Mistake
I see I just made a mistake and bought this. I had such a good time on Apple Arcade I thought I’d buy an older one to learn more about the lore. You dare ask for 7 dollars for heroes are you kidding me? My Apple Arcade subscription is what 15-20 bucks and a have three of your games completely unlocked. It seems all the merchants have lost their minds with this cash grabbing like it’s disappearing. Surprise ending let go of your greed OR IT WILL CONSUME YOU AND ALL YOU HOLD DEAR! This is a truth you can not horde or hide from. He that can hear let him hear.

Unbalanced, Doesn’t respect your time
The game isn’t so bad as to only warrant one star, but it also doesn’t deserve the 4.9 rating it has in the app store, and needs to be offset. The biggest issue is the terrible balancing. The game devs obviously wanted to make it harder than previous titles, but they use a variety of cheap and unfair tactics to accomplish that, and obviously wanted to incentivise people to pay for the myriad of pay-to-win feature built in, which is just disrespectful and dishonest. You could possibly win each location without paying, but the amount of time you’d have to spend grinding to make sure you have just the right hero levelled up enough to have the powers needed, as well as purchasing all the bonuses you need from the in-game store, is just not respectful of our time as players. This is a phone app game. I’m not trying to spend my entire life playing it, or even hours at a time. Stop trying to be a console or PC game, unless you’re going to actually BE that.

Nerfed blackwater endless
The blackwater endless map has been nerfed. Why nerf something this old. The map used to be fun and still challenging enough and good way to earn store credits to keep me interested. Now the difficulty is ridiculous after just 10 waves.
★★★★★positivetom hankins · 2026-02-11 · v6.4.22
Game
Every single time I close the game it fully resets the level I’m on so if you have a life and actually do stuff with your time then get ready to be penetrated in your azz because they can’t figure out how to save your progress. Whole bunch of brain dead monkey developers

Great game
Easy to play and still fun great game
★★★★★positivetheurgicflame61 · 2026-01-12 · v6.4.20
Amazing game! One complaint
This game is phenomenal. I have played for a long time and I have always appreciated the detail and effort. The only complaint I have is that the kingdom rush series no longer has endless levels. The campaigns are great, but after they're completed, you don't typically go and play the same levels over and over again and that's what the endless runs are for continuously trying to get on the leaderboard as a part of the fun that the kingdom Rush series offers, but they haven't been making the same levels. We need to bring back endless mode.

My rating
This is a fun and challenging game and I enjoy it but I think they could add more like troops and stuff.

Read
I never write reviews for games on the App Store. But I grew up playing this series and it is by far my favorite mobile game of all time. Not specifically origins but the entire series. Please give it a chance if you have time. Much love to the developers
★★★★★positiveFrostFyre7 · 2025-07-07 · v6.1.25
10/10
This is my all time favorite Mobil game (kingdom rush in general). I love the strategy of the game and the heroes. The tower variants make the game super interesting. The fact that it goes deep into the fantasy world is awesome.

Ads in game freeze and are unresponsive
Good game but any ads just freeze and force you to quit the game and restart.
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingBricked_up_Ice · 2025-07-03 · v6.1.25
Best in the series.
All heroes are good. The worst hero isn’t even bad and can be used extremely well if played right. All towers are visually uniqe unlike any other towers in the entire franchise. The art is simple and down right beautiful. Whether you’re a beginner or master to strategy games, this game has a challenge for you. Beautiful game. Beautiful series. I’d pay 3x its original price for it.

Wonderful Game
Fun, addictive and great gameplay and music while also being cute and ostrategic but not too childish 👌

Worth Reviewing SO GOOD!!!
Played this years ago & rediscovered again recently. Hands down best tower defense game!

Visuals are a definite improvement, some of the towers and strategies are a bit old but still fun
★★★★★positiveHerbeesh1975 · 2025-03-25 · v6.1.25
Not as hard as purported 🙅‍♂️
Reading some of the negative reviews📱made me reluctant on buying this one but I am glad I did anyways. It isn’t as difficult as other reviewers have wrote and I didn’t buy any power ups. In fact, maybe because this is my third game, but it was easier after getting used to new options and I didn’t even look for online tips like I have a few times for previous installments. There are easter eggs such as red sacks and trees along paths that slow down enemies when pressed on. However, I will admit that the 🧙‍♂️free magic power ups 🪄 aren’t as obvious on what they do like in the other games ( the nuclear ☢️bomb was a no-brainer).

Please learn what CASUAL means.
It doesnt mean to pull your hair out in frustration, fail over and over, and quit because its impossible. A waste of money.
★★★★★positiveTtoommer · 2025-01-21 · v6.1.25
Now what
Happy to have paid for this game. I finished the Crystal sea map with 3 stars (normal mode) except for one spot. Is there a second map? Or is that the end of the game? (I know there is a harder mode). But are there no other maps with this one game?
★★★★★positiveBlzrns · 2025-01-14 · v6.1.25
Very Fun
Simple formula. Ironhide games are fun and challenging if that’s what you’re looking for.
★★★★★positiveJason Laikam · 2024-10-31 · v6.1.25

Easiest of the franchise. Not sure why. The first and second are a lot more fun and challenging

a good 3rd game in this series
i like that there is new content in this game its cool that the meteors were replaced by lightning bolts and that each hero has a special ability it makes sense that the artillery’s bombs were replaced with boulders because this takes place in a magic world of sorts because of the background
★★★★positiveBeans of coolness · 2024-06-07 · v6.1.25
Great Series, Some Bugs
I really enjoy this series! Devs, PLEASE fix the barracks to actually block troops. It feels like a 50/50 if an enemy will be stopped or just walk right past them.
