Touch to place towers

Kingdom Rush is a great tower defence game with a strong story and great towers. It has 12 (not enough really, come on Ironhide we need more!) great levels in the main storyline that increase in difficulty and can take up to thirty minutes at a time for the later levels (just enough time to complete a level in lunch breakes!) There are also five extreme difficulty levels once you have completed the main storyline and you are, activate fanfare... the Defender of the Realm!!! On the main campaign levels, there are also three difficulties (easy, medium and hard, of course) along with two extra special challenges, Heroic and Iron. Beat these and your boring completion flag becomes silver and gets wings! The storyline follows the idea that the capital has fallen and the realm is threatened by the evil wizard Vezan, dum, dum, dum!!! There are three areas: grass, snow and underworld and three bosses: The Juggernaut, J.T, and Vezan!
Other things that you can do is get heroes, three for free and six for real money Also you can upgrade the towers and your powers, meteor strike and recruitment.
