Kingdom Rush
About
Kingdom Rush is a tower defense game, the first installment in Kingdom Rush series. The game was initially released as a flash game by Armor Games but later received ports for iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Kingdom Rush shares many similarities with other tower-defense games. On each level, you have to defeat your town from waves of enemies crawling across the map.
To do so, you place towers which automatically attack enemies that get in their range of attack. There four types of towers in Kingdom Rush: Ranged Towers, Melee Towers, Mage Towers, and Artillery Towers. Ranged Towers shoot arrows at any enemy that gets in their sight. Melee Towers spawn troops that march towards enemies and engage in close combat. Mage Towers fire magic bolt that is especially effective against armored enemies. Artillery Towers are the slowest and the most expensive ones, but they deal much damage and can hit several enemies with one shot. Aside from placing towers, a player can use special abilities such as meteor strikes that directly damage any emeries on the map.
There are 12 levels in the primary campaign and several extra levels that can be unlocked after beating the game. Additionally, there is an Endless mode with one map that lets player stand against infinite waves of enemies for as long as they can.

Kingdom Rush reviews and comments
That said, the core game play is pretty monotonous given that there's nothing that deviates from the typical tower defense game structure, plus at its core there's not much to do other than build towers in a handful of patterns that you will probably master about halfway through the games. Difficulty is more about quick precision and the order in which the optimal sets of towers are bought rather than any complex strategy, which makes the gameplay feel a little shallow.
I'd recommend it to anyone who isn't adverse to the tower game format and wants a quick and free flash game to pass the time.
