The main campaign offers two difficulty settings, though even in the casual setting don’t expect a total cakewalk. The game is not afraid to poke at the odd joke during battle and I have to say it suits the tone quite well. There were plenty of moments where I almost felt I could just reach my hand out and touch where I wanted my team to go on my computer screen. It does have that mobile feel to the game’s UI. Graphics have that comical feel to them from the heroes to the enemies all wrapped up in a familiar fantasy setting. You just had to make that line with spiders in the room Comical Style But your characters will accumulate some experience points making them potentially stronger when you take on the game for a second time.

Each has their own set of moves and abilities, as well as specific strengths and weaknesses in the field. You have a band of plucky heroes beginning the game with a warrior, mage and archer. But how you go about doing that is up to you. The goal is simply to eliminate all of the enemies in the area. The battle system is set on a hex based grid. Take a chance with the dice, use an item or take a hit To Battle The main event of the campaign of course is the turn-based battles.

These party members and additional main heroes can be unlocked to use in future runs to form your ultimate fantasy team. You may bump into a new ally to recruit to your party. You will also stop at shops to upgrade your wares and purchase items. These random events are generally fun but sometimes you have a run and the odds are just not in your favour and it can come across as just a bit too punishing. Certain characters in your party may be better equipped at sceneries than others, giving you an extra dice roll to improve your chances.

When you begin the game you are introduced to the game’s controls and mechanics through a handy opening chapter. If you like your turn based RPGs more bite-sized with plenty of incentive to replay then Legends of Kingdom Rush is well worth your attention.

I’ll be honest I have never got into this series before which is surprising as I soon discovered there are four other games available on PC, Nintendo Switch and mobile. Legends of Kingdom Rush is a turn-based RPG which takes the Kingdom Rush series in a totally different direction from its more familiar tower defence design.
