Only thing I would have to say is most of the towers and heroes are practically useless throughout a good majority of the game. They are either too weak to do anything unless fully leveled up or are their attack rates are too slow. Being slow and weak to do anything unless upgraded to a lvl4 tower isn't very optimal. Same for the heroes, they just can't hold up in the higher levels unless they are fully upgraded to lvl 10, which is only feasible if you grind in heroic and iron challenges for several hours. I would like to have my hero gain two or three levels by playing 3 or 4 maps not 1 and a half lvls after playing 3 maps and hardly getting any stronger. Spending so much time in a game to upgrade your tower for it to only be restricted or taken away by a map or boss effect permanently is kind of lame too. So much effort to upgrade your towers just to have it taken away is a real kick in the balls. Bosses other than having that negative draw back are challenging and retain your focus when they spawn in making it critical to deal as much damage to them as possible without wasting any time. Graphics are good too and the continued movie references on the maps are a fun little trait I've loved about the KR franchise for several years. However it is a shame that you're only buying essentially 5/9s of a game and the rest is included in future DLC releases. Always about the cash grab it seems like.
Yes it's good. It's still a fun game. I don't like the pricing change. You used to buy the game and the extra levels just came out for free when they came out. Now they're pay-for DLCs.
Its great to have the iconic characters back but, this is just weird with the changes, Its super annoying to have towers disappear. You have to work on improvements on rewarding players when a situation occurs, it isn't great to play losing your stuff, perhaps losing your towers but then something mini game to return it back with skills sort of? Its just feels stressful and not fun to play.
