Our Expert Score
Ironhide has done it again. Kingdom Rush Vengeance is a brilliant subversion of the series, finally letting us play as the 'bad guys.' The shift in perspective to Lord Vez'nan’s army brings a fresh set of towers and heroes that feel distinctly different from the previous entries. The polish is, as always, top-tier.
The difficulty curve is perfectly tuned. I found myself having to rethink my strategy constantly, especially with the ability to choose which five towers to bring into a mission. This adds a huge layer of tactical depth compared to the fixed towers of older games. It’s easily the best tower defense game on the market today.

PEOPLE ARE GIVING THIS 5-STARS?!!
Mon Dec 24 2018 avppro11Like many others that have played all of Ironhide’s games in the past, their games are awesome. They can be addicting at times, the art style is cool, the pop culture references are great, lots of replay ability ...etc make their games continually fun and top-notch amongst other Tower Defense games! Now for the VERY BAD review!!!! In all of Ironhide’s past games, $4.99 got you more then Kingdom Rush Vengeance has to offer and seeing that on day 1 for that reason I spent over $30 dollars buying all the Towers and all the Hero’s cause with all their other past games you got a “Horde/Endless Mode” which was well worth paying extra for everything in my opinion. I would spend countless hours playing “Horde/Endless Mode” seeing how many waves I could defeat, what different strategies I could use to beat my previous high score. That was the best part of their games, some even offered 2 Horde/Endless modes in the game and now they’re gone, nowhere to be seen!! They also put “Towers” behind a pay wall?!! You also pay $4.99 and you can’t even use all the upgrade options in the game with out you having to reset all your progress in order to choose other options. It’s a slap to the face with your money in their hands as they laugh at us with greed spewing out of all their orifices!! You’re not a triple-A studio Ironhide!! Total disappointment and disbelief in the direction this studio has gone!! All of you that gave this game 5-stars should be ashamed and embarrassed!!
A change up that’s enjoyable but sad to see some things go.
Thu Sep 12 2024 Sad excuse for a gameA little late to the party on the review but the 4th Kingdom Rush is still as fun as the others, this time with a new approach making it more challenging yet more customizable. Towers now are on a set path with no branching upgrades at the final tier but instead each are their own progression. Sounds weird but there are tons of towers (some now paid for but more on that later) you can choose from to really change up your approach to factions and environments as you see fit. They also added 5 slots for said towers giving you a decent trade off but again provides a constraint where not all towers are at your disposal. Paid towers as I mentioned before are a new option which puts a bad taste in my mouth personally, paving the way for more transactions if received positively. I’d like to see this option removed or tweaked to be cheaper. The towers are expensive and plentiful making most long for the awesome power they provide. Some of the towers don’t even really do much better but it’s still something that should be earned not bought. Final not and very personal is no enemy encyclopedia… of all the things to take away you took away the satisfaction of reading entries of enemies and unlocking all the mystery slots that kept me guessing what was next. This series means so much to me and change is good but why take away content or put it behind the paywall? Hero’s are one thing but towers is taking things far.
From a very beloved fan who has played this even before it was out on mobile
Mon Dec 31 2018 doctor angel05Dear ironhide I LOVEEEEEEE the kingdom rush franchise and have played it for as long as I can remember. I would just like to thank you for creating this awesome franchise I so dearly love. I have to admit kingdom rush vegance is probably my favorite one so far.(even though I would much rather play as a good guy rather than a villain) but despite my personal tastes I love it. Not only are the graphics better than the previous games but the game play is way less aggravating. The reason why it’s less aggravating is because of the fact that you no longer have to get three stars on every level for upgrades to your reinforcements,spells, and towers just to stay ahead of the curve in difficulty. I like the fact that you made a set number of upgrade points even if you only get one star on a level. But there are a few things I think you should add to the game. Unlike the last three games in the franchise there were no side quests after you beat the campaign not was their an endless mode. Because of the fact I beat the campaign today I was a little disheartened to see that their were no side quests or an endless mode. But please do not make the side quests extremely difficult to do like in the last three kingdom rush games because I am still trying to beat some of the side quests in kingdom rush:frontiers. Other than that keep doing what your doing ironhide!!!! P.S. KingdomRush:vengeance isn’t the end of the franchise is it!? Sincerely, Dylan Angelucci
The Dark Side?
Tue Nov 27 2018 ThaRealChampiOnKillaSo in past games, you played as the good guys as in most games. This time though, you get to play as the bad guy you were fighting before?! That is what this game is all about and makes it a different experience and VERY entertaining. I have well over 16 hours played and yes I bought the dragon hero but only because I never bought him in the past and honestly have always wanted him but never bought him. I beat 55% of the game so far WITHOUT using the hero so no in-game purchases and even went back and replayed all of the levels with the dragon as my hero and beat the same levels a 2nd time just to see if it was pay to win. It's not, but he does make the game a lot more fun when the enemies run away in fear and I get a good laugh out of it. Yes, run away puny mortals mwuahahahahahahaha!!! Anywho, I'd give it a 10/10 for graphics cartoon-like graphics but very crisp and clean. As for gameplay 10/10, because not only do you have to place towers correctly but you have to time your spells and choose where to place your hero and when and makes the game challenging but not too difficult. As for the sound quality, 10/10 It seems to me REALLY nice and the animations are smooth amd crisp no lag what so ever so 10/10 for frame rate. As for storyline?... Yeah I'd have to rate it 0/10 so dull and plain it's so boring but the graphics make up for it... Kidding! I give it a 10/10 as well has some good ol' fashion slight comedy along the storyline on top of actually telling a tale, no spoilers found here! ;) Anywho I'd ultimately rate this game 10/10! So go pick it up!!!
A Great TD game with a few flaws
Mon Dec 24 2018 ThisgameisalieI’ll start with the good then the bad. This game is unique compared to the previous games for example you could upgrade the archer tower to a specialization in previous installments, in this game you can choose a loadout of five towers total and each tower has its own traits like the shadow archer, goblin boomerang, and bone tower. You have three options for each tower type for a total of 20 different, unique towers. This game plays the same with no noticeable bugs and look great, you also play as a villain. Now for the flaws, just like previous installments you can pay for hero's but now you can also buy towers. All villains have passives now, like the orc can regen hp when close to death. The problem is the paid villains have better passives, stats and abilities also the same passive is used three times out of 9 villains, the ability to teleport or traverse the map quickly and of course the most expensive villain you can buy is not only the strongest but has a passive where you get more gold when enemies die next to it and the said villains is worth more than the game itself. I can forgive the paid towers because you can try some of them on the challenge maps but still the towers are too expensive 4.99 for the most expensive to 2.99 for the next and they are on sale! You don't have to pay for the villains or the towers but still you could buy this game 4 times or pay for all towers and villains. I still recommend this if you want a fun and unique TD experience
Misled
Sun Oct 15 2023 BobbyCakes95This game is fun BUT the description of it definitely misleads the customer. It states that for $4.99 US dollars, you’ll be able to play with 15 heroes and 20 towers. When the truth is that for that price you only get 3 heroes and 11 towers. All the other heroes and towers have to be purchased. Also this would be less of an issue if prices for them weren’t absurd. Some heroes and towers by themselves cost more than the base game, which makes no sense and any combination of either a tower or heroes, will cost you more than the base game. Midway through the game you will have unlocked every hero and tower included as well as have fully done your upgrades. If you changed heroes you will have also fully leveled them all up by this point. Why do I say this, because at this point in the game you will have completed the progression system and will feel as if the only reason it is complete is because you’re not willing to invest more money into the game. Lastly, I just want to say this wouldn’t be a big deal if the description just properly let people know what they’re actually getting for the price of the game. I do think the base game is worth the price of it, def worth more than a 3 star rating. Its just that as someone who came from a free to play kingdom rush, I honestly initially thought that this sequel had to be paid for due to having more playable heroes and towers and I must take that into account for my rating as it was a disappointment once i started playing the game.
Amazing game worth the money, also suggestions
Sun Oct 11 2020 HcaehribfaihsbhdjI absolutely love the kingdom rush series and have played it multiple times, and this game was amazing, however I have a few suggestions. First, where are the save files? I had a file I worked on for months then came back to the game a bit later and wanted to restart. The only way you can do that in Vengeance is to reset all progress. Second, more free heroes? I loved the variety in heroes from Origins and I hoped for more free heroes. I also wish there could be special heroes you get for different accomplishments. Maybe a hero you get with all 3 stars and the 2 extra challenges on every level, or with gems. There have been times where I wanted a hero but I had no way to know if it was worth it. I didn’t want to end up buying it and finding out I don’t like it. Maybe you could use a paid hero for 300 gems every stage? Speaking of which, I feel a bit ripped off. I did pay 5$ for a mobile game, expecting no ads and no micro transactions. Sure, the ads aren’t forced, but you still have to watch them to get gems. There is also micro transactions for gems. I can see micro transactions in free games but paying 5$ I expected the game to not be pay to win (you can get special items in battle for gems). I can understand maybe like 5 paid heroes and towers but 10 paid heroes and only 3 free? The towers are very balanced with 11 free and 7 paid, but I think there should be more free heroes. Other than these flaws, the game is beautiful, strategic, balanced, and very fun. I probably seem harsh, but I want my favorite mobile game series to be the best it can be! Amazing work to the developers!
It hurts me to give it three.
Mon Mar 04 2019 Big Daddy Patty 24Let me start out by saying, I’ve been a kingdom rush fan since day one. They are by far the best mobile games on the market. Vengeance had so much potential yet it was squandered. Let’s start with the pros. First, the game looks great. It is very visually appealing and is very detailed. Second, is there are SOME good towers in this game and they really play of your nostalgia. For instance, the Dark Knights or the Harassers were some of the coolest, yet most annoying enemies to go against, and to have them in your arsenal is beyond epic. The third, is that it has some cool level design. But in my opinion, it seemed that this game was a BIG cash grab. Just playing on people’s nostalgia to buy it. Firstly, let’s talk about the towers you have to pay for. That is completely unacceptable. There is one they sell for around $7!!!! Second, is the terribly boring enemies. They had so many chances to put in cool enemies yet they failed. Third, is the lack of content. There were very few levels to play in and no post campaign levels when they first came out. And then they release the most terrible DLC with 3 new levels. It is SO bad. The enemies are just annoying and really break the mechanics of the game. Lastly, is wasted potential. There were so many cooler towers and hero’s they could’ve come up with. In all, this is a great game, but it does not match up the the Kingdom Rush Standard.
