In my opinion, this is the “perfect little game.” The art style is cute, the music is enjoyable, and the story is simple but does its job. But in my opinion the memorable tower quotes are what make this game truly iconic! For the king! Might and magic! In terms of gameplay, there's enough variety across towers, level design and heroes. It’s an easy game to get into, but some levels can be surprisingly difficult. Finishing every level and earning all the achievements feels genuinely satisfying. Solid 8.5/10.

Original of the series, the only backdraw is horrible balancing of difficulty. Playing in "casual" is anything but. Still, a nice game enough to enjoy.

I write this review after 100%ing this game. Not only a nostalgia trip, but an actual good game. Simple idea that gave birth to one of my favourite series ever. Probably the second easiest Kingdom Rush game and the one that took me the least time to 100%. Levels are mostly pretty good and require some creativity and strategizing to beat them. Towers may be a bit imbalanced and specifically one seems way too powerful in comparison to the rest. Achievements are very tame and reasonable. Most of them easy to get. Final rating: 8/10

100% Achievement Review: Based on my experience completing all the (available) achievements. Feel free to follow my [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45897386/]Steam Curator & [url=https://www.youtube.com/@Awijii]Youtube Channel for more 100% reviews, videos & achievement content! Title: Kingdom Rush Summary: Classic tower defense game Personal notes: Kingdom rush is a classic tower defense game that I loved growing up. Set in a cartoonish fantasy world, you must defend your kingdom from the countless waves of enemies by strategically placing towers along their paths in addition to having many powerful abilities. As I stated above, I loved this game and was honestly surprised with how well I feel this game has stood the test of time. The gameplay loop is super simple but very satisfying. Learning what towers/abilities to use where & when is a very rewarding albeight frustrating experience. You are also allowed to choose between three difficulties which is nice depending on how strategical you want to get. Visually this game has a cute cartoon style that isn't crazy in depth but has personality and a charm to it. The sound design is also pretty good, keeping things lighthearted and fun. I would also like to point out that on the PC (paid) version you get access to all the heroes, in comparision to when I played on mobile (free) version with limited access to heroes. All these heroes came with unique designs,sounds and abilities were really fun to explore and use. I would say the only drawback to this game which I feel many tower defense games struggle with is longterm retention. Despite having a lot of different strategical options, you are limited by how many levels the game itself has. Achievement-wise, a lot are story related or tower specific. The most difficult ones are the achievements surrounding completing all the levels on various difficulties. All things considered, I had a blast with this game back in my childhood and I had a blast playing it recently. Not to mention this game was the start of a magnificient series. I would easily recommend this game to any tower defense or strategy fan alike. Easily one of the best tower defense games out there! Time it took to complete: 28hrs Most difficult achievement(s): - Iron Defender (Complete all iron stages.) - Heroic Defender (Complete all heroic stages.) - Supreme Defender (Complete the campaign in veteran mode.) Difficulty rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10 Overall rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
