Kingdom Rush Review - One Tower Defence Game to Rule Them All!

Admittedly I’m a little pissed that IGN beat me to this review. I actually discovered the game over a month ago but couldn’t find the time to write this review. What is kingdom rush? It’s a tower defense game developed by Iron Hide Game Studio. What is a tower defence game? Oh boy, well you see, its strategy game in which you build artillery around or along the route to a specific “goal” or “base” and fend off waves off enemies trying to stops as many as possible form infiltrating this for mentioned “base” or “goal”. Trust me it’s awesome.  

In my opinion Kingdom Rush is the Tower Defence game to rule all tower defence games. As I’m a long time fan of the genre and one of my all time favourites being Defence Grid on Xbox Live. 

 

It’s a very polished flash game with hours of game play but sadly is available only on the Apple Store at the moment, on android *sad face*.

 

It also has a RPG side, with each completed level you earn a certain number of stars depending on how well you did. These stars allow you to upgrade and increase the effectiveness of you towers. These upgrades will come in handy when you get to the more difficult levels.

What about game play? Well, you earn gold by defeating your invading enemies, this gold is used to build and upgrade your towers and strengthen your defences. But if those damn orcs are still giving you a hard time, raise your hands to the heavens and call on a meteor strike!

As any other tower defence game foes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some are slow, while others fast and certain towers are more effective against certain enemies while others not so much. The maps are pretty interesting too.

 

The only down side about this game is the amount of squinting involved especially on the flash version when playing, which could make excessive play bad for your eyes. 

Overall I would highly recommend this game to anybody who is a fan or the genre or is looking to kill some time with something a little more mentally tasking than flinging birds at pigs.
