Description[edit]
Kingdom Rush is a real-time tower defense game set in a medieval fantasy setting. Each level presents a pre-determined path with empty slots all around, called 'Strategy Points', where the player can build towers. There are four types of towers to choose from : Mages, Archers, Barracks, and Artillery, each costing a certain amount of money to build and upgrade. At the beginning of each level, the player gets some money in order to build the first towers. As enemies begin to emerge from one end of the path, the towers must be able to kill them before they reach the other end of the path (defence point). The player will also rely on a few spells and heroes (with cool-downs) to help the towers. Killing enemies generates money, which can readily be used to build and upgrade towers. Another way to earn money is to call enemy waves early, which also reduces cool down time of spells. Money is also earned by selling built towers or having an enemy reach the defence point. When an enemy gets there, the player loses 1-20 lives depending on the enemy. There are 18 levels in total and 48 different types of enemies that one will encounter throughout the levels.
Completing a level for the first time gives the player 1-3 stars. These stars can be used to unlock passive upgrades that improve the effectiveness of the various towers and spells. After completing a campaign level with 18 or more lives remaining (out of 20), the player earns 3 stars and the Heroic Mode and Iron Challenge are unlocked for this level. These are more challenging modes that take place on the same path and impose various constraints. In these modes, the player will only be given one life, so any enemy surviving to the defence point triggers a failure. Heroic Mode and Iron Challenge reward one star each when completed.
On April 25, 2012, Ironhide Game Studio released a new updated version of Kingdom Rush for Android and iOS devices that included new features and a new level.[5] Among these new features were a shop and a hero's room. The shop provides items such as extra coins and dynamite that can be purchased through the winnings of gems in battle. The hero's room provides a selection of heroes that aid in battle and can be obtained by passing levels. These heroes vary from defenders to archers and can be placed anywhere on the path.
Kingdom Rush has full voice acting, most of which was done by voice talent Sean Crisden.
The game was featured in a problem in the 2012 Google Code Jam programming contest.[6]

Whenever I mention Kingdom Rush — say, via social networks — someone usually responds with some sort of reverence for the tower-defense game. People just seem to love it. Need more proof than a few remarks from my circle of online buddies? As I mentioned before, nearly 25,000 players gave it an average five-star rating on iTunes. Hey, I can relate. My personal addiction has led me to finish every stage and every challenge in Kingdom Rush — three times over.
Kingdom Rush Frontiers Hacked
Now the follow-up is out for iPhone and iPad (no word yet on PC/Flash or Android options). And while Kingdom Rush: Frontiers still has the same strategy-based gameplay where you plop down defensive buildings to stop waves of enemies, the new additions will consistently surprise you, level after level.
No doubt about it — this is an excellent sequel. But to properly explain why, I'm going to reverse our normal reviews format and start with the negative.

No doubt about it — this is an excellent sequel. But to properly explain why, I'm going to reverse our normal reviews format and start with the negative.
What you won't like
That initial same-y feel
Wait … is Frontiers a sequel? Or a glorified expansion? The developers at Ironhide Game Studio don't help their cause by offering the same base towers that the original Kingdom Rush has. The basic buildings haven't changed: barracks (for enemy-blocking foot soldiers), archer towers (ranged attackers), mage towers (ranged magic), and dwarven bombards (explosive-lobbing cannons) — see our preview for more details.
A first glance shows a lot of the same old stuff, and that will probably lead to some early mutterings of disappointment from fans of the original.
Pricey premium heroes
Kingdom Rush Frontiers - Tower Defense Crack Torrent
As in the first Kingdom Rush, Frontiers features heroes — powerful individual characters that you can position around the stages to help bolster your forces. Three free ones come with the game. Unfortunately, the developers saved the best for your wallet. Sha'Tra, an alien who can summon UFOs, costs $4.99 — as much as the most expensive guys from the last game. Ashbite the dragon is huge and looks impressive flying around the battlefield, raining fire down on your foes. But you're going to have to dish out $6.99 to see him in action.
Of course, these are all optional purchases. But to see the coolest units that Frontiers has to offer, you're going to have to pay.
What you'll like
Great new towers
Of course, the stars of any tower-defense game are those quick pop-up structures that you set up around the map to ward off invaders. Frontiers' start off old-news. But once you upgrade them past a certain point, you'll find the new options that will force you to make some interesting choices.
Do you go for the crossbow fort, which can increase the range of all towers around it? Or the tribal axe-throwers, which can plant magical totems that greatly weaken enemies and stop their spellcasting?
Just shapes & beats download for mac download. Just Shapes & Beats v1.2.26 MacOSX Free Download 'Just Shapes & Beats' is a hell of chaotic music based on three simple things: avoiding shapes, kicking and dying, over and over again. This is a new twist in the SHMUP genre, adding a layer of collaboration to.
Do you go the route of the archmage tower, which can charge up explosive bolts or spin out deadly whirlwinds? Or the necromancer tower, which can revive fallen enemy units and turn them into allied undead?
Each of the new towers is uniquely powerful. They provide such vastly different strategies that I'd often pause the game to think through which upgrades I'd commit to on the limited real estate that each level offers.
And they all work together rather well, too. I can't deny the small thrill that I get when my assassins decloak just in time to stop a squad of lizardmen near the epicenter of my firey-earthquake maker while my necromancer drops health-zapping pestilence over the area.
Little surprises to discover
In the last Kingdom Rush, you could find little secrets in each stage — a fish to catch, a mushroom from the popular Plants vs. Zombies game, or a small cameo from the Ice Age films. For Frontiers, the developers must've decided that they needed to show a little bit more nerd cred because it's packed full of sci-fi movie references, none of which I really want to spoil for you here because they're such a joy to discover.
A lot of them are interactive, too. Solve the puzzle for a certain fedora-clad adventurer, and he can help you squish certain alien threats before they hatch.
You might see a miniboss carve a new path through the jungle, creating a new, now-undefended lane for enemies to march down. You might bribe a couple of drunken pirates to shoot their ship's cannons at a spot of your choosing. You might stop an evil tribal warrior from throwing a virgin into the volcano in order to stop him from receiving a god's blessing, which greatly powers him up.
It didn't take long until I was as excited to see what was in the background in each new stage as I was to play it. Even return visits to previously beaten levels (to complete extra challenges) would show some subtle changes. The game knows you've been there already, and the art reflects that with loving detail.
Gallery: Gallery
Conclusion
I have every reason to be tired of this series (beating the first game three times can do that to you). And for the first few levels, I was afraid I had reached that point where I wasn't experiencing much new. But as new maps opened up, and as new tower-building options became available, I fell in love.
I will say, as one final negative (or maybe positive, if you're the masochistic type): I think the toughest stages here may actually be more difficult than the toughest stages in the original if you can believe that. As of this writing, I still haven't defeated one of the final bosses, who is a dirty rotten cheater.
But I'll keep going back for more punishment because Kingdom Rush: Frontiers is just that damn good. It's not only worthy of carrying the title of 'sequel to Kingdom Rush,' it's one of the finest tower-defense games you'll find anywhere, regardless of platform.
Score: 94/100
Kingdom Rush: Frontiers is out June 6, 2013 for iOS. The developer provided GamesBeat with a prerelease version for the purpose of this review.
