  • Kingdom Rush Alliance

    I love this new version of Kingdom Rush. It is well balanced and fun. The new hero’s, enemies, and towers are lovely. The only feedback I have is that there is no encyclopedia and the lore is kinda missing. But overall, great installment.
    Also, the in-app purchases are kinda expensive.
  • Good but hate micro transactions

    I love these games from ironhide but paying $7 for a game where you have to pay more to unlock all the content just doesn’t set right with me. You need to do better ironhide. All the content should be available if you make people pay for a game.
  • Shop Glitch

    Game is awesome so far, and having two heroes allows for some nice combinations along with actual good base towers. I’m having a bug where each hero costs $9.99 and there’s no option for bundles to be bought even though they’re present in the in-app purchases tab of the app description.
  • Best of the best

    I have been playing this series for years, the replay value is exquisite with these games, and this newest addition in the series is by far the best. didn’t think it could get much better, but I was proven wrong. Well done!
  • Not as good as the first 3 but still good

    I have played all of the kingdom rush games for ever (except legends) so the games are not new to me and if I’m honest this one doesn’t compare to the old ones and so what’s different that makes it this way.

    1. The design: This may be an unpopular opinion but I like the design of the old games better, it was simple and refreshing since most games now go really bizarre with details and unfortunately (though not as severe) this games falls into that category.

    2. The tower system: Since kingdom rush 4 Vengeance came out iron hide has added a new tower system where you select up to 5 towers that you want to bring to battle and personally I don’t like this mechanic yes it allows for a more customizable load out but this also eliminates your ability to kinda go crazy with the towers and you can’t just use all the towers for their ability’s anymore they have to be good at what they do and you don’t get to use not as good ones even if you like them better.

    So overall I like the game so far but if I were to have to pick the old ones over the new ones I would.
  • Another rendition

    And once again, seemingly most of the game is locked behind pay walls. Even though you’re paying just to try it out. You would think the dev would’ve gotten his stuff together and stop gating their own games. But once again, this is another kingdom rush that will be dropped in a week cause you’re forced to look at locked towers and heroes everywhere. It’s a shame the first two games are the only good ones that don’t make you feel like an idiot for getting it.
  • In game purchases

    I buy the game for $7 only to find I can only access 4 heroes without paying for others (8 others behind paywall 😡). This is worsened by the fact that you can now have two heroes at once. It’s a little better with the towers with only 5 being behind a paywall. I really wish they did more levels where you have a few elite soldiers/ heroes already on the map before you start. Those are my favorite
  • Great Game

    I have all the Kingdom Rush games and pre-ordered this one months ago. It’s fun but much harder/challenging than previous versions..or maybe I’m just getting used to the towers still. My only complaint is that the game does not fit on my iPad! On the second level, there are two portals to defend. I have to constantly move the screen back and forth so I can see what is going on! Developers: can this be fixed? Thanks AND, thanks for all the hours of fun I’ve had with these games!
  • Awesome

    Was not disappointed
  • Big and greedy

    You get a whopping 4 heroes before having to pay for them and no special prize for preordering 🫦
