Kingdom Rush was created by Ironhide Game Studio - an independent, Urugwayan developer.

Mechanics

The game is set in a classic fantasy world resembling the medieval period. Thus the player fights orcs, knights or giants, using mainly archers and cannons. Also, the game world does not lack magic, which is here for the player to use as well.

As befits a classic representative of the tower defense genre, the player's mission in Kingdom Rush for PC, AND and etc. is to defend the base against subsequent, gradually more powerful enemy waves. The enemies try to cross the player's line of defense constantly - they take pre-defined paths, which has to be taken into account when planning further actions. The player makes use of four typical buildings when protecting the base - a tower for archers, a magic academy for sorcerers, artillery posts causing damage as ranged weapons, as well as the barracks generating soldiers who neutralize the enemies directly on their path. Eliminating the attackers generates income here, which can be spent on extending the player's line of defense through adding subsequent towers or upgrading those already existing, which makes them cause more damage. When the situation gets worse, apart from being able to count on buildings, the player can also use spells allowing to weaken or even kill hordes of enemies.
