KINGDOM RUSH UPGRADE

But origin story? Yes: Instead of telling a high-fantasy story complete with humans, dwarves, goblins et al, Origins instead focuses mainly on one race of the JRR Tolkien tradition: elves. And Origins has a new set of obscure, ridiculous-but-clever bonuses you can buy using in-game currency (have enemies go back in time, unleash dragonfire, etc). Now, casting lightning or your hero’s arrow-storm is only a click away. In Origins, the controllable powers the hero grants you are now situated next to your own powers, giving you a much more intuitive interface for controlling your troops. With Origins, the balance seems much more reasonable: heroes are important and have different abilities, but a good economy and selection of towers will do just as much. Heroes, like Eridan the ranger, can swing a battle’s outcome with his powers. Frontiers gave you more heroes, and the gameplay increasingly relied on them (somewhat overly so).

But Rush introduced heroes-singular units you could upgrade (and buy, using real money) and deploy that could swing a battle if deployed at the right choke point. The Kingdom Rush series started out as a fairly conventional tower-defense game: you build your towers, upgrade them, and hope to hold off the enemy waves. Not convinced? Here are three reasons why you should stick with the series and play on.ĭragonfire is just a click away: The biggest change the series has undergone in this release is the increased focus on heroes and special abilities. While it feels like more of the same, developer Ironhide Studios proves they’ve learned a thing or two in the last three years.

Not much has changed from the last go-around- 2013’sįrontiers-except the focus has narrowed, giving the units and the level-design a more streamlined, organic feel.

The latest entry in the series, Kingdom Rush Origins, further sharpens the enchanted blade-giving players more maps, heroes, and towers to unlock.
