My wife was playing this game for free on our Mac. She seem very
engaged and seemed to be having lots of fun. Me, not like having to be
chained to a desk, looked for an iPad version and they had one (the
also have an iPhone version). I fell in love with this game. I like
defense games and used to play Fieldrunners. When Fieldrunners 2 came
out and I bought it, but it crashes all the time (show have read the
reviews first).
Kingdom Rush is a much better game and much cheaper than Fieldrunners
and Fieldrunners 2. It is currently $99 (normally $4.99); not sure if
this is the new price or a promotion period deal.
The basics of the game is that you have a kingdom to defend; village
by village. You are being invaded by hordes of bad creatures. You
start with a certain amount of money to build defenses against the
creatures. You earn money when you kill baddies. The enemies range
from low-level easy to kill fiends to tough to kill bad-asses. No
worries, well maybe some worry, but you can upgrade your defenses as
your money grows.
You can even call on temporary help from the local villagers. They are
well equipped, but they will fight hard to death to defend their home.
If they survive the onslaught, they will leave after a few seconds.
You can use this with a 10 second pause between attempts. Use them
wisely, the 10 seconds can seem like an eternity. You can also summon
fire from the skies to rain lava or fireballs down of the attackers.
This has a much longer pause before you can use this again.
The objective is to not let more than 20 enemies get past your
defenses. When an enemy evades your efforts, you lose a heart. Lose 20
hearts and you have lost the battle.
There is a certain number of waves of enemies that will attack your
land. Successfully defend through all waves with losing all of your
hearts and you will win that battle.
Completing boards will earn you stars. It little or no enemies get
pass you, then you earn 2 stars for the successful battle. Let a few
more get by and you only get 2 stars. Allow a bunch and you only get 1
stars. Why are stars important? Stars can be used to upgrade the
abilities of your army and/or equipment. Stars can also be used to buy
the assistance of Heroes that will aid in your battles.
Each board can be played in normal and easy modes. Three campaigns
exist for each board; the regular campaign and 2 levels were you can
be play challenge rounds where you might have 1 wave, but have limited
resources.
On the iPad, you have tons of extras. You can earn jewels that allow
you to purchases upgrades. You can independent weapons of mass
destruction or use it to buy extra cash to be used whenever you need
it in battle to upgrade or build more defenses.
The music and sound effects are awesome. From the music announcing the
advancements of troops, to the humorous sound effects made when
calling on your help to the zany sounds that the weapon upgrades make;
you will be entertained.
I commute to work by bus, this game makes the 45-60 minute ride seem
like 5 minutes. The game allows two other people to play their own
game without messing up your progress. If you enjoy action and
strategy games, then you will love this game. It has a level of
difficulty that will not only entertain you and engage you, but will
provoke you to play harder and longer with one goal - don't let the
bad guys win.
This game has tons of replay value and is tons fun. For me, it is
easily the best game on the iPad. Reducing the price to $0.99 makes
this an easy purchasing decision.
