Kingdom Rush Legend is a different game than what you might be expecting.
Not only this is not a real-time strategy game, this is not like other strategy game.
Other strategy game would have many stages and makes you grind a lot.

This game, your EXP don't accumulate it restart to 0 every time you start a new region.
However you do accumulate rank for each character to unlock more skill.

Inside the region you'll have many path and mini stages.
Think about Slay the Spire and having Act 1, 2 ,3... except that this is not a card game.
You end up paying attention to the detail of each ability because it make a big changes in the game.

Tips:
1. On the map screen you can use items
2. If you have icon and you don't know what they
a) go to the battle map
b) click on yourself at the top menu
c) click on that icon you don't know
d) you can see the description.
3. Press e twice to end a turn
4. Press q to toggle health
5. Click on the top menu bar to find which enemy and where they are on the map.
6. Press A and D to move left and right
7. Calculate the distance and move back so that the enemy is at a disadvantage to attack.


This can be a fun game but I found it a little hard.
I guess I need to spend more time on it.

Game too short
