I enjoyed this fun TM game despite it falling short of greatness. There weren't any technical glitches, it involved very little learning curve and it's accessible to all levels. There were however just a few misses that stop it from being great.
Pros
- Easy to master game functions
- Some strategy required on mid to high levels to achieve gold
- Quick movements with palpable, fun game play

Cons
- No difficulty setting (I achieved gold on all levels within 3 days)
- Brevity (relates to point above, not necessarily the number of levels)
- No bonus or additional challenges after achieving overall gold (IMO this should be included on ALL games, not reserved solely for CEs)
- Replayability

Overall
Fun variation on standard TM fare with inclusion of weather theme as strategy challenge. Spot on for beginner-intermediate. Limited challenge for advanced. Short-lived fun for $7.

I recommend this game!
Save the day as the leader of the Rescue Team! Easy to play, challenging to master and packed with fun, Rescue Team 3 is the best one yet!

Like many other reviewers, I have also downloaded and played Rescue Team 1 & 2 and found them to be pretty standard but still solid TM fare.
This latest effort is simply quite boring. There is nothing new or interesting about any of the characters and no story but plenty of pointless running around, chopping wood and hiring workers (I still don't know what you are meant to do with them once they're hired). Each level is completed fairly quickly, so game time and re-playability are minimal.
Unfortunately this is a 'no buy' for me. Save your credits or money for something else.
I don't recommend this game.
Command an epic band of dwarven mercenaries in this richly detailed tower defense game!

BFG doesn't have enough tower defense games, and this one is addictive.
Pros
+ Fun game play with cute characters
+ Good range of towers with upgrades possible plus 2 'bonus' challenges

Cons
- Too short (I finished ALL levels with 3 gold stars after 2 days of game play)
- No tutorial level for beginners (game strategy can be easily worked out after a few test runs, so don't give up)

Overall, if you love tower defense games then you will devour this. An easy purchase for me, I just wish it came with more levels.
I recommend this game!
