Critic Reviews
- Kingdom Rush Origins does a lot right, but it’s also got one major flaw that sours the experience. The gameplay is really slow overall; there are frequent moments where you’ll just be staring at the screen for extended periods of time, waiting for the enemies to waddle their way across the screen. It’s only until you get to the later waves of enemies that the flow of gameplay starts to pick up a bit.
Ollie Reynolds · Sep 17, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - This one's for fans of the game already, which may be why $6.99 character IAP in a paid game is available, because people care enough to shell out for it. I guess I can't really fault that, even if I'm not entirely comfortable with it.
Carter Dotson · Dec 19, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Even if Origins doesn’t dramatically advance the series gameplay, I had a great time once again holding off the monstrous hordes. I’m hopeful to see Ironhide stretch its talented creative muscles a little more within the bounds of its tower defense expertise, but for the time being, Origins continues a successful structure without any stumbles.
Matt Miller · Dec 09, 2014 Reviewed on iOS - Kingdom Rush Origins is an elegant, fun to play strategy game, which provides a great formula for lovers of the series and tower defense games in general. It doesn’t provide much variation from the previous two games in the series, which could lower its appeal for those who have already played. That said, visuals and animations are definitely at the next level.
Jayne Deacon · Dec 01, 2014 Reviewed on iOS, And - Kingdom Rush: Origins is a premium priced game with in-app purchases used towards unlocking heroes. Although heroes will be unlocked throughout the course of the game, you will definitely reap the defensive benefits from the stronger heroes. Kingdom Rush: Origins does not disappoint and has evolved the series significantly.
Andy Carr · Nov 24, 2014 Reviewed on - While they may not have done anything earth-shaking with Origins (the tree-people’s earth-shaking tower upgrade not withstanding), Ironhide Game Studio have done a fantastic job delivering fans of Kingdom Rush exactly what they wanted: more. With minor improvements, better map design, and a wonderful aesthetic, Kingdom Rush Origins is the best entry in the series yet.
Jim Squires · Nov 21, 2014 Reviewed onRead full review - Kingdom Rush Origins is still a very fun tower defense title, even if it's no different from the last game. Or the one before that. It's devoid of innovation, but it's still one tower defense adventure that does what it sets out to do correctly. And in this day and age, that's asking a lot, apparently.
Brittany Vincent · Nov 20, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Ultimately, Kingdom Rush Origins is a credit to the tower defense genre and greatly builds upon the success of the series. The maps are excellently designed, the enemies are incredibly varied, and it’s packed full of cool heroes. While the towers don’t quite live up to those that have come before them, they’re still fairly innovative. The only downside lies in the controls, with their oversensitivity hampering the ease of erecting towers.
James Birks · Jun 10, 2023 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Although nearly identical to its predecessors, Kingdom Rush Origins stands out from the competition. This prequel proves its worth, with some smart changes, an undeniable charm, and a lasting shelf life as a go-to tower defense boredom buster.
Anna Karasik · Oct 15, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Kingdom Rush: Origins languishes in the shadows of its predecessors, and it doesn't do enough to try to break away from what has come before. Minor graphical and story changes keep this entry firmly behind Kingdom Rush: Frontiers, but it isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, unenjoyable. In fact, Kingdom Rush: Origins is a superb game, but there is nothing new except heroes that are more expensive than they really should be.
