### 2/5 — Micro transactions

*2026-08-16, version 7.00.62*

The only reason this game isn’t reaching it’s potential is greedy devs

### 1/5 — Artificial difficulty

*2026-08-10, version 7.00.62*

As a disclaimer: I beat the game and all DLCs on impossible. I write this review not due to a “skill issue”; I enjoy difficult games, and am a fan of the KR series for this reason. Overall this game is terribly balanced. The beginning levels, even on the hardest mode, are incredibly easy. Then there is a sudden switch in difficulty. Moreover this difficulty is completely fabricated: the enemies just become befeer and they start to disable your towers or troops. Furthermore many waves of flying or Aoe enemies come, and all of the free towers don’t do nearly enough damage to take them down. The result? You have to micro the heroes and barracks placements aggressively. I know this is part of the KR experiments in the previous installments, but there it was possible to beat the games without microing placements and “cheesing” enemies. Here, with default towers and heroes, not so much. The enemies don’t encourage much strategy of tower placements, the towers themselves are all too weak, the game is very poorly balanced and not fun to play. This is probably the second worst installment in the series, winning only over vengeance which had god awfully easy game. 

Other comments: 
1. the art is much worse than the original games. Everything looks childish. 
2. The vengeance style towers idea is terrible. It destroys late game strategy and the kingdom rush flair. Also, having “pay to win” towers feels very sleezy. 
Kingdom rush should instead:
A) return to four towers with two tower upgrades at the end. For more variety, add level towers like the dwarf towers in KR frontiers.
B) keep it at one hero per level (less micro) but add more heroes, and add spinning for heroes like a gambling system. Users can earn gems to spin for heroes or purchase them. Also heroes should level up in level so there is still late game strategy to hero placements.

If ironhide wants more monetization, they can make it so you spin for a hero, and next time you spin it overrides the old hero. You can maybe have 2 slots for spinning, with more available for purchase. Then users will be rncourgrd to use gems more, but heroes won’t feel pay to win, since you can unlock them for free (but with stronger heroes being more rare). That is all my comments. 

To players: If you are looking for a good KR experience, don’t play this game. Play mods of OG KR like furious assault.

### 5/5 — Can’t wait for the next game

*2026-08-06, version 7.00.62*

Been playing kingdom rush since I was a kid on school computers, absolutely love this game and ironhide

### 5/5 — Another KR <3

*2026-08-03, version 7.00.62*

Title

### 4/5 — Prices Are Too High

*2026-07-10, version 7.00.62*

Its a good game like always but for a mobile game its starting to feel like these games are getting greedy now with all the towers and heros plus dlc being at least 50$ this isn’t Microsoft

### 1/5 — Greed.

*2026-06-27, version 7.00.62*

I grew up playing these games and now they’ve just become a typical money grab game, where everything costs extra. It’s an embarrassment to the gaming industry and it’s the downfall of pure gaming. I will never buy another game from you or add ons.

### 1/5 — Monetization unreasonable

*2026-06-23, version 7.00.62*

Don’t buy unless you want to spend $60

### 5/5 — Woooo hoooooo!!!!!

*2026-06-21, version 7.00.62*

Amazing! Never stop making these!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Cash Grab

*2026-06-19, version 7.00.62*

Kingdom Rush was a great game before. Now it’s a cash grab. Half the campaign is locked by paywall. Didn’t I pay for this game already?

### 3/5 — Pay to Win

*2026-06-19, version 7.00.62*

I love this game don’t get me wrong. But as you progress and the difficulty gets higher you start to see how virtually all the new towers and heroes are loved behind paywalls. Where as before you could get like half the towers unlocked, not you get the defaults and just one alternate of each basic type. 

I started noticing the problem when I realize I hav to use guides online to beat certain missions. I never had to do that before. The multiple ways of victory which allowed you before to play and rest different strategies are locked down to virtually just one on some of the later missions if you only have the default towers. 

I want to love this game but in an effort to make more money they made the game feel sweaty. 3$ for a new tower is crazy. And towers cost separate from the additional expansions too…wish it wasn’t so.
