Kingdom Rush HD is a strategy game in which you have to build towers to beat back waves of enemy fighters and advance down the road. As you claim more checkpoints, you unlock greater capabilities, but you'll also encounter more diverse and powerful creatures to battle.

Pros

Variable intensity: For each new level you advance to, you can set the level of difficulty. The options are Casual, Normal, and Veteran, and because you can change it at any time, you don't have to start a completely new game if it turns out that the level you chose is too easy or difficult for you.

Fun mechanics: This isn't a terribly complicated game in terms of mechanics, but it has just enough variety to keep you coming back for more. The main action involves building towers on strategic points along the road so that when the enemies are approaching, you can stop them before they reach the checkpoint. There are four different types of towers you can choose from and multiple spots you can choose for placement. But each tower costs a different amount of coins, so you have to spend wisely to make sure you get the most out of your placements.

Cons

In-app spending: There are many options for in-app purchases in this game. These include packages of gems, as well as various characters with greater powers than your basic soldiers. While you don't have to buy these items to be successful in the game, it's much harder to advance if you don't spend at least a little.

Bottom Line

Kingdom Rush HD will draw you in and make you lose track of time. It costs $2.99 on the App Store, and the hours of gameplay you'll enjoy will make it well worth the investment. And because it gives you so many options in terms of difficulty levels, it's appropriate for users of all experience levels.
