KINGDOM RUSH SERIES IN A NUTSHELL

1. Developer: Ironhide Game Studio
2. Publisher: Ironhide Game Studio
3. First game launched: July 2011

{/wskrocie}

We already mentioned Ironhide Game Studio's latest hit, the RTS game Iron Marines. Equally notable, however, are the team's earlier achievements, specifically the tower defense trilogy Kingdom Rush.

The series includes Kingdom Rush, Kingdom Rush Frontiers, and Kingdom Rush Origins. All three are based on the same principle. Each features a series of maps covered with paths leading to a base. Armies of enemies march towards us, and our job is to eliminate them before they reach their destination. There are spots along the way, where we can mount up defences by setting turrets with different kinds of troops that automatically engage the enemy. On top of that, we can manually cast spells and give direct commands.

This is, of course, tower defense 101, but Ironhide, as people that popularized this very genre, are hardly to blame to sticking to the formula of Kindom Rush. The series doesn't need innovation. Its strength is primarily the exquisite campaigns with perfectly balanced maps and units. These elements make it the best tower defense out there.

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution 2

Coming up next, we've got Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution 2. It's a spin-off of the legendary PC series of turn-based strategies, from ground-up developed for mobile platforms.

The authors very adequately compressed the mechanics, boiling them down to make the gameplay faster and less complicated – while retaining the heart of the entire franchise. In the game, we choose one of a dozen nations and lead it to global domination. We gather resources, build and improve cities, develop technologies, recruit armies and wage wars. There's also diplomacy and trade.

The title offers a lot of leeway. Success can be achieved not only by conquest, but also by gaining a crushing technological, cultural or economic advantage. Importantly, each of these paths proves just as much fun, and the game, despite some simplifications, has depth that most mobile strategies only wish they had.
