"Kingdom Rush"

2013 · Tower Defense

Kingdom Rush Frontiers is tower defense at its most polished and confident. Ironhide Game Studio took everything that worked about the original and expanded it with more creative towers, better hero variety, and exotic settings that demand fresh strategies at every turn. The tower specialization system gives each level genuine replay value, and the production quality remains a cut above the competition years after release. If you've never played a Kingdom Rush game, this is the place to start. If you've already played the original, this is the sequel that delivers on every front.

2018 · Tower Defense

Kingdom Rush Vengeance delivers the series' signature polish with a villainous twist that keeps the formula feeling playful. The tower selection mechanic adds a welcome layer of pre-battle strategy, and the art direction and humor remain some of the best in mobile tower defense. Paywalled heroes and the shift toward premium purchasable content mark a change from earlier entries that some fans won't appreciate. The core gameplay is as strong as ever, though, and playing the bad guy turns out to be more fun than it should be. If you've enjoyed any Kingdom Rush game before, this is worth your time.
