Good game, addictive. Some levels are quicker, some are tough and long. But what I hate very much is the fact that the game saves the progress in the slots to the steamapps folder directly to the folder of the game. I have not thought about backing-up this folder when reinstalling computer, so I have to play it again. I have backed-up only Users folder (including Documents etc.). Don't expect super precision in this game, it is still a bit about fun, but there is a lot of strategy to play with.

The Golden Standard of 2D tower defense games since 2011, still rarely matched in its level of quality and polish.

The only problem with this game is that there's no Endless which pretty much removes the replay value when you've finished everything on Veteran Difficulty.

Simple tower defense game a small mix between mushroom wars and pixeljunk Monsters.
IF you remember pixeljunk monsters :D? the game is pretty much the same just a little more woulda say standart graphics.

Pros:
Cute style
Great gameplay just like most retro style tower defense.

Cons:
It's a pretty easy game just a few hours and it's been beaten with all stars.

extra pro:
Just downloaded the addon so lets see if they raised the difficulty a little ^^

You'd think fixing tower positions would take something away and yet Kingdom Rush proves challenging and enjoyable.

I usually don't care much about tower defence games but this one is perfect. smooth learning curve and then all hell breaks loose. Definitely the best of the genre i've played so far, smooth as butter, nice upgrade options and several good strategies for beating a level. 10/10. On top of that it's cheaper than a sandwich when in a bundle. Probably best spent money to hour ratio for my whole steam library.

Just a quick review, having completed the game long ago (before DLC update)

This game is a must have for any fan of the tower defense genre. The variety in towers and their uses works well with predefined tower placement areas and no damage numbers.

Back when I played this game, I suddenly lost my save file even though I didn't uninstall the game (apparently there is a steam cloud save option now) and had a few bugs that made it impossible to finish some levels (I remember a yeti getting stuck, see SS) unless I restarted them and tried something different.

Very fun game, but a little pricey for a tower defense game. Also, sometimes the game's textures glitch out, and it gets quite annoying. Other than those main points, the game is enjoyable! It takes many hours to fully complete, which makes the game a challenge.

Very good TD... a lot of reference to pop cultures, eg. Game of Thrones, pop songs, etc :D

Good for both casual and tryhard gamers. I'm fleeting.


The sequel Frontiers is coming in 6 days! Holy sweat!!!

This tower defense game is my life (just kidding). This game is gorgeous and better on the pc than mobile :P. There is no cons to the game honsetly. Now that Ironhide Games is making their second game on steam, Kingdom Rush Frontiers, this game is still fun. There is only 4 basic and classis towers, such as archers, barracks, mages, and bombards. They four have pros and cons, archers deal physical armour and they shoot fast but do very minimal damage. The barracks sets out 3 troops, I usually use them just to stall enemies, but you guys might use them in a different way. The mages have a very low firing rate, but they do critical amounts of damage that can tear enemies that have high physical armour. And then the bombards fire out bombs that explode and can do area damage, which can take out small low health enemies. The towers have 3 basic upgrades, then you can buy their 2 different special upgrade, for example the 2 archer's special upgrade is the rangers and then the musketeers.

Then there are 12 choosable heroes that have 2 special abiliites. Each 12 heroes have the pros and cons as well.

The Steam version of Kingdom Rush has no in-app-purchases, better graphics and resolution, cloud saves as well. This is review is for those people who haven't even heard of Kingdom Rush.

Thank you Ironhide Games for making Kingdom Rush both on mobile and on Steam. :)

If you dont know this game and you like TD genre, then you were living under a rock.
This game is a classic. I highly recommended DURING A SALE though.
I mean its a classic ok, but damn, 10euros? I used to play this for free back on the flash games days.
Add it to wishlist and wait. Then just enjoy.

There are certain games that I have played. Games that make me think about them when I go to bed and looking forward to the next day where I'll be able to play them again. This is most definitely one of those games.

If you like tower defense games, this is a must buy.
