Storyline

The player takes the role of a general serving King Denas of Linirea. After being dispatched to fight outlaws reported around the city of Southport, the general discovers that the outlaw gangs are actually orc legions serving the evil wizard Vez'nan. Learning that Vez'nan has invaded Linirea, the general returns to the capital city and defends it from the enemy army, proceeding into the nearby mountains with the objective of defeating the wizard. Arriving at the Stormcloud Temple, the resident sorcerers use a spell to teleport the king's army into the wasteland near Vez'nan's tower. The general fights through the wasteland and reaches the tower, defeating Vez'nan and returning home in celebration. In a post-credits scene, a hooded figure discovers and claims Vez'nan's discarded wizard's staff.

Gameplay

Kingdom Rush is a tower defense game set in a medieval fantasy setting. Levels are composed of a number of pre-set roads that enemies march across, and the player must defeat them before they reach the end of the path and drain lives to cause a game over. To prevent enemies from reaching the end, the player must purchase defensive towers at set points around the road to attack any incoming monsters. The player can choose between four types of towers to place: archers, mages, artillery, and barracks. Each tower type has its own distinct strengths, such as artillery being more effective against grouped monsters, archers better at targeting flying threats, and barracks training soldiers that attack in melee and slow down enemies. Slaying monsters gives the player gold, which they can use to buy more towers or upgrade existing ones. Each tower type can be improved three times before the player must choose between two final upgrades with their own distinct abilities. For example, the final upgrade for a mage tower could be either an "Arcane Wizard" that shoots magic beams and teleports monsters back down the road, or a "Sorcerer" that summons a defensive earth elemental and weakens enemy armor. In addition to towers, the player can fight the monsters with two abilities that can be deployed anywhere in the level, and take time to recharge before they can be reused: a powerful meteor spell that deals damage in an area, and a reinforcement ability that summons soldiers to block and distract enemies. Furthermore, the player is also given control of a single hero unit, which is more powerful than typical soldiers, can be moved move freely around the level, and features its own distinct abilities. Completing levels in Kingdom Rush allows the player to unlock new hero options and earn a currency called "stars", which can be spent in exchange for permanent upgrades for towers and defenses. Additional stars can be earned through special challenges on already completed levels, which feature more difficult enemy placements and fewer resources.
