In other words, if you played on your iPhone and completed several levels, when you pick up your iPad to play, you'll be right back at the beginning.Charge into the action in this classic Tower Defense game! Welcome to Kingdom Rush! Not only will you have to pay twice for the game if you want it on more than one iOS device the game does not sync between devices. One problem a colleague pointed out to me after this review posted is one that's definitely worth mentioning. I appreciate that Kingdom Rush Origins is not going to nickel-and-dime you at every turn like other freemium titles, but it still seems a little steep. You can unlock a few of the heroes simply by playing, but if you want some of the higher-tiered heroes, you can spend as little as $1.99 on up to $6.99 - just for a hero. The other way the game separates you from your money is with the special heroes.
#KINGDOM RUSH TOWERS ANDROID#
I really wish they would make it universal.Īndroid gets a break in pricing because it is universal to all Android devices, but keeps the lower price of the phone version ($2.99, £1.99, AU$3.79). Unfortunately, this means if you want to have it on two iOS devices you'll have to pay for each. Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNETĪs was true for earlier installments of the Kingdom Rush series, Origins has separate installers (and separate pricing) for iPhone ($2.99, £1.99, AU$3.79) and iPad ($4.99, £2.99, AU$6.49). When new monsters arrive, get an edge by reading their strengths and weaknesses. Still, it's great to find these little Easter eggs as you play. But trust me, you'll be so busy upgrading towers, directing your heroes, and using your special abilities there will be little time for horsing around. On any given map, there are tons of things to touch and press that add to the interactivity of the game. For example, you'll be able to buy a building that produces a character called the Panda Hero that is an effective addition to defend a single path. Another level has little creatures up in the trees (that look quite a lot like the Ewoks from "Star Wars") that automatically start throwing spears at your enemies as they pass by.įor added protection, you'll also find buildings already some maps that give you extra heroes to use in your defense. Some maps will have giant flowers growing at strategic points, and when they are pulsating with light, you'll be able to tap them for a single attack of several magic missiles. One of the things that makes Kingdom Rush Origins so great are all the little extras you'll find as you play.
#KINGDOM RUSH TOWERS UPGRADE#
In between games you can upgrade the overall power of each type of tower as well, so it's important to keep adding points earned to each tower type so they're stronger overall.Ĭhoose your hero from the top, then upgrade his spells and abilities.
But even beyond that, you can upgrade the type of arrows the archers use and add sleep poison to the arrows or burst-shot abilities. For example, the elven archer tower starts with just one archer, but you can upgrade it up to three archers for triple the attacks. In other words, using a mix of towers is the best bet.Įach of your towers can be upgraded to give them more attack power and more attacks. But they also slow enemies down so you can really deal damage with your other towers. The infantry is the backbone of your defense, fighting on the front lines as it defends a path. You get four defense towers to choose from that give you different types of attack power including elven infantry, elf archers, mystic mages, and stone druids. The only way to stop that from happening is to upgrade. If the number of enemies that pass through the exit is more than your remaining lives, your round is over.
