Basic Plot
There isn't much of a plot. You are humans defending your kingdom against hordes of evil.
Gameplay
Kingdom Rush is a classic tower defence game. Some of the features include:
- Upgradeable towers with choices. For example, a barracks can be upgraded to have Holy Knights or Barbarian warriors. Each has its own strength and weakness.
- Many towers are ranged but there are also melee towers (the barracks) which "spawn" melee units. These melee units act on their own to defend, but can be moved using a rally point. This is a fairly uncommon mechanic but is a key component of Ninjatown.
- The player also has two "abilities" which can assist the towers to defend. One spawns a pair of temporary melee warriors, another reigns meteors down on enemies.
- After completing a level you obtain "stars" depending on how many enemies you let slip through. Each star can be spent on a skill tree which enhances your towers and your powers. For example; you can improve the range, damage, and reduce the cost of your archer towers.
Positives
Very well polished. Interesting and varied array of upgrades and towers. Challenging gameplay, and having a long term skill improvement system adds to the replayability of the game.
Negatives
Lack of pathing. Some of the levels were a bit hard in my opinion, in that you really had to try a lot of different combinations before you beat them.
