Rolling in the heat --- Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers Review
Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers brings a quality and enjoyable tower defense style game in its third installment in the series. Although the story and cutscenes tend to drag, the overall gameplay is great fun. Even if you’ve never played a game in the Dillon series, I recommend giving this a try.

Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers has turned into a nice eShop surprise. Why Nintendo isn’t releasing this full priced game as a physical copy (in North America anyway) is a mystery. In fact, I’d like to see the entire trilogy compiled for a 3DS physical release or reworked for the Switch. Either way, Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers is a game I can put in a good word for.

Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers takes the best part of the series’ early games, adds some nice improvements, and provides a more refined overall package. Some of the drawbacks from those originals are still present too, however, with a repetitive nature putting a bit of a downer on proceedings, and the jump in cost from a £9/$10 game to a full retail release doesn’t feel fully justified. It’s a fun and solid experience, but you might want to give this purchase a little more thought unless you’re already entirely convinced.
