Kingdom Rush- Tower Defense TD

No ads, good gameplay. Can be really hard, but that's half the fun - still completely playable without spending money. Monetization is actually pretty unobtrusive and implemented intelligently. only gripe is I wish there was a game speed slider. Some levels drag on because you're just sitting waiting for the enemies to arrive.

Kingdom Rush is one of the most impressive games I have ever played. It combines the best aspects of various genres to create an amazing experience all around - the depth of character and fantastic story of traditional RPGs, the side-scrolling action of classic adventure games, and the tactical depth of long-lived RTS titles all wrapped up in a neatly packaged tower defense game that will keep you entertained for hours. The vast cast of characters you have at your disposal will keep you engaged throughout each different level. Different classes of heroes allow you to refine whatever style of gameplay you want, and the leveling system rewards you for investing time into these useful allies. Optional levels of difficulty provide a great sense of progression and replayability, and the entire game provides a rewarding experience for gamers of all kinds. In a world filled with pay-to-win games and ad-ridden time sinks, Kingdom Rush stands out as a stellar example of proper gaming enjoyment. Highly worth the initial investment of a few dollars, you have the choice to enjoy extra power-ups for the price of some of your time watching ads. Or you can invest in a powerful new hero to use on the battlefield - but no matter your choice, rest assured that Kingdom Rush will never force you to do so. The game is playable, and completion is perfectly achievable without spending an extra penny or watching a single ad.

A thoroughly enjoyable Tower defense game, they are pay to win mechanics but it is not required, and best of all no intrusive ads. You have to click a button to play an ad to get some in-game currency, but I've never been interrupted while playing the game with one, which is honestly the best way to have ads in a game I would say. Gameplay is fun and varied enough for the type of game it is.

The game is peer good, the towers and the enmities have a good design and concept. Also the gameplay is smooth, no bugs, but here are some bugs that need to be changed -There need to be more rounds for some levels/the escalation doesn’t fit the round (like the ex levels after you finish the campaign need to be a little, A LITTLE! easier or there needs to be more rounds) -All of the ex levels recommend 50 stars for them, even though the max amount of stars you can get in the campaign is 36 (note you can still play them) -Some upgrades don’t seem worth the amount of gold it’s worth(like the ranger and sorcerer upgrades) -There should be a way to unlock some hero’s, not all of them but at least 3 of the premium ones, maybe after every level you get something that you can place into one premium hero of your choosing and after like 30 of those you unlock the hero (normal levels are worth 1 of these while ex levels are worth 2) -The endless mode is to hard in the beginning, maybe tone it down for a little bit -Just a nitpick of mine, but can I request a sandbox mode where you can test out strategies and towers, you don’t lost health, you have infinite gold, and you can spawn in enemies of your choosing -The encyclopedia for the enemies don’t show there weaknesses or strengths This is all, thank you for reading and possible considering my points.

this game is really good. Just one gripe, whenever I play, the pause button is placed in such a way that even glancing it with a finger will trigger the menu. Combined with the fact that the two biggest buttons in the pause menu are "restart" and "quit," I get sent back to the battle menu much too often in the middle of a game. Please fix this, or at least add a "Do you really want to quit/restart?" before I get kicked out of a game I was doing really well on. Edit: Happened AGAIN!

Good game that is highly engaging and well designed, with enjoyable gameplay, slick graphics, and complete sound design. However, the problem is that there is just not enough of it. All of the campaigns can be beaten and all of the research tree unlocked in maybe 10 hours of gameplay. That for a game that is trying to sell additional unlockable features and characters is simply not enough content.

Loved the gameplay. The main game doesn't need crystals to beat, which is really great. When you start playing the side quest, then crystals come into play. However, you get crystals whether you win or lose a stage, or you can watch a 30 second ad. Or of course, pay for it. A few things I didn't like about the game was the constant tapping on my stations that were disabled by the enemy. Also it was, at times, difficult to deploy units to the bottom of the screen to stop enemies.

I remember this game from when I played it years ago, back in an age when Flash was supported. Upon finding out it had been moved to an app, I knew I had to download it and go through the nostalgia. The overall main game is enough to keep it interesting to the end, with maps having minor variances in mechanics along the way. The facts that the store is not required for the main game and that ads are 100% optional, they make this game, without a doubt, something to enjoy.

I’ve been playing Kingdom Rush for a long time, and always download it again with each new device. And it’s worked great all along... until now. The latest version on my 2018 iPad 9.7” acts like it’s only sized for iPhone, and the game play screen doesn’t fit the available screen space. What’s worse, the game play area is bigger than the window, so it’s impossible to see both where the troops enter and where they’re trying to go without scrolling around during the game. This is *not* ideal. If the game had always been this way, that’d be one thing, but it wasn’t. If it used to be possible to fit the game window to the screen size on iPad, why isn’t it now? Hopefully this can be changed in a future version.

Wish it were longer. Once you've beaten the campaign (not many levels), any level afterward is almost impossible, either the repeated levels in harder difficulty or the elite levels that require more stars. The repeated levels severely handicap you and can't really be done without extra gold and the elite levels pretty much require you to do the repeated levels to earn stars. In other words, after the campaign, the game isn't fun anymore.

Let me start out by saying I five starred this game for the iPad. It takes up a lot of memory because it doesn’t rely on WiFi or data, but it’s worth it! But on the iPhone, you can not see the whole map and that impacts your play. A zoom feature would help. Most importantly, when you add your support troops, if you touch the screen the least bit off you can restart the game!! This is a game that once you are in it and have your rhythm going you know what your next step is, so your fingers are already going. I’ve accidentally re-started my game so many times I’m ready to delete this.. . If they could fix that one thing I would five star this for iPhone also.

Once you complete the main part of the game, which is the first 12 levels, it gets impossible to do any more levels. The bonus levels say that “50 stars are recommended” because they are really challenging. But once you complete the first 12, you can only get a max of 36 stars, or 3 per level. So you can’t get enough stars to complete the other levels because it’s wayyyyy too hard. I don’t understand why they would set it up this way. I really enjoyed the game before that, but now I can’t beat any more levels and it’s so frustrating.
