### 1/5 — Mistake

*2026-08-05, version 6.4.22*

I see I just made a mistake and bought this. I had such a good time on Apple Arcade I thought I’d buy an older one to learn more about the lore. You dare ask for 7 dollars for heroes are you kidding me?
My Apple Arcade subscription is what 15-20 bucks and a have three of your games completely unlocked. It seems all the merchants have lost their minds with this cash grabbing like it’s disappearing. Surprise ending let go of your greed OR IT WILL CONSUME YOU AND ALL YOU HOLD DEAR! This is a truth you can not horde or hide from. He that can hear let him hear.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-07-15, version 6.4.22*

Very fun game for real

### 5/5 — I love

*2026-06-21, version 6.4.22*

I love

### 1/5 — Unbalanced, Doesn’t respect your time

*2026-06-17, version 6.4.22*

The game isn’t so bad as to only warrant one star, but it also doesn’t deserve the 4.9 rating it has in the app store, and needs to be offset.  

The biggest issue is the terrible balancing.  The game devs obviously wanted to make it harder than previous titles, but they use a variety of cheap and unfair tactics to accomplish that, and obviously wanted to incentivise people to pay for the myriad of pay-to-win feature built in, which is just disrespectful and dishonest.  You could possibly win each location without paying, but the amount of time you’d have to spend grinding to make sure you have just the right hero levelled up enough to have the powers needed, as well as purchasing all the bonuses you need from the in-game store, is just not respectful of our time as players.  

This is a phone app game. I’m not trying to spend my entire life playing it, or even hours at a time.  Stop trying to be a console or PC game, unless you’re going to actually BE that.

### 2/5 — Nerfed blackwater endless

*2026-05-29, version 6.4.22*

The blackwater endless map has been nerfed. Why nerf something this old. The map used to be fun and still challenging enough and good way to earn store credits to keep me interested. Now the difficulty is ridiculous after just 10 waves.

### 5/5 — Origins vẫn tuyệt

*2026-02-16, version 6.4.22*

Tôi thích dòng game này nhất trong các game TD. 2 game đầu vốn đã hay, phần này lại thêm âm thanh cuốn, hình ảnh đẹp. Luôn ủng hộ vì game chơi đã và không quảng cáo rác.

### 5/5 — Game

*2026-02-11, version 6.4.22*

Every single time I close the game it fully resets the level I’m on so if you have a life and actually do stuff with your time then get ready to be penetrated in your azz because they can’t figure out how to save your progress. Whole bunch of brain dead monkey developers

### 5/5 — Самая лучшая часть.

*2026-02-07*

Эту часть я прошел от и до, без использования каких-либо гайдов и подсказок. Как на нормальном уровне сложности, так и на ветеране. Хороший баланс сложности, не легко и не слишком сложно как в первой части.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-02-03, version 6.4.20*

Easy to play and still fun great game

### 5/5 — Amazing game! One complaint

*2026-01-12, version 6.4.20*

This game is phenomenal. I have played for a long time and I have always appreciated the detail and effort. The only complaint I have is that the kingdom rush series no longer has endless levels. The campaigns are great, but after they're completed, you don't typically go and play the same levels over and over again and that's what the endless runs are for continuously trying to get on the leaderboard as a part of the fun that the kingdom Rush series offers, but they haven't been making the same levels. We need to bring back endless mode.
