Kingdom Rush completely nails the tower defense genre and this first entry in the series is great fun to play; even nowadays.Kingdom Rush gameplay video → Kingdom Rush Frontiers Review Kingdom Rush Origins Review Heroes of Hammerwatch - Ultimate Edition Review Xbox One ★★★★☆ If you enjoy twin-stick combat and roguelike RPGs then you're definitely going to want to check out Heroes of Hammerwatch. I've never heard of Heroes of Hammerwatch before but it's now available on modern consoles and it's one amazing game.

I highly recommend checking out Kingdom Rush, if you like tower defense games. The careful balancing act of rationing your gold, choosing your Towers, their locations, their upgrades and where to locate your troops to maximize your effectiveness, and then flawlessly navigating your way through a nail-bitingly tough level is insanely satisfying. I couldn't put it down until I got through the whole game and I'm literally thinking about booting the game up again right now.

It may be an old game, but Kingdom Rush is still hugely enjoyable. It is simple but compelling, and when you are down to your last HP and a horde of enemies are bearing down on you, it gets extremely tense.

Kingdom Rush from Ironhide Game Studio is a casual and fun gameplay experience that doesn’t do too much to entertain but does enough to keep you coming back for more.
