Great game 5/5! Ive played it many times and still love it. 2 things I have to ask to improve. First, the archer tower upgrades seemed pretty weak compared to the advantages of other towers upgrades. Second, the Barbarian Mead Hall is only useful against the hakaj trolls and gargoyles. If they had come with the twin ax upgrade already they would have been much better, because spending more gold to make them worthy fighting units when you could have just made the already good paladins better just doesnt seem worth it. All in all still Kingdom Rush is still worthy of having the #1 ranked defense game on Kong!

I love the synergy and specialization in towers. For instance two barracks one rally point near the back and the other toward the front can later have their rally points moved closer to have Paladins backing up Barbarians. Your safety arrow tower to the rear can be upgraded to sniper musketeers who bring down runners with a shot. The reinforcements are a great touch of tactics too, like using them to delay shamans and separate them from the main force.

Pro tip: For iron waves where you're allowed a Barracks, only upgrade the soldiers as a last resort as when you do new soldiers instantly spawn and the enemy will wait for them

Yesterday's and today's badges are awfully... long. What's next, "Thunderous OPEC" (Balloon Invasion) as badge of the day?

Really good game, my only suggestion is that we can control the kinds of things our units attack. It's kind of frustrating having your cannon attack the one man rather then the huge mob just out of splash range...

May I just say this is the greatest Tower Defence I have played and I myself have played almost all of them. So well done IronHide!

yes a speed button would be great most of the monsters go really slow but some of them go at an okay speed. Yes, Thomas that is quite amusing.

This is most likely the best tower defense game I've played since I discovered the internet and flash games. Kudos to the creator for bringing such new and fun concepts to the genre without really trying to be groundbreaking. I can't count the amount of times the reinforcement spell has saved my ass from going down to 19 lives :)

Great game, the one thing I disaporove of. The first upgrade for the archer towers (marskmen towers return 90% of gold when sold). Is completely useless, if you plan things right you won't ever need to sell a tower once. So I feel like I'm wasting that point when I could use it to get: better meteros, increases artillery damage, increased wizard range, etc. All the other upgrades that are perfectly useful. Come up with a better beginning upgrade. If nothing else then slightly increased damage.

It's worth noting that unlike Frontiers, KR has some balancing issues. For instance, most of the Iron/Heroic challenges are meant to be beaten with a very specific setup, with early ones having few alternative setups. Also, many of the tower abilities are not as useful as their KRF versions. There's issues like how the Teleport has a small targeting range, meaning that it may only take one or two foes off the field (unlike the Tornado which covers a huge area). On the other hand, these issues are minor and never stopped us from enjoying the game before, we just have realized how difficult it can be in retrospect. Still 5/5.

For those having problems with the last badge because of the Dark Tower stars, you could transfer your save from ArmorGames. I used my save here Kongregate, then finished it at ArmorGames then transferred it back here. :)

I feel like too much of a perfectionist when i play this game......I've never won a game without three stars because if i lose more than three lives i instantly restart :P

I thought TD was a worn out genre, then I came across this gem! This game is extremely well done and this is an excellent example of the difference between a game that's inspired versus just another rip-off. I especially like that the barracks give it a bit of a tactical angle, I'm actively involved in the strategy when the waves come rolling in.
