Fun, until a wall, then it’s just not fun anymore. Just my opinion. ### 2/5 — Pretty fun till the app wants to pay to win *2026-06-01, version 6.4.22* Seriously you hit a wall not far into the game and its insane. Not worth your time. ### 4/5 — Great, but requires a lot of grinding *2026-02-11, version 6.4.22* Title says all but this, the heroes locked behind the paywall is sooo annoying! ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2025-10-18, version 6.4.12* I’ve always liked the series. I still remember playing this game on my school issued Chromebook during class. Truly, a game I cannot ever forget. ### 5/5 — I love it🙂🙂 *2025-09-01, version 6.1.25* I first played it on my dads phone and it was so fun I had to Download it and play Im now in there are no bugs no glitches U can do any strategy thx for the game ### 2/5 — Great idea, bad execution *2025-09-01, version 6.1.25* Enjoyed the first 20 minutes of the game, but it is quite literally impossible to 3 star any map on the easiest mode mind you past level 3. Which on casual it should be casual. I’ve played my fair share of games but this one is just difficult right off the bat. No reason for it to be that hard to 3 star any map on the easiest mode. Kids would definitely be upset as I was upset at that fact. ### 5/5 — Honestly a good and commendable game *2025-08-18, version 6.1.25* My fav tower game of all time ### 5/5 — Too good to be true? *2025-07-17, version 6.1.25* This game is one of the best offline games ever they put so much work into this it is a 10/10 game ### 5/5 — Quite good game I must say *2025-07-16, version 6.1.25* I think I beat the game but that was a bit ago any way gooood game ### 5/5 — Best game series for mobile *2025-06-19, version 6.1.25* I've replayed these games several times over the past decade. Always fresh. ### 4/5 — A good game *2025-06-14, version 6.1.25* It a pretty hard game you should try it out if you like strategy games 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿👽🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿 ### 3/5 — Limited levels *2025-06-12, version 6.1.25* Why aren’t there more levels to play for this game? Oh because this game is free and all the others cost money. What a good marketing strategy. I do love there aren’t ads. ### 5/5 — Play game. NOW *2025-05-04, version 6.1.25* It’s so exciting and interesting kill the enemies with all of your abilities ### 5/5 — It game *2025-04-07, version 6.1.25* It’s a really good game ### 4/5 — Good game but… *2025-03-18, version 6.1.25* Constantly moves the goalposts. Want something fair? Try elsewhere. ### 3/5 — It’s a good game *2025-03-16, version 6.1.25* It’s a good game but it didn’t last long because after you beat the game 1-3 times it just gets boring. I’m sorry, but a lot of the hero’s cost money too. And there hasn’t been a update for almost a year. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2025-03-13, version 6.1.25* Loads of live action. Quick thinking required ### 5/5 — FUN!!! *2025-02-15, version 6.1.25* I like rts and this qualifies as a great one! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Out of date *2025-08-15, version 6.1.25* Needs an update. Does’t work right on 2018 iPad ### 1/5 — Frustrating to watch ads and not get rewards *2025-07-21, version 6.1.25* In order to complete some levels, you need assistance. When I watch a 45 second ad and don’t get compensated for my time, I get frustrated. This happens a lot on your app. ### 1/5 — Gems and Reselling the game *2025-01-25, version 6.1.25* Balancing the game around the gems makes this once amazing gold standard for TD utter pay to progress trash. I bought all the heroes on the original version to support such an amazing game… suddenly there is an HD release.. for upgraded visuals on iPad? It’s just a resolution change something that naturally should happen when running an app on different devices. ### 1/5 — Best Game Yet! *2024-12-29, version 6.1.25* Stupid ### 1/5 — M4 iPad issues *2024-07-15, version 6.1.25* It seems that Kingdon Rush, Origins and Frontiers are all not functional on teh new iPad M4. Vengeance is working though. Is there a developer who could patch these excellent (and older) games to run. Great games all around. Thanks ### 1/5 — Unplayable Under IPadIOS 17.5.1 *2024-07-03, version 6.1.25* Controls freeze randomly. ### 1/5 — Slow *2023-10-19, version 5.8.08* Need a x2 button game is too slow ### 1/5 — Killer eyes *2023-08-22, version 5.8.08* Way too small ### 1/5 — Micro-transactions *2023-08-14, version 5.8.08* The game is balanced around spending “gems” for upgrades and starting game gold, so after the first few levels that are possible without gems, you soon either have to spend time mindlessly repeating levels for more gems, or buy them for real money. Not recommended. ### 1/5 — Would Be Great If it Weren’t Extortionware *2023-03-12, version 5.8.08* Typical pay-to-play game designed to try to frustrate users into paying to advance. It’s too bad, because the game is actually fun to a point. Then you begin hitting levels that are clearly designed to be impossible without spending endless hours getting points. “But hey, we’ll sell you these points.” You know the drill. It is fun enough that I finished all but a few ‘Heroic’ and ‘Iron’ without paying, but this crappy fun destroying business model shouldn’t be rewarded with a single star. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-15, version 6.4.22* Really fun game, one problem is that I can get stuck on levels forever, great game overall though. ### 5/5 — Great indy roots game *2026-07-24, version 6.4.22* This series is a delight! ### 5/5 — iPad *2026-07-07, version 3.9* I play on a iOS 9 and have no issues ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-06-08, version 6.4.22* Loving the game! It was the 1st TD I tried and it made me like TD! The only thing i think stinks is (nothing about this game) that its so fun and funny that i want to play all the other Kingdom Rush TD’s ! BUT NO I have to pay for them! BOOOOOOO! Anyways ill try n get them when i can. And that will mean more 5STARS for you guys! ### 5/5 — Good Times *2026-05-23, version 6.4.22* Solid game! I love that the ads are for the game itself and not some random garbage. A classic! ### 5/5 — Solid *2026-02-14, version 6.4.22* Fun ### 5/5 — W game *2026-01-21, version 6.4.20* W game ### 5/5 — Really fun tower defense game! *2026-01-18, version 6.4.20* This game has a good amount of challenge but isn’t to hard, and this game also has sick graphics. I highly suggest this game! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-13, version 6.4.20* Very fun I have played tower defense games this is one of the best ### 5/5 — W h o o *2025-10-23, version 6.4.12* A h --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
