A turn-based RPG with roguelike elements, a spin-off of the Kingdom Rush series. In Legends of Kingdom Rush we take control of heroes and villains who join forces to face a threat from another world.
Legends of Kingdom Rush is an RPG with roguelike elements, which is a spin-off of Kingdom Rush series launched in 2011. It was developed by Ironhide Game Studio team, which takes care of the brand.
Legends of Kingdom Rush takes us on a journey to a fantastic universe. The world, which was overrun by the Army of Darkness, faced an even greater threat. The servants of the Dark Lord and heroes who have so far defended the kingdom against them stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight against the new danger.
In Legends of Kingdom Rush we observe the action from a top-down view. We move through the world, walking through dense forests, dark wastelands and snowy mountain peaks, we participate in story-driven events that push the story forward (during which we have to make simple decisions), and most of all - we take part in battles. Skirmishes take place in turn-based mode, on arenas covered by a grid of hexagonal fields, and during them the key to success is proper positioning of characters and skillful use of their abilities.
In the game, we control one of six heroes: a holy paladin, a deadly assassin, an evil demon, a voodoo witch, a ranger and an elven avenger. As even the most powerful warrior can't do much in a clash with evil hordes, we have to choose their companions. Among 12 characters with different skills and fighting style we can find a sorceress, a dark knight, a barbarian, a dwarven bombardier or even a sasquatch. As we progress we expand the range of available subordinates.
In addition to the story campaign, in Legends of Kingdom Rush we can find daily challenges (with online rankings, which are a substitute for online competition), as well as a special Quick Play Arena mode, in which we receive a randomly generated team and face various challenges.
Graphics in Legends of Kingdom Rush is in colorful, cartoonish style known from other games from this series.

Capsule Computers: 5.5 / 10 by Jamie Laike Tsui
An unbalanced disappointment best left to die hard fans of the Kingdom Rush franchise.

Legends of Kingdom Rush is a lot of fun, but its port to PC is a bit underwhelming. Lack of controller support for such a mechanically simple game is pretty lazy. There’s no new content, either, so players coming from the mobile version will have seen everything already. With such enjoyable gameplay and sense of style, Legends of Kingdom Rush deserves a more thorough makeover for PC and consoles, not just a basic port.

Legends of Kingdom Rush is a pretty great pick up and play turn-based RPG. It certainly suits the phrase of easy to pick up but tricky to master. Even though failure came frequently, I had a lot of fun replaying missions and altering my tactics and making different decisions on the next attempt. I didn’t feel there was anything groundbreaking about the formula here but all the cogs and gears to the mechanics just worked well. If you’re not the biggest fan of tower defense games then this might be the title that gets you into the series. Or if you’re new to the series this is not a bad place to start. Legends of Kingdom Rush is possibly the most legendary entry in the series. If you want to try the game for yourself be sure to check out the free demo on Steam.
