On the face of it, it’s the same as what has gone before.
You then look at if it grabs me or is it starting to grow on me, but some games sit in the middle and you know that some will look at it and hate it, and some will love it. You think about how others will see the game, and you get the feeling whether it will be a hit or miss with others people. When you start playing these games, knowing you are going to be writing a review, you look at them slightly differently. Check your expectations at the door, and enjoy this familiar but slightly dry Thanksgiving turkey. Other than my bruised expectations, and an aggressive paywall, the game is solid Kingdom Rush. I may not have been paying enough attention in previous titles, but it has always been a roster of heroes with bonus characters as IAP, to segregate a good portion of content behind a paywall feels a bit aggressive.Ĭ'mon, the hero is a nice twist, but towers are the backbone of the game Whole branches of skill trees sit behind paywalls - if this is innovation, it is the wrong kind.
It feels like an expansion pack rather than a sequel, and a step back from all the innovations of Iron Marines.Īdding to the sense of having been duped, a good selection of the towers in game are only available through IAP. What I found was a title that refined the old formula to make it even more exceptional in its refusal to fulfill any of my expectations.

There is something to the disappointment I felt when playing Kingdom Rush: Vengeance, and I think Ironhide really walked into this one.
If you want to play an excellent tower defense game, go get Jelly Defense instead. Just imagine going to a posh restaurant in anticipation of a good time and a delicious meal, but once everything is served they tell you that silverware, condiments, and even napkins are sold separately, which immediately makes you feel dumbfounded, frustrated and duped. I am fine with IAPs in a freemium game or a premium one that gets a major DLC, but when they try to forcibly shove them down your throat in a newly released paid title, it becomes a slap-in-the-face move. yes, you guessed it right - a myriad of in-app purchases. Once again we see here the same top-down perspective, comic-style cutscenes, all-too-familiar gameplay and.

I can honestly say that I wanted to like this new chapter in the Kingdom Rush franchise, but eventually failed to do so.įirst of all, apart from some graphical improvement, I did not notice any evolution in the series or something that I haven't seen in their previous games.
