    This is a must have for all tower defense game lovers. Very good port from flash. I played the original web browser based game and must say this is even better. 61 achievement to unlock, hours of game play, to keep things short. Buy this game and enjoy hours of fun if you didn't played yet. I can't hide my excitement, to keep things short i must say it again, this is a must have.

    I am a tower defense loving person.
    I must say , I'm picky as-well .
    this game is SO good. reviews cannot get the extent of how good this game is. the level difficulty is just right, even with heroes and enchancements from stars, I havent played the flash version, all I know this is a 1080p version, with FREE content coming (seriously wouldnt mind paying for DLC!) great graphics,    I am a tower defense loving person.

    Should you play on steam, you would get achievements and trading cards.
    I really hope the developers keep on supporting this game since it is an awesome game,
    very much like Ninja Town in NDS. VERY good.    … Expand

    I'm not a big fan of TD games as most of the time those require you to simply place your towers and then wait for 20-30 minutes to see what happens. Kingdom Rush evolves the idea by allowing you to move around your guards, reinforcements, heroes and rain down meteor showers, which in combo with basic TD mechanics makes for a pretty unique title with very addicting gameplay.

    A great little tower defense with (so far) free updates and no stupid DLC or microtransactions! One of the best tower defense games I have played, and I've played most that are available. Better than Dungeon Defenders, Defender's Quest, Sol Survivor, Gratuitous Tank/Space Battles, iBomber, Revenge of the Titans, Plants vs Zombies, and even Defense Grid. Shows a level of polish and charmA great little tower defense with (so far) free updates and no stupid DLC or microtransactions! One of the best tower defense games I have played, and I've played most that are available. Better than Dungeon Defenders, Defender's Quest, Sol Survivor, Gratuitous Tank/Space Battles, iBomber, Revenge of the Titans, Plants vs Zombies, and even Defense Grid. Shows a level of polish and charm not seen since Orcs Must Die 2, with plenty of challenge and variation. HIGHLY recommended for any fan of tower defense games.

    I just wish they'd release the rest of the Kingdom Rush mobile games on PC already... been waiting FAR too long.    … Expand

    God damn this TD completely blew my mind, I bought it as I saw it featured on a humble sale and I thought "Hey, I haven't played TD in ages, this one looks fun.". Turns out I haven't played such luxurious one since Gem TD as well. Art is cartoony and very cute. Also, unexpectedly rich for an indie game. Large amount of monsters, locations, heroes, towers, tower upgrades. You always haveGod damn this TD completely blew my mind, I bought it as I saw it featured on a humble sale and I thought "Hey, I haven't played TD in ages, this one looks fun.". Turns out I haven't played such luxurious one since Gem TD as well. Art is cartoony and very cute. Also, unexpectedly rich for an indie game. Large amount of monsters, locations, heroes, towers, tower upgrades. You always have something new to notice and look at. From the big picture view, design is standard with expected TD patters, nothing new. However, developers gave huge focus to design details that make you fall in love with the game. You will start to notice them right away and uncover much more through the campaign. This is what makes the game so amazing. Funny voice responses of heroes full of various references to games, movies, etc. Map easter eggs to discover and interact with (sheeps, windmills, ...). Gameplay is very smooth and well designed. You can play it casually, enjoying your time, or like a pro, thinking of crisp timings and deep strategies. Simply put, playing this game will give you a great satisfaction from many different views whoever you are. I just can't recommend this gem from Ironhide Game Studio enough.

    About drawbacks, there are few I would like to mention: First, the waypoints and reactions of melee tower soldiers... I am quite experienced in Blizzard strategy games and these melee units are completely unituitive for someone like me. At the same time I believe they made it intentionally this awkward to keep balance and give space to more try-hard players. Second, I feel like every level requires a certain strategy which you have to uncover and successfully use, experimenting different builds usually ends up in a failure. Last, there is no level editor. I understand this game came from its web/mobile predecessor, but giving space to talented and passionate players might yield so many interesting levels and patterns I would love to see and understand.    … Expand

    This game is definitely my favourite from all the tower defenses out there. It has beautiful cartoon environment changing as the game proceed, great towers and enemies art and the soundtrack fits the atmosphere. You can finish every level at max of 3 stars with 2 additional mode scenarios with some extra challenge (can't use mage towers, upgrade max to lvl.2 etc.).

    At it's core, all this game is is a good tower defense game. There are many other games like it, but this is definitely one of the better iterations of tower defense games.

    Потрясающая игра в своем жанре. Отличная рисовка, классно проработанные уровни, дополнительные фишки, куча отсылок. Must have для всех любителей обороны в стиле tower defense.

    I actually played the Android version and after doing everything it was 85% high level fun and 15% chore-like grind which is a great ratio. Love this series.

    This is a super fun little tower defense game that is great for passing the time if you have a bit of time to spare here and there.

    Kingdom Rush has arrived on PCs as a port from mobiles, therefore it is not surprising the game is a small one. The main campaign consists of twelve levels which are replenished with another seven bonus ones after your successful completion. Therefore, with a bit of prejudice, you may finish Kingdom Rush in two evenings. However, if you take a keen interest in tower defense strategy genre, it is virtually certain that you are going to find Kingdom Rush a little pearl to which you will gladly return.

    A fun, addictive TD strategy game. The story campaign could have been a tad more challenging, but, thankfully, there is a plethora of additional gameplay modes.
