Not a lot of real time strategy games are designed specifically for your 12 year olds. Conventional strategy games involve lots of complicated details and a comprehensive micro management in order to succeed that it would be hard to be digested by young ones. Crave Entertainment thinks otherwise. They are coming out with Defendin’ De Penguin, a strategy game for your kids. It will be released with a Wii and DS version.

The objective of the game is to fend off the attacks of hungry predators that are out to get the town’s food supplies. Sounds simply right? Players must use precision timing and cunningness to survive. Players must choose from 8 tower types to defend their town. Then you have various ammunitions such as ice cubes, snowballs, icicles, and frost to throw at your opponents.

You play as the penguin Little Blue. You can upgrade a tower, fish for money, and get special items on the map. Towers can be upgraded to increase attack range, and strength. Attacking creatures include wooly mammoths, seals, snow men, snapping turtles and a lot more.

Defendin’ the Penguin will be out this month.
