Is it as classic as kingdom rush? No! However it offers a couple of extra things hat KR does not. In this every map helps you out in some way whether it be elves shooting at orcs or hypogriffs flying out to snatch goblins up from the trail you are guaranteed help in every level. It at first seems to be easier than KR but once you reach level 10, if you’re like me and go for all of the stars then the challenge gets real and even if you don’t the bosses provide a good challenge. Empire also allows you to purchase premium heroes for the premium currency of diamonds! Oh no! But wait! All is not lost! Diamonds are easily obtainable in daily challenges so if you really care about the game, premium heroes will be no problem. There is only one hero that requires you to pay money but you don’t really have to. This game is epic and legendary and has lots to offer. I highly recommend it as it has helped me kill lots of time and surely will in the future.

Now, before I begin I haven’t actually played this game too much. This is weird, because I loved playing Kingdom Rush and this game is basically the same as that one. However, I feel like there are two major flaws with this game that make me like it a lot less than other td games. 1. Enemies have both physical and magic resistance, making it unclear as to why I would ever need some towers as everything seems to die at the same pace no matter what I use. The resistances are not pronounced enough. I think this would improve if the game were made harder with resistances playing more of a role. 2. Tower variations don’t seem to different to me. The two basic choices are too similar to each other in my opinion. Like, in Kingdom Rush, if I was having trouble taking down a big guy, I would use one of the variations that deals a lot of damage to one guy. In this game, I wouldn’t know which one is better at single target removal. Night archers have fast attack, but also have a single target % chance stun. Dawn archers have a slower attack speed but more damage, and also a single target true damage ability. Which of these towers are better at taking down a hard opponent?All in all, I think that this is a great game and is fun to play, but also I just feel like none of my decisions really matter that much in the scheme of things. That is not a good thing for a strategy game all about making decisions on which towers to place where and when to upgrade them.

This is a great TD game with well balanced towers and enemies. It gets quite tough but can be beaten without spending money. However, I think spending a few dollars on some gems would be worth it, not because you need them but honestly to support the developers who have worked hard to bring us a fun game. One curious observation is that their English is a little off here and there. One example: they said an enemy “will lose a fix amount of damage” instead of “a fixed amount.” It’s not a typo, grammar is a little shaky throughout but I’m just poking fun at them because otherwise the quality of the graphics and gameplay is very high. It’s a great game and I highly recommend downloading it.

I think the gameplay is as good as other similar games, but I put it below average because it’s very greedy, isn’t finished (and likely won’t be any time soon), and melee heroes are a pain to use sometimes. Greed: they definitely want people to spend money. This game has heroes that can only be bought with real money or earned in special events which are extremely unforgiving. The events in general are extremely unforgiving because you have to do everything during the event to complete them and some are impossible to complete without spending dozens of dollars. Unfinished: once you beat the main game, you unlock 3 new modes that have been “coming soon” for almost 5 years or maybe even more than that. What exactly does soon mean to the developers? Within the same century? It’s a bit ridiculous that the endgame modes are still unavailable, but 2 heroes that you have to buy with real money (or earn through events that require you to spend more money than the heroes cost) have been released. Cool priorities. Melee heroes: I wish there was a way to limit how far away they would attack enemies because they run all over the map to get into fights. I always have to select them and tell them to go back to where I want them to stop them from running into a huge horde and get killed.
