### 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.

### 4/5 — My rating

*2025-10-05, version 6.1.25*

This is a fun and challenging game and I enjoy it but I think they could add more like troops and stuff.

### 4/5 — I love it but..

*2025-08-28, version 6.1.25*

I love Kingdom Rush series and I played it in my childhood. But  the game prices is too more for us. Because I’m living in Turkey and we have a big inflation in here. I could buy Frontiers and Origins for now. Please reduce the prices for Turkey

### 5/5 — Read

*2025-07-26, version 6.1.25*

I never write reviews for games on the App Store. But I grew up playing this series and it is by far my favorite mobile game of all time. Not specifically origins but the entire series. Please give it a chance if you have time. Much love to the developers

### 5/5 — Гуд ТД

*2025-07-25*

Отличная игра, как и остальные другие игры этой компании. Прикольная мультяшная графика, много отсылок, прокачка - что еще нужно?

### 5/5 — Best one

*2025-07-24, version 6.1.25*

Personally this one is my number 1 from the series, too bad alliance isn’t that good

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2025-07-07, version 6.1.25*

This is my all time favorite Mobil game (kingdom rush in general). I love the strategy of the game and the heroes. The tower variants make the game super interesting. The fact that it goes deep into the fantasy world is awesome.

### 3/5 — Ads in game freeze and are unresponsive

*2025-07-04, version 6.1.25*

Good game but any ads just freeze and force you to quit the game and restart.

### 5/5 — Best in the series.

*2025-07-03, version 6.1.25*

All heroes are good. The worst hero isn’t even bad and can be used extremely well if played right. All towers are visually uniqe unlike any other towers in the entire franchise. The art is simple and down right beautiful. Whether you’re a beginner or master to strategy games, this game has a challenge for you. Beautiful game. Beautiful series. I’d pay 3x its original price for it.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Game

*2025-06-27, version 6.1.25*

Fun, addictive and great gameplay and music while also being cute and ostrategic but not too childish 👌

### 5/5 — Yıldızlı 5

*2025-05-21, version 6.1.25*

Mükemmelll hepsini sırayla oynayın bütün oyunları

### 5/5 — fix

*2025-05-03, version 6.1.25*

we need a patch to fix the dragons attack range because the current target attack adjustment is very bad

### 5/5 — Worth Reviewing SO GOOD!!!

*2025-04-14, version 6.1.25*

Played this years ago & rediscovered again recently. Hands down best tower defense game!

### 4/5 — Неплохо

*2025-04-03*

Механика игры отличная, но графика мелковата, что делает процесс менее приятным

### 5/5 — Banger 3ish

*2025-04-03, version 6.1.25*

Visuals are a definite improvement, some of the towers and strategies are a bit old but still fun

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Free to Pay Game

*2026-01-10*

Lohnt sich nicht

### 1/5 — My hero hide ??

*2025-10-20, version 6.4.18*

จ่ายตังแล้ว ฮีโร่หาย แก้ไจด้วยนะ

### 1/5 — Next

*2025-08-06*

Bien moins bon que les prédécesseurs, ce jeu a les mêmes souci mais en pire.
Toujours aussi peu d’or, on ne peut pas meubler tous les slots de construction. Le jeu use et abuse des ennemis inarrétables, des ouvertures imprévisibles de nouveau chemins, et d’une nouveauté « ennemis qui se transforment en boule de lumière et popent près de la sortie », horripilant. Tout est fait pour devoir utiliser (et donc acheter) des items consommables. Pay2wîn = next, désinstallé assez vite

### 1/5 — Cash grab

*2025-03-09, version 6.1.25*

You made the game extremely difficult even at the easiest level in order to constrain the player to buy the heroes. Guess what, I will uninstall it and forget that I have ever played it. 
PS: I have 5 games from IrnHide and I will uninstall them all. I would suggest everyone to do the same.👎

### 1/5 — Please learn what CASUAL means.

*2025-02-22, version 6.1.25*

It doesnt mean to pull your hair out in frustration, fail over and over, and quit because its impossible. A waste of money.

### 1/5 — Lost my purchases

*2025-02-17, version 6.1.25*

Recently returned to the game and I no longer have any of the heroes I bought

### 1/5 — Pay2win garbage. Items you paid for disappear.

*2025-02-17, version 6.1.25*

I was a big fan of the original kingdom rush. Unfortunately the company got very greedy. Not only do you have to pay for the game, but you also have to pay to win after certain levels. Absolutely unreasonable prices as well. Essentially it cost like $10 to beat one level and if you still lose you have to pay again, the items disappear forever if you restart the level. I tried playing without paying and it’s not possible. The game even pops up a message telling you you need to buy items to defeat the enemy.

### 1/5 — 😩😩😩

*2024-12-24, version 6.1.25*

ซื้ิอตัวฮีโร แต่ตัวฮีโรหาย ครับ แก้ไขด้วยครับ ไม่เห็นตอบเลย ผมก็ซื้อฮีโร่เกือบทุกตัวเลยครับ หายหมดเลย

### 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

### 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.

### 5/5 — Upgrade level

*2025-12-28, version 6.4.20*

TD elves version.. nice game..

### 5/5 — excellent

*2025-11-21, version 6.4.18*

### 5/5 — ประสบการการเล่น
