An incredible remaster of the original game - and an absolute delight! I have tons of fun playing it and will quickly rack up playtime, just like on the 2nd installment! I bought this as soon as it came out and frankly, if you're a rogue-like/lite fan or one of the franchise - you should too!

10/10

Undoubtedly, one of the best roguelikes this year and of all time. It is very simplistic, yet it does an amazing job of being extremely fun, while simultaneously challenging. The graphics are perhaps the only drawback I can think of right off the bat, but getting used to them is child's play. Immense variety of characters, weapons, items, maps and more! Remarkably addicting. Very undervalued and perhaps underappreciated, whether the full price or on sale, definitely try it out!

The last of the big four! Both physically and chronologically. With a twist - now you are the villain to take over the land, the one whom you've been fighting the previous 3 games. A massive overhaul to the tower system - completely new towers and larger in number and variety! Incredible new and returning heroes (villains) make appearances. More expansive campaign than before. Different upgrade system. Other than that it has similar features as before, in terms of mechanics, references, humor, etc. The difficulty however is...lackluster. Doesn't really compare well to the previous titles, so here it really falls short. Some things also seem, too overbearing and out of place. If you really love the genre and the franchise, I highly encourage you to get in on sale though! It keeps getting updates, recently received yet another major update with a new hero, new stages, achievements, and enemies! Keep on rushing!

The third installment in the series, chronologically the first game in the story of Kingdom Rush. Same good tower system, with slight changes in the basic variants. In contrast to the previous 2 games, heroes now have an ultimate ability, which can be activated by the player! The "Impossible" difficulty makes an appearance, increasing replayability and thrill by a big margin. Incredibly fun and satisfying experience, perhaps not as difficult as the previous 2 games, but still challenging. Level design is kinda lacking here, but it makes up for it, with some very ferocious enemies and cool special towers! I would rather say, wait for a sale, but give it a try!

Direct and chronological continuation of the first game. Same good old classic format of 4 towers, each with 2 specialized upgrades. Much more content from before and recently received update after all those years, finally getting the gem shop (from the mobile versions) as well as "Endless mode". That's right! The replayability problem with the first game is now completely gone as with Endless mode you have 2 extra levels that you can keep playing on for increasing difficulty, isn't that exciting? Other than that, much more content. Hero system is reworked and made much more newbie-friendly. Amazing music and references as always. Very difficult!

Welcome to arguably the best tower defense franchise to ever exist. Kingdom Rush is a game, full of love, recently on its 10th year anniversary, receiving yet another update! Full of fantastically clever references to dozens of other media, games, movies, memes, etc. Challenging experience, with tons of content. Replayability is not its strong point or intention! Less is more - that's the direction and drive of this company, and I love it! At a certain point, you will have achieved everything, the only thing remaining is setting man-made challenges for yourself or picking up community ones. Full price or on sale - pick it up and start rushing!

We know why you're here. You're here to slaughter the armies of hell, the eternal demons, born from tortured human souls. Dive straight into the action an annihilate the hordes of evil with a wide arsenal of fantastic weaponry. Through the use of RPG elements, choose your playstyle and upgrade your battle capabilities and chances of survival. A very dynamic game with excellent movement and lots of freedom for how you approach your enemies. Can be quite challenging, so keep that in mind. Game is still receiving updates and honours, including seasonal events lasting up to 100 days, to earn cosmetic items that have been part of or are part of DLC's, which give you monthly challenges to play. Tons of collectibles and secrets. Dozen hours of gameplay! Buy on sale!

One of the most iconic Metroidvania and Platformer games ever made. Simple and welcoming mechanics. Easy to learn, hard to master fighting, controls and abilities. It has a charming art style and an extremely soul-touching and thrilling story. There're also multiple gamemodes and endings. The game is able to be modded, though that feature is outside of the Steam workshop. You have a lot of freedom when it comes to your playstyle. You get so much content for the price you're paying. One product and you get the whole game, including everything, expansions, extras etc. On sale it's about 7,50 euros. The only "downsides" I can think of, is if you're not too fond of lots of exploring, lapse of quest markers and directions, not many tips for enemies and/or bosses and overall a "harsh" environment. Otherwise, please give this game a chance and immerse yourself in this atmospheric masterpiece!

The better Cyberpunk game!
Quality content.
Amazing graphics.
Good character development.
Nice animations.
10/10 Would play with one hand again!

The epitome of AFK farming simulator. It has nice music and artwork. Some nice scenes hiding behind a patch found online. A couple of achievements for the full pack. The basic but nice backstory of the characters and for some - funny interactions between the protagonist and the girls. Requires patience or "patience" to get all achievements. Good luck!

Score - 8/10
