Kingdom Rush
Strategy 28 July 2011
A tower defense game requiring the player to defend a position against attacking fantasy creatures. The game was created by Ironhide - an independent developer. Kingdom Rush is set in a classic fantasy world filled with magic, orcs, knights and giants. The player's goal is to prevent the enemies from reaching the other side of the map. The attackers come in waves and each one is more powerful than the previous. When planning further actions, the player has to build defensive structures on the path of the enemy, including towers for archers, artillery posts and barracks generating soldiers who fight the attackers directly. Elimination of enemies generates income, which can be spent on expanding the line of defense through the addition of new buildings or upgrade of the existing ones. When the situation gets worse, the player can also cast powerful offensive spells capable of stopping or even destroying entire groups of enemies. Completing a level earns the player golden stars, allowing them to upgrade their units or make spells more effective. Kingdom Rush stands out with its eye-pleasing, colorful and detailed visuals.
