I found that even on normal difficulty I couldn’t simply breeze through levels using my default ‘hotbox’ strategy (box up the monsters in a small area with slows and soldiers, then lather them in area-of-effect damage). On harder difficulty settings real thought is needed to ensure that you will have the right sorts of damage, at the right time, and in the right combinations. More than this, though, Kingdom Rush: Origins’ variety of enemies, and the number of pointy (or pointy and magical) things you can shove up said enemies’ backsides, is rich enough to create an elaborate system of counters and balances. It really is good: it’s not just that it adds in things like heroes and melee units to direct about the place with judicious tapping, it’s that it uses these and other more familiar tower defense elements to create a system that responds with amazing precision to the player’s decisions. It is almost as awesome as being somebody who throws houses into pits of fire for a living. It is more solid than the biceps of somebody who throws houses into pits of fire for a living. As a hardcore player (or at least, reviewing this for the benefit of hardcore players) if the gameplay were a stinker I’d be a lot less delighted about the time lavished on the art assets. This attention to detail isn’t just lavished on the game’s surface, though. It’s just gorgeous, and I wanted to give those little wee dwarves a hug.
I think one of the moments I realized how far this game stood out above its competitors was when, in one of the early levels, occasional objects would come floating down the river in the middle of the map – and when I tapped them I would be rewarded with a cutesy little animation, and even an achievement when I stopped enough dwarves going over the waterfall in their little barrels. The art for this game is about as lovely as you could hope to see packed into the 7-10 inches of a tablet screen while it’s not perhaps as conceptually rich or provoking as something you’d spend hours ogling in the Louvre, it’s still tremendously handsome, and every map and environment is awash with lovely details.

For someone coming afresh to the series (curse you, wizard! And your greasy peasants!) I can really appreciate why this game has such a following among casual and hardcore players alike. It may be very similar to the previous Kingdom Rush games (having compared notes with some rather dedicated fans of the first two games on YouTube I can safely say that it does appear very, very similar), but this doesn’t change the fact that its brand of tower defense is one that works. Well, perhaps they can, because the latest game in the series, Kingdom Rush Origins, is actually pretty great.

I must say that up until this week I wasn’t too bothered about this: ‘Pshaw,’ I thought, straining at the bonds of my ethereal prison, ‘surely no game so popular can actually be good? Surely the greasy peasants (thinks I, as the wizard’s greasy peasants prodded me with their pitchforks) that normally buy every Android game on earth and award it 5 stars on Google Play just for failing to transfer all their money to an account in the Cayman Islands, or for not laying its eggs in their heads and letting its insectoid young devour them from within, can’t actually be right about anything, can they?’ Because I was abducted by a wizard riding a griffin and imprisoned in a magical cave for the last five years, I didn’t play the first two Kingdom Rush games (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it, dammit!).
