About Kingdom Rush
Kingdom Rush blends simple setup with steady pressure and clear tactical choices. Each map sends waves of goblins, orcs, shamans, and fliers along fixed paths. You place archer posts, barracks, mages, and artillery on marked spots to stop them. Reinforcements drop two soldiers that stall threats right on the road. Rain of Fire wipes clusters and opens space for your lines to recover.
Progress ties to choices you make between battles and during each push. You earn stars for lives saved. Those stars unlock upgrades across the roster. Each basic defense branches into advanced builds during a run with clear roles. Rangers add poison and slows, and Musketeers pick off tough units from afar. Arcane towers crack heavy armor with focused blasts. Big Bertha blasts groups, and Tesla coils zap packs that flood lanes. A hero marches with your troops and gains levels during the campaign. You move that hero to plug gaps or chase key casters.
New stages keep plans changing with split paths, ambushes, and terrain that shapes placement. Enemy rosters push clear counters and punish one-note builds. Dark knights shrug off arrows, and mages take the lead against them. Wolves sprint fast, and slows or extra blockers keep them contained. After a clear, Heroic and Iron modes limit hearts and tower choices and test timing. Hand-drawn art reads clean at a glance, and punchy sound makes every hit land. Quick restarts and short waves encourage repeat runs without dragging out sessions.
