Kingdom Rush is a 2011 tower defense game developed by Ironhide Game Studio and published by Armor Games. In the game's medieval fantasy setting, players take control of a general serving under King Denas of Linirea, who must defend the land from an onslaught of evil monsters. Each level is composed of a number of pre-set roads, which the player can place defensive towers around to fight off the approaching monsters. Slaying enemies gives the player gold, which they can use to buy new towers or upgrade existing ones to improve their capabilities.
Runs well on modern hardware.

I hate this game. I hate how the cute little soldiers look at me with those big hopeful eyes right before they get absolutely demolished by a wave of orcs. I hate that I keep restarting the same level because “just one more try.” I hate that the heroes have actual personality and backstories and now I feel emotionally attached to a wizard in a pointy hat. I hate the sound the enemies make when they die. I hate that it’s so addictive I forgot to eat dinner. Twice. I especially hate that every time I say “I’m done, this is stupid” I immediately boot it back up and build another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ barracks. 10/10. Would suffer again.
the classic of the classics, a really good strategic TD that involves different aproach on different biomes. all the series are fun to play for multiple times. my all time favorite TD game
Not only the peak of nostalgia, but also the peak of tower defense games.
