Who left your staff?? – Kingdom Rush Origins TD Review

Yeah, KingdomRush and KingdomRush Frontiers are much better than KingdomRush Origins, but I appreciate the effort to bring us another TD game. The balance was off. You need to start us off with more money, and keep the money coming at a faster clip. The level would be over before you could earn enough money to get all the towers added and upgraded properly. Maybe if I’d had 5-10 more rounds in each level I could have seen what all the special abilities did. And, really, I never found a use for the mage tower. It’s a waste in Origins. It’s laughable. And, I mean it really makes me lol. That is definitely NOT the case in the other 2 games in this series. Their mage towers command respect. And, all the transporting around/trail hopping that the enemies do in Origins — gimmicky, confusing, and made the game seem disjointed. There’s a lack of good tower positions at the end of trails where you need barracks for blocking. And, frustrating to have trails with 2, 3 or more exit routes but still only one hero. You need to work on the script, too. The dialogue or speaking parts are much better in the first 2 KingdomRushes. They are funny and cute. What the tower guys say in Origins is annoying and even embarrassing. “Lets Rock. And Roll.” Really? lol. That’s the best you could think of? Rofl. No comparison to what the guys are saying in KingdomRush: “Here’s to the King, baby” “Fully loaded” “Time for blood” “Be quick or be dead”...among others. Some of your better moments are the axe throwing barbarians in KingdomRush and necromancer towers & heroes like Ashbite in Frontiers. ...wish there would have been some in Origins! Who left your staff after the first 2 great KingdomRushes and before Origins? Idk, but get them back!! I have played the first 2 games in this series for many years, ever since they came out (starting on desktop). And I will continue to play them, because Origins just comes up short. I never tire of playing the first 2 over and over and over, but I probably won’t even try to finish Origins.
