This means that trees and destroyed units can block the trajectory of your tower's bullets, and sometimes units go flying off the screen when they are destroyed. One mechanic of the game that is somewhat interesting is that each unit, tower, and bullet fired is modelled in the physics engine. There are no end of level stats or bonuses for leftover money, and while upgraded towers do more damage I couldn't see numbers anywhere. Towers and upgrades are instant and there aren't any extra buttons to press. Towers are placed in a few fixed positions and have 3 levels of upgrades. This game is a bit lacking in that department. The tower defense genre has dozens of titles that have innovative twists and interesting mechanics. On the flip side, the gameplay mechanics are not very sophisticated. You can move the camera just about anywhere and there's also an option to see the game from a tower's perspective (watching it fire at enemy units).
The graphical style is pretty inspired - everything looks like it's made out of cardboard and paper and the levels look like a child's playset. War in a Box is a basic tower defense game. Otherwise, just stick to Bloons TD 6 or even PvZ (which is another fairly old game but has TONS of content).
If you don't mind the dated nature of this game, go ahead and give it a try. It is by no means a bad game, and in my opinion is reasonably priced considering the content is has to offer, but in this current era of games, it's hard to really recommend this to people unless they're just looking for something to pass the time. Overall, I think this game sits on a 6/10. That isn't to say this game is bad, but it does mean that it is more or less dated in features. In a day and age where tower defense games have pretty much evolved to include a massive variety of towers and foes, along with higher degrees of replayability as well as a multitude of viable strategies, one may wind up moving on from this game in favor of those very kinds of TD games. That being said though, there really isn't a whole lot to this game if you beat it in its entirety while the physics/cover gimmick does make things a bit more challenging if enemy husks get flung in a certain way that they block the next shot fired, it's really about the only "unique" thing about this game.
Another feature this game has that is quite interesting is how physics/cover can affect how effective your turrets can be against the enemy, so some careful planning is needed to achieve victory. It consists of 24 levels that increase in difficulty and/or complexity as you progress further into the game, as well as an "expert" mode where you have less resources to work with than if you were playing normal mode. For what is essentially a 10-year-old game originally (presumably) intended for the mobile platforms, it is fairly decent. If I am to be honest in my opinion, I would say that this is one of those games where a "maybe" option would be nice when it comes to recommendations.
