Kingdom Rush

Kingdom Rush's extraordinarily high level of difficulty outweighs most of the positives in an otherwise good (if standard) tower defense title. Beating a level has less to do with what strategy to choose and more to do with how many upgrades you've earned by going back and playing older missions on higher difficulties, meaning most levels are simply unbeatable without having cleared as many missions as possible on the highest difficulty. And even then the game is murderously hard. This is the only game I've ever played where I've gotten to a point where the difficulty prohibits me from progressing any further--and that was only half-way through the campaign.

Disclaimer: This is a review of the original Flash version. Proper positioning of towers play a big role, but not as big as your dexterity with the mouse in later levels, both for making split-second upgrading decisions and deploying reinforcements to hold off the enemy army, effectively replacing strategy with twitchiness.

This could have been one of the greatest TD titles of all time. Excellent balance, fun graphics, a good sense of progression... so why do I hate it so much? 1. You can't jump back to a previous wave. 2. No options to increase mob speed. You will have to sit and watch every painfully slow enemy make its way to the end of the path every single time you play a level. And you will be replaying these levels often, because when you lose (or, if you're going for a perfect score, if you let even one mob by) you'll have to start it all over again. This can become especially frustrating when the final enemy is a boss that can require several attempts to take down. A TD game without a speed option or a rewind option is a complete waste of your time.

Garbage who can click faster bs, if I wanted a clicky mc click game I'd go play any of the FPS games out there. Click this tower a hundred times to unlock! woops you clicked one too many and solid it ruining the match! Great play mechanic idiots.
