That said, the rewards and joy of gameplay outweigh the negatives, and once again, Ironhide Game Studio has done a fantastic job. Even when switching to casual mode, it felt like a doomed scenario. In the third world, I beat the boss the first time (fluke), but the fourth world was borderline ludicrous. The game can sometimes feel overwhelming – especially the boss battles, as they can seem unfair through their phases. Unlocking new skills for the supporting characters is fun, but working out which hero is best for you and which ability works best is all part of the challenge. As this is a rogue-like upon death, your characters always start at level one, so you have to earn XP again to level up.Īs mentioned, I clocked in 30+ up to the point of this Legends of Kingdom Rush review, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. There are three in total, and depending on how far you’ve progressed with that character when you level them up in-game, you can choose which skills you want to assign. As each character can level up per run, it’s worth replaying stages to unlock new skills in each of their tiers.

The boss battles are the hardest, and even when you’ve aced them when revisiting, there’s always a chance you’ll die on that run. Later skirmishes include enemies spawning, monoliths that heal enemies, and eldritch tentacles halting your advance. We’ll all have our favourites, but I must say the standouts were Asra the assassin and Reg’son for dark elf for heroes, and a mixture of the ranger, witch doctor and zapper for ranged, orc cleaver and knight for melee.Įarly Legends of Kingdom Rush battles will be a case of eliminating whatever’s on-screen.

Anyone familiar with the series will recognise the heroes and supporting characters now that they’ve descended from their towers. The core classes are melee, ranged, and magic. Your party will face off against the enemy, using action points for movement, attacks and support. Though you can choose a path, they’re pretty linear once you make your choice.

Each node is represented by an icon that may be a battle, a dice roll event that awards XP, buffs/debuffs, a vendor, plus taverns to recruit new players and rest. The game begins with your party selection, and then once you start on the map, pick a path that’s the most desirable. While there are only three ‘worlds’ to play in, with a bonus one after defeating the main bad guy, there are plenty of battles in each. Source: Screen capture Legends of Kingdom Rush Review

Not because it’s unfair and monotonous, but because each adventure is unique finding the right party and utilising their skills is all part of the learning curve. One of those rare review codes that came in way before the release date, I’d managed to clock in 30+ hours, and it sure felt like it. Kingdom Rush games have never been easy, even on the casual setting, and Legends of Kingdom Rush is no exception. Instead, you’ll pick from a squad of three to head into battle – one hero and two supporting characters, unlocking a fourth, random party member through the run. No longer the tower defence game we’re all familiar with, we now have a turn-based strategy without a single tower in sight.

That might be the mission statement at Ironhide Game Studio for their Kingdom Rush series, but instead of playing it safe, they’ve gone for something different with Legends of Kingdom Rush.
