Reviews for Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD

I was a big fan of the original games in the series so I was pretty pumped when I saw this. Initially it seemed like a great continuation of the series. The art was up a notch, gameplay was fun. But OMG the microtransactions are insane. Plan on spending $70+ to unlock all the content (eg towers) in the game, and that's before the consumable purchases that the game puts in an obnoxious, easily tapped part of the UI during levels

The game felt quite short. For $7, I didn't get any heroes or towers for free except for a very limited selection. It doesn't have the same feel as previous titles, and it seems like they aren't putting the same effort into the games anymore. Microtransactions have gotten worse, charging for additional towers. I'm worried this franchise isn't what it used to be. I purchased and completed the entire game, but it felt very incomplete for $7.

It's just not long enough. You can beat it in a couple hours max. On top of that, it's just the same game as all the others. If you want to use most of the towers and heroes expect to pay 50+ dollars. I hope they add more content, tweak, etc cause it is a good game currently, and a must play if you like the series, but overall not a great buy at the moment.

Probably least favorite in the series. It's crazy how the longer this game is out, the worse the games get. They decided to go with only 5 tower choices again, which I hate. In this game you get two heros, but also the levels have two paths, which were always my least favorite maps. Plus, even though you paid for the game, they keep trying to shove ads to pay for heros in you face way too often. This will probably be the last kingdoms rush game I buy. First two were great, third good. Last

My only concern is the save system. The game cloud saves and seems to be bad at it, as I have had issues where I complete a stage and then buy some upgrades, then close the game. When I come back, some of my progress is lost. Please fix this! Edit: the bug has gotten worse and I literally can't even play now. Every time I quit and come back all my pregression from my last play session is gone. I love this game but I can't play it so I guess one star until this is fixed.

I am a fan of all the kingdom rush saga, played all the 5 of them and other versions of it. This one, unlike others needs to be purchased. I paid the 10$ thinking it would be bigger, longer and greater than the others. All wrong. Yes, it has really good points resembling the others, but I totally recommend you to NOT BUY IT, just download kingdom rush origins, or the first one. They had longer campaign and infinite mode waves (this one does not have it, and it's not free!).

Diehard fan of the original Kingdom Rush & Frontiers. I've been playing and replaying for years. However, franchise has gone significantly downhill. Hard to put your finger on it, but graphically the game has gotten "busy". There's way too many towers now, too much in game purchases. It's nowhere as fun as the original games. I don't recommend it. It would be nice if the developers created expansion packs for the original games or allowed level creation with enemies that you could share.

Just one thing: the button to call waves early has to be tapped several times before it will work, it's frustrating. Er, also, I kind of wish there was an actual reward for beating a level at 3 stars, you're only rewarded with points if you pass at all, but if you replay & get more/3 stars you just earn gems which is the same reward for playing/replaying any level. Just bugs me. Other than that this was a really nice trip down memory lane, I really hope there will be more soon-still the best TD.

This series is one of the only games on my phone, I replay them frequently. On a side note, I've hit the restart button thousands of times, not getting any crystals at all despite rnd is rude xd. This game feels like if I gave the other games to an AI & asked for something new. I frequently hear repurposed voices, often at a different pitch. The levels are smaller & icons bigger. I preferred the graphics of Frontiers, the new style looks like a cheap gacha.

I had a lot of fun playing through this game! Beat the story had a good difficulty level and really improved on the game play by a lot! But what really bummed me out was how little you get if you don't spend any money. You get 4 heroes for free, but since you use two at a time and get two of them in the very beginning, it feels like you only unlock two. You get a decent amount of towers, but there were still a lot locked. And the worst part is if you want everything it costs 35 dollars!
