“Some levels in this game are like keeping Will Smith's wife's name out of your mouth. Very hard...almost impossible. But you try anyway knowing that a slap is on it's way. No regrets tho. The Kingdom Rush games are pure…”
“TLDR: More of the same solid tower defense with better hero progression, but it feels like DLC rather than a sequel, with less content and little meaningful innovation over its predecessor. PROS: ➕Hero progression ➕Can…”

“Good game, appreciably difficult”
“A great and amazing continuation for the original game, and also a bit easier in some of the aspects (which is good). Perfect choice for those who are hungry for more.”

“An absolutely perfect, beautiful, game. Played it many hours and came back to it again and again after years. Needless to say I suppose, but it is a must buy, whether or not you really like tower defense style games”
“Much like its predecessor, this younger brother is an absolute masterpiece. The map has shifted slightly south and east from the original one, and you are facing completely new enemies with different tower designs.…”

“Great game, better hero system than in the first game imo. Barracks achievements and killing 300 aliens took a while, but still completed 100%, was a great experience.”
“เป็นเกม Tower Defense ที่สนุกมาก ภาคต่อของเกม Kingdom Rush โดยภาคนี้มีของใหม่พรึบ แม้พื้นฐานทาวเวอร์จะเหมือนเดิม แต่ลักษณะการอัปเกรดต่างจากภาคที่แล้ว ทำให้มีเกมเพลย์ใหม่ๆ ศัครูใหม่ๆเพิ่มมา THEME ใหม่ ทำให้ได้รสชาติใหม่ๆ…”

“I loved this game until Umbra... what a stupid POS boss. If you make a boss like this, you have no idea what fun is. I was going to pick up the whole series, but I can do without this frustration.”
“Still great, but easily the worst balance in the series. So many overpowered enemies, mixed with some mediocre towers..and then the dwarf mech which is busted. And the gem system which..exists. Still worth your money.”

“A good sequel to the original game, but definetely weaker. Also some tower-specific achievements are too tedious and must be targeted to complete.”
