  1. [R8] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 5/5 · US Everything you want: Great game, minimal to no ads. Great campaign and intricate building strategies. Just download it
  2. [R9] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 3/5 · GB Game needs updates: They could add maybe 2 - 3 new towers and maybe another path for upgrading I think the game lacks content and needs more updates
  3. [R19] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 5/5 · US AMAZING GAME GET NOW: So I downloaded this game bc I was going to go on a long car trip. The first glance attractions: no internet required, had good reviews, and it was my type of game. So I downloaded it. I fell in love. This game is so fun and addicting! Further along the levels it does become pretty hard but not impossible. You just had to find the perfect mix of towers. There are four. A heav
  4. [R45] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 5/5 · US Fun and strategic: I truly love this game. It’s a great balance of fun and strategy. As you level up the towers get more fun. I paid once for this game over 10 years ago and I still play it today.
  5. [R7] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 2/5 · US Waste of Time: Not being able to pause and save the game for later makes zero sense and the game is harder than it needs to be and is definitely a cash grab, some enemies are way too strong at such low rounds this causes you to have to buy gems to 100% the game or just lose over and over again and waste and absurd amount of time playing
  6. [R16] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 1/5 · US Tiny screen: You can barely see the game. The playable area barely takes up 25% of the screen. Reminds oh early 1990 developers who couldn’t figure out how to test the device resolution and apply some simple math to scale properly. Not fun
  7. [R20] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 1/5 · US Broken on newer devices.: Doesn’t work on my 2018 ipad. Needs an update
  8. [R4] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 2/5 · US Reset my progress: I really enjoy playing this game but my most recent attempt at playing was ruined when the game for some reason reset all my progress which made me uninstall it
  9. [R29] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 5/5 · US Audio issue in headphones: Fun tower defence game. Only complaint is that when audio and haptics are turned off, there is a clicking in the background. My backgrounded music on both Spotify and apple music gets interior as well. Pretty annoying. Still a fun game if you don't want to soundtrack your own.
  10. [R33] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 5/5 · US I 100% it just for fun: Idk but I can recommend this game because I played it for years then completed everything just to enjoy it 10/10 would recommended
  11. [R10] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 2/5 · US Fun, until the dead end: Great game, but it’s impossible to move forward without spending money.
  12. [R11] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 5/5 · US Honestly impressed: At level three. No ads so far. In game gem-gain. Solid tower defense.
  13. [R30] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 1/5 · GB In app purchases scam: 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… 👎🏻
  14. [R38] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 1/5 · GB Overpriced extras: Better off purchasing on other platforms, where the heroes are all included in base price.
  15. [R37] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 5/5 · US Blown away!: Played many years ago and only remembered from the final boss. ZERO ADS THE WHOLE TIME!!! 🤯🤯🤯 really amazing game and got sucked in for 10 hours the first night!😳 i might just spend $4 on random stuff because i loved it so much! Really! Nice job!!!❤️❤️❤️
  16. [R56] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 5/5 · US The best: It is very fun and I love it so much. I would recommend it to everyone else and there is no ads
  17. [R3] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 3/5 · US Great game but the game dev made it way too hard: Its a good game, I enjoyed it until it got way too hard for no reason, as if went from normal mode to insane/extremely hard after one stage.
  18. [R13] Kingdom Rush Tower Defense TD 2/5 · US Not well balanced: While the game can be somewhat fun, even on its lowest difficulty for a level the fights are hectic and can be overwhelming very quickly. Enemies are never easily beaten, regardless of how well you plan your defense or upgrade your towers. Enemy health needs to be lowered and tower damage increased to make this a fun game. As of right now it is a slog to do any level.
