Paradox Interactive' entry into the tower defense genre is close to starting its beta test. The publisher announced today that folks can sign up to beta test Defenders of Ardania at Paradox's web site.

People must sign up by next Monday, April 11, to be considered for the beta test. The lucky folks who get selected will be informed by April 15. The game itself, a spin-off of Paradox' Majesty series of fantasy town sim-RPG games, will have three playable races and a number of different units plus 24 upgradable towers. The game from developer Most Wanted Entertainment is due for release in the third quarter of 2011.

The tower defense genre just keeps on growing, and Defenders of Ardania is the latest game in said genre. While the core game is much like a normal tower defense, there's one caveat: you can buy units to send to the enemy side. This isn't particularly new to anybody who played Warcraft 3 custom maps, but it is the first time that we can recall where it was implemented into a retail game. The first trailer, above, is a cinematic that shows off a brief bit of gameplay, while the trailer below is a developer interview. All we have to say about them is that they are about a tower defense game. There's not really much else!
