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

Prices Are Too High
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
Greed.
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.
Monetization unreasonable
Don’t buy unless you want to spend $60
Woooo hoooooo!!!!!
Amazing! Never stop making these!!!!!!
Cash Grab
Kingdom Rush was a great game before. Now it’s a cash grab. Half the campaign is locked by paywall. Didn’t I pay for this game already?
Pay to Win
I love this game don’t get me wrong. But as you progress and the difficulty gets higher you start to see how virtually all the new towers and heroes are loved behind paywalls. Where as before you could get like half the towers unlocked, not you get the defaults and just one alternate of each basic type.
I started noticing the problem when I realize I hav to use guides online to beat certain missions. I never had to do that before. The multiple ways of victory which allowed you before to play and rest different strategies are locked down to virtually just one on some of the later missions if you only have the default towers.
I want to love this game but in an effort to make more money they made the game feel sweaty. 3$ for a new tower is crazy. And towers cost separate from the additional expansions too…wish it wasn’t so.

Meh
I’ve loved all the Kingdom Rush games and played them all fully. I fully enjoy the mix of towers and swapping them out in this game. However….This “game” just feels like an ad. I’ve dropped a looooot of money on this, including what I thought would unlock all those pesky “available” maps, only to find it just unlocked towers I either already PAID for, or I’ll never use. No new levels. The map is FULL of unplayable levels because you have to buy them. It’s incredibly frustrating to buy a game, but almost $50 (probably more at this point honestly) and still have HALF the map unplayable. Severe disappointment to PAY for a game only to have it be an advertisement.

游戏内完成的巨龙战争在Game Center上不显示 希望完善一下
Overcharged hero bundle purchase?
I just bought the hero bundle, which was showing as $30 dollars, but my charge was $66.86? What’s up with that?
Too many in-app purchase
bad game

If you hate free to play apps that charge you for everything, you’ll be even more frustrated by this paid app that then proceeds to charge you more for heroes, towers, and content.
Less strategic overall
Feels an overall reskin of previous games than a completely new game. No attempt to create something completely different, more of a Vengeance Part 2.
Towers you can only level up, no strategic choices to upgrade to different powers. You can have the same set to complete all levels unlike previous games (I have all).
Levels end abruptly - anticlimactic. Waves of enemies become bland and uninteresting. At least have two different endless levels for longevity. Minuscule rewards for calling in waves early.
Overall KR5 Alliance: 8/10 animation, 1/10 gameplay. Disappointed.

Amazing
Amazing game. The art is very good, the overall gameplay is satisfying and also accomplishing. Sad that i can't access the other stages like the dragon dlc tho
Too much paywall!
Good game; as good as its predecessors. Unfortunately, the amount of paywall, and the prices, are excessive. It’d be 4 or 5 stars otherwise.
