Dungeon Defenders

 

This wasn't my next game on the list, but it had me addicted for a solid three weeks or so. There's the routine tower-defense strategy in this game, but it adds a bunch of loot drops, substantially different classes, rpg elements and multiple ways to approach each level.

It's also multiplayer, so Naomi and I played a game for a few minutes. Unfortunately, I lost interest recently due to the rather small amount of levels and no total conversion mods available for it yet. EDF 2017 gave me a much better incentive to grind out through all the difficulty levels, since there were unique weapons you could only get from those levels, as opposed to randomly generated loot drops in this game.
