“I've been a huge fan of the Kingdom Rush series since I was tiny playing the original on my dad's phone. I was so startled to learn that there were more of these amazing games a few years ago, and even in frontiers and…”

“One of my favorite tower defense games. I used to play this a lot back in 2015 or so when I downloaded it on my phone. I got addicted to it, and even now, it remains a very addictive strategic game. I love how big the…”
“This is the fourth game of the series that I played and I really enjoyed it. It took me 64 hours to get all trophies (both DLC included). I like how the interface was so much cleaner than the other games. However, I…”
“Objectively a good game at least a good 15/20 hours of fun, replayable and mostly worth the money. But absolutely the weakest of the Kingdom Rush series. Many times the waves are repetitive as can be, and for minutes…”

“judge me if you want, but i like the kingdom rush games. i got them on the kindle fire, my i phone, steam. just a fun easy tactical game, have played for year now. simple, easy, fun... gets harder slowly”
“Kingdom Rush was one of my childhood game, being able to play it again as an adult is kinda insane. KRV is more beginner friendly than any other entry of the franchise and I think it is good a good start for people not…”
“Ignore my time as I was playing it in offline mode which doesn't track time played correctly. It is Kingdom Rush so if you played any of these games before then you know what to expect, beautifully whimsical art whether…”

“Kingdom Rush Vengeance doesn't hit the mark First of all the game plays like it is in slow motion, every enemy seems like they are moving through a lake of molasses. Even on the highest difficulty I was only partially…”
“I've played over 50 hours on my tablet and now playing it on the desktop. Runs great on Linux. A polished Kingdom Rush game, do recommend to anyone interested in tower defense. This one feels a bit easier than the…”
“Loved Kingdom Rush, Frontiers, Origins. This one is... fine, I guess. Story is depressing (in the 'rocks fell nothing mattered' kind of way) and game play is flatter. It's more KR and the campaign was fun enough, but…”

“Not a great PC tower defence game. I loved previous ones but this one isn't great. Every lovel or two you're unlocking something new which gets very overwhelming very quickly. There's no way to speed up waves either. It…”

“Kingdom Rush game where you play as the villain and heroes from previous Kingdom Rush games are your enemies? Amazing. I played a bit and 16 hours flew by like nothing. And the variety of towers is just crazy. Very good tower defense and highly addictive.”

— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“Vengeance is the strongest entry in the series so far and, in my opinion, better than the previous games.
