A Tower Defense Game That Is Oddly Sophisticated For A Mobile Game

The Kingdom Rush Origins game is what at first appears to be a low-tech tower defense game but unlike other mobile games of this ilk it allows you to activate functions such as lightening wherever you wish on the map and you may also create ground units in a real-time-strategy manner which adds yet more dimensions to what would otherwise be a flat by-the-numbers game.

Plenty Of Action And Lots Of Variety

Strategy games on mobile devices are typically poor because good strategy games require a massive amount of variables and probability functions in order to create a viable AI system that makes the game challenging. Kingdom Rush Origins cannot approach the sophistication of a PC game but it beats most mobile strategy games out of the water. The game is rather unique due to the fact that other strategy games have in-app purchases but this game doesn't which makes progression more organic and it makes the grind worth the work. The game may look too action packed and confusing when you watch others playing it but once you are used to how the enemies move and how they attack it suddenly starts to make an odd kind of sense.

Conclusion - A Paid Game That Is Worth The Money

Kingdom Rush Origins is worth playing because it takes a tower defense which is a simple premise and it adds layers and variety to the point where it become complex (for a mobile game). It also has a story that is worth following and the artwork is exciting without being overstated (as so many mobile games are). You are not blinded by flashes all the time and the game's difficultly curve is rounded and fair.
