I really don’t like that. They took most of the heroes away and that you can only have one hero instead of three like it used to be. ### 2/5 — Didn’t have to be this way *2026-08-07, version 6.4.22* Amazing game, until you complete the campaign. Then all the other missions are un-winnable unless you spend spend money to get more gold for your towers before the mission. Super disappointing, I really liked this game ### 3/5 — Too busy for me *2026-08-02, version 6.4.22* Downloaded and played again after not playing for many years. Was hoping for a casual TD game I can just have fun with. First it slandscape only so tha hurts my back unless I rest my arms. Next I played the campaign an it's ok but then they incorporate mad tapping to ward off frozen buildings and that ruined it for me. Next the infinity mode is too complicated and you can't pick from different layouts. I play a lot of advanced wars still and enjoy a casual game that has just enough difficulty to make me think but not more than that. For me this game moved away from being fun and into being tedious. I still bought the hero pack to support the devs since they do a great job of development and testing but sadly I will be looking for a game that fits my desires and play style. ### 5/5 — KR *2026-07-21, version 6.4.22* Trust no WiFi needed best game you ### 5/5 — KingdomRush *2026-07-14, version 6.4.22* Great game and love all the newer versions ### 5/5 — Pretty decent *2026-07-10, version 6.4.22* This game is pretty good for waiting and stuff but I think that the devs could make more heroes free instead of only 4 being free like you could get the heroes for free for like doing one of the hard achievements like finishing 5 veteran levels will get you like 3 random heroes ya know something like that. Also the devs need to ad more achievements because I played for 2 days and I have more than half of the achievements but other that those problems it’s pretty good. ### 5/5 — Amazing game!! *2026-07-08, version 6.4.22* Such an amazing game I am replaying it for the 3d time, I only wish it had more levels. ### 5/5 — Gotta get it!! *2026-07-03, version 6.4.22* Classic path game with cool upgrades, well balanced ### 5/5 — Still one of my favorite games *2026-07-03, version 6.4.22* Got this years ago, it’s completely playable offline so I tend to come back to it whenever I’m somewhere with bad internet. It is such an awesome game, the characters, towers, levels, everything is just so well designed. It’s always fun to play. This is the gold standard that I compare every other mobile game to ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-30, version 6.4.22* Very fun to play ### 3/5 — Kingdom of annoying *2026-06-28, version 6.4.22* Very annoying to play but has some potential if you grind ### 5/5 — Classic *2026-06-21, version 6.4.22* OG game love it ### 5/5 — Fun game to play *2026-06-18, version 6.4.22* Fun game to play ### 2/5 — What the hell apple?? *2026-06-18, version 6.4.22* I liked this game but for SOME REASON they made it so I can’t play it anymore ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-06-15, version 6.4.22* This game is fun if your bored ### 5/5 — Im a nerd *2026-06-14, version 6.4.22* You guys spelled behemoth wrong in the forest troll description. But good game anyways ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-11, version 6.4.22* Best game ever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-20, version 6.4.22* You cannot get past certain levels without spending an insane amount of gems this game would be fun if they didn’t force you to either spend money or waste time grinding gems to buy upgrades to still lose ### 1/5 — garbage garbage *2026-08-16, version 6.4.22* terrible do not support this inappropriate game ### 1/5 — Controls my sound. *2026-05-28, version 6.4.22* The options are: 1) Game sound. 2) Total. Silence. 3) Not playing. I choose 3. Devs, why why why why why why why do you need to turn off users’ sound? You can’t track how many users delete this game unplayed because of this inane policy. Let’s set aside folks who want their own music/books. Have you even considered that this interferes with AirPods’ ability to act as hearing assistance? So that you can, what, control your users? If the creators couldn’t foresee this incredibly simple facet of game design, I don’t want to waste my time finding out what other failures they’ve encoded. Ugh. ### 1/5 — Worst td ive ever played *2026-04-08, version 6.4.22* Just get a different tower defence ### 1/5 — Money? *2026-03-10* Pay to win ### 1/5 — Why can’t it save the progress of level *2026-03-05* I am on the last wave but then I have to minimise the app for some reason, i come back a few minutes later only to find that iOS removed the app from memory so I now to start that particular level from wave 1. Frustrating! ### 1/5 — Nothing like the PC version *2026-02-16* I really liked the PC version, but this is not a port of that. In a typical mobile game fashion they want you to replay a single level several times (and fail due by design) so that you can collect “chrystals” and then exchange them for bonus that will finally allow you to win and progress. Of course, you can also buy the crystals with real world money… It’s the typical mobile game slop that tries to get as much money out of the player as possible or force them into an endless and non-fun grind. There’s no strategy no nothing, just a grind or pay to win. God I hate mobile gaming so much it’s unreal… ### 1/5 — In app purchases scam *2025-12-22, version 6.4.12* It’s an Apple Arcade game so it’s not meant to have any in app purchases, but it still has stuff like characters locked behind a paywall for £9.99… 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — rubbish *2025-11-27, version 6.4.12* rubbish ### 1/5 — 开发者全是畜牲 *2025-11-25, version 6.4.12* 开飞机投炸弹前摇大得恶心人跟开发者全e家dead了一样 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-22, version 6.4.22* I really enjoyed playing through all the levels. Thank you so much to all the developers and artists. Y’all are awesome. ### 5/5 — 最喜欢玩的游戏 *2026-08-21, version 6.4.22* 好玩爱玩 ### 5/5 — Good time killer *2026-08-17, version 6.4.22* Fife stars ### 5/5 — Lucas *2026-08-16, version 6.4.22* BEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED pls make more games like this ### 5/5 — Hero’s *2026-08-12, version 6.4.22* Early stage heroes usefully but their lv resets each time you go to next stage make heroes useless cause monsters getting stronger the farther you go also lots heroes but can only pick 1 not worth buying heroes at all ### 5/5 — Kingdom rush is PEAK *2026-08-08, version 6.4.22* I love playing kingdom rush and I’m sad that they replaced the old tower upgrade system from all the newer games. 10/10 best tower defense game out there. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-08-06, version 6.4.22* Do yourself a favor and download this now! ### 5/5 — Fun but why is it the only free kingdom rush game *2026-08-03, version 6.4.22* Why is the first kingdom rush is the only free one(except app arcade)were if you get into the series you must pay for the other games ### 5/5 — Too good not to leave a review. *2026-08-02, version 6.4.22* I've enjoyed this game a lot recently. It's a very solid and well done tower defense game. Definitely well worth the try ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2026-07-24, version 6.4.22* Love this game huge part of my childhood I love the story that’s something they didn’t even have to include but they did thru truly went the extra mile with this game zero complaints love the gameplay love the story, perfection --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
