Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD

It's the weakest game in the Kingdom Rush series but it's still worth playing. The upgrade trees are not categorised as well as before and I find using two heroes at a time unappealing.

Very aesthetically pleasing game, very well put together and fine tuned. The experience and excellence from previous titles is ... excellent :) At the same time the title suffers from quite unbelievable amateur-level UI design flaws such as hiding the button to quit the game (yes really) and or deliberately reverting the quit yes / no buttons... My guess would be that the artist doing graphics is a genius, devs are close to ingenuity, but they all have kind of a bit child-like manager, who insists on hiding the quit button because he thinks it will earn them more... =) But no, you will only piss a lot of people and earn less. There is time to let the children play and there is time to grow up.

4/5 from me. If you like the other games, this one is good but maybe not as good. 25 stages playable without the DLC for a bit over 10 hours on Veteran difficulty going for all 3 stars. 15 stages locked behind DLC that is pretty in-your-face as they show you the DLC heroes/towers/campaigns in game before you have purchased them. Previous games rewarded you with upgrade points for doing the 4th and 5th star challenges. That is not the case for this game, and I think that is a move in the wrong direction.
