Casual Tower Defense Games Like Plants Vs Zombies

Plants Vs Zombies is the most fun I'd had playing computer games in awhile and I wanted to find more games like it. I haven't found any games quite like PVZ, but I have found other casual tower defense games that others may be interested in knowing about. I hope Plants vs Zombies 2 will come out one of these days.

If you want, you can skip directly to the List of Games like Plants vs Zombies.

Plants vs Zombies

My Favorite Game

Hopefully since you found this page about games like Plants vs. Zombies, you've actually played it before? If not, then you should check it out. In Plants Vs. Zombies, you are protecting your home from the zombies approaching it.

You must plant different types of plants to defend yourself, such as pea shooters that shoot at the zombies. You only get to pick a certain amount of plants for each level and it requires a little strategy because before you begin a level you will be shown the types of zombies that will be in it. You then have to figure out the best plants to use that will get rid of those zombies.

Below you'll find some tower defense games (most of them are casual tower defense games) that share some similarities with Plants Vs Zombies. Many of the other casual ones have mazes that the "creeps" (another word for the bad guys in a tower defense game) walk down instead of going in straight lines across the screen like in Plants Vs Zombies.


You can also get Plants vs. Zombies for the iPhone®, iPod touch®, or iPad® from the App Store℠. I now have it for both my computer and iPod touch. Hopefully I won't be tempted to buy it for any more systems.

Plant This!

Plant This! is a game where you try to stop a gopher from ruining your garden by planting flowers for defense.

Monster Mash

PC Only

Monster Mash is the latest casual tower defense game for the PC that I have been playing. The monsters walk through a maze to your village, and you must put towers on the grass to shoot at the monsters as they walk through the maze. If the monsters get to your village, then they will eat a villager. You only have so many villagers per level and you lose if the monsters eat all of them. Sometimes there are big monsters that are very hard to kill and those eat 2 villagers at a time.

You will encounter ground monsters and flying monsters with towers that will only affect one of those types. It gets a little challenging after the first few levels. There is a meter at the top that shows you the ratio of ground vs flying monsters that will be coming which helps. Even though it's not quite as good as Plants Vs Zombies, I am still having fun playing it.

You can try it for one hour for free before purchasing it.

Garden Defense

PC Only

Garden Defense is a casual tower defense game where you are defending your garden against insects. Most people seem to think this game is very fun, but a little short.

You can try it for one hour for free before purchasing it.

The Creeps!

The Creeps! is a fun tower defense game, and it can be pretty challenging. You not only have creeps walking down a maze while you try to shoot them with your towers, but you have obstacles in the way of you placing your towers that you also need to shoot. You can get the free ad supported game, Creeps! Zero or purchase The Creeps! from the App Store.

This video shows gameplay from The Creeps! 1.2.0 in Doorbuster Mode where your goal is to destory the door that the monsters are coming from.

    I've heard of it but didn't try it. I stopped playing any games on Facebook. Just fed up with the spam and money grab.

    the games on your list are nothing at all like plants vs. zombies. PVZ is not a simple mindless tower defense. PVZ is an RTS (real-time strategy) game like dune2 or starcraft. In pvz, your plants get easily destroyed and you need to fortify. In tower games like grave defense, you have pre-selected places to put your guns and your guns don't receive damage. There isn't much strategy involved. Its mindless crap.

    There is no game exactly like PVZ. And no it's not like Starcraft, it's much more casual.
