefit of the developer.
- Scotmen pathfinding - sometimes a scotsman will get stuck behind a barrier, usually if there are other scotsmen nearby, ie. in his path. This happened often enough to notice but not often enough to really ruin the gaming experience. Happens when in really close proximity to other scotsmen. Mostly seemed to happen against the sandbag barriers.
- Some levels have quite high terrain, and the camera can be difficult to control when you move over the high areas. Normally the camera stays zoomed out at the level that you have set with the mouse wheel, but on a high point the camera would suddenly zoom in too low, and so you would have to zoom out again. The result - as you pan from high to low and back again, and vice-versa - the camera starts behaving like a yo-yo. On some levels like Vesuvius I think it would have been helpful to let the camera actually zoom out a bit further, because it gets pretty close to the ground when you are hovering over your factory on this level.
Thats about it really. Most times I was too frantic trying to build up my defenses to notice anything. You end up playing the game zoomed out quite far, however there were still times when I had time to zoom in and watch the animations which are hilarious.
Took me 10 hours to get through the whole thing, and I think that is awesome value for a game of this price. Don't wait for it to go on sale, I highly recommended to anyone who enjoys tower defense/RTS games, and it should be a certain buy for any fans of the first game. Don't let early release put you off. This game - minus a few bug fixes - is completely playable from beginning to end.
Pished me pants laughing and used that to upgrade my porridge cannon, the deadliest weapon in Scottish history besides mooning
Soundtrack (music + voice acting): amazingly Scottish & funny
Storyline: hilariously crazy (first mission is to invade France because they refuse to build a haggis factory by the Eiffel tower..
Gameplay: classic and smooth point & click RTS mechanics packed with comedy
Graphics: good, well furnished 3D characters and environment, explicit and smooth animations, just right for my laptop.
Early access: as stated in their description, the only thing missing is the multiplayer mode they are planning to implement when they get enough backing from us.
So, get yourself well prepared for venturing forth into this satirical story of world domination :
1/ Find a pair of tartan trousers and put them on with no underwear
2/ Cut off both leg parts up to the fly and make a hat and a shoulder plaid out of each
3/ Well done! you are now wearing a kilt and a full Scottish outfit
4/ Dye your hair with a can of IRN-BRU to add even more credibility
5/ "Cruachan!!!" (that used to be my clan's battle cry)
10/10
