This return feature allows you to control a powerful soldier, positioning them anywhere at a moment’s notice. Stragglers are easily dealt with thanks to Heroes, though. The creature might be captivating, but it poses a danger to nearby towers! And, as before, you cannot set priority for enemies, which is unfortunate when you have a tower focusing on a straggler rather than a big group. While the towers look different – especially the fully-upgraded versions – they serve the same purposes. If that sounds familiar to series veterans – that’s because the essential formula has not changed. Meanwhile, Barracks soldiers can be repositioned to perfectly block the flow of enemies, opening them up to tower fire.
The first three deal varying damage at different ranges and speeds. Left Stick cycles through different plots of land, which can be turned into four types of towers: Archers, Mystics, Stone Circles, and Barracks. Aspects of the map can change over time, keeping you on your toes. Gone are the days of straight paths – now, they’re constantly interwoven, opening up new strategic possibilities – and new ways for enemies to skirt your defences and reach the goal you’re meant to defend. With multiple goals for enemies to scurry through, there’s a lot more ground to cover with your towers.įrom the very first levels, it’s apparent that we’re in for some more interesting terrain than previous entries. Interactive maps ensure that each stage feels distinct, and adventurous music doesn’t interfere or annoy (although sound effects might). That said, you get a small written briefing before each level that gives context, and most levels have elements of the plot woven into the cartoony art. Having played all three of these mobile games on both my phone and my Switch, I can safely say they are right at home on this console.Īs the title suggests, this is a prequel – but newbies shouldn’t fret, because the story isn’t what we come here for. There are minor differences, though – all welcome. Kingdom Rush Origins will feel extremely familiar to those who have played Kingdom Rush or Kingdom Rush Frontiers – and that’s not an insult.
