Royal Defense is an enjoyable tower defence game that somewhat tries to be a Kingdom Rush clone. Although it's not as good as Kingdom Rush it's not a bad game.

Royal Defense is an enjoyable tower defence game that somewhat tries to be a Kingdom Rush clone. Although it's not as good as Kingdom Rush it's not a bad game. Pros: - nice graphics - decent music - DLC has as many levels as the main game - each tower can be upgraded three times - towers can be upgraded into special towers - base settings of towers can be permanently upgraded by collecting gems - higher difficulty makes the game more challenging - some locations offer a further view - some locations increase your attack power - some locations need to be purchased with gems, which makes the game harder - invisible enemies force you to build radar towers - magic attacks that reload in time or can be purchased for gems - option to pause - add or upgrade towers in pause mode - call magical attack in pause mode - two times speed - some enemies are immune to certain type of attacks, which enriches the strategy level - walking and flying enemies - enemy magicians can temporarily deactivate your towers - some enemies produce new enemies - option to manually direct fire on a specific enemy Neutral: - fixed tower locations - only four type of towers (arrow, cannon, mortar, money tower) Cons: - DLC is better than the main game - repetitive gameplay, most of the time you can stick with the same tactics - gems appear randomly - no option to reset tower abilities you already purchased - no in-game opponents wiki - no in-game tower wiki

I'm going to recommend this game, allthough there are plenty of things I'd like to point out first. As in the description of the game, Follow the exciting story of the dwarven kingdom's eternal struggle against the troll hordes, who want only to crush the dwarves and claim their territory. ^ After having played this game for seven hours, I have never been introduced to any shape or form of story. Unique units, a wide range of structures, spells, gold and various resources make this game that you will return to again and again. ^ Nope, nothing unique. It's your typical TowerDefence game with the typical towers. Nothing new implemented. Tap anywhere you like for a handy pop-up menu listing all the units and structures you can build in that location. Tap existing structures to see how you can upgrade your forces with ever-more powerful improvements! ^ This hints towards that the game description is the same as for the mobile version. Each level also brings new units and structures to help you fight the troll menace. You’ll never be lacking for new and exciting ways of decimating those nasty trolls! ^ Sure, it does vary this, but not nearly every level as this description claims. - 60 different progressively challenging levels ^ True - 3 unique game settings ^ If they mean the difficulty settings? Then sure, but I'd hardly call having Easy - Medium and Hard options unique. EDIT: ^ There are three different biomes. Forrest, snow and desert. - 17 kinds of creatures ^ As with every other game, lots of reskins. - 12 kinds of towers and structures ^ True. Also very basic for most TowerDefence games. - Extensive magic system ^ Can't think of a more basic system ever implemented. Nothing extensive about this. - Various upgrades ^ Pretty fun to upgrade towers and such. Pretty typical to TowerDefence games. - Fascinating gameplay ^ Facinating gameplay, what does that even mean? The game lacks keyboard support, which is a huge nuisance to me as a PC gamer. Obviously this is due to the game being ported over from the mobile version. Lacks a options menu. Two volume sliders isn't an options menu, however the ability to toggle between fullscreen and windowed is a good addition. The game only has three soundtracks that loops. Hope you have a playlist on Youtube or Spotify ready. So with all of this, why am I recommending this somewhat discount Kingdom Rush clone? Well, as far as a Tower Defence game goes, it handles more or less as you'd expect and it's not bad at what it does. It doesn't do anything unique or great, but it's still solid for killing a few hours of boredom.

It's a good tower defense game. For every kind of player casual to hardcore . For 6,49 CDN$ this game completely worth it. I played already 5 hours to complete the game on easy and i have only the act 1 and 2 completed. If u want a really good challenge you can play hard mode and heroic mode and your game will be longer than 10 hours i would say at least. Some fight are really hard and others are really easy. It will not be easy for most players to reach 100% of the achievements because u need to put some time into the game for it. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 Sorry if my english was bad and i hope you will enjoy this game Melovia
