Hardcore Droid: "The gameplay is rock solid. It is more solid than the biceps of somebody who throws houses into pits of fire for a living. It is almost as awesome as being somebody who throws houses into pits of fire for a living. It really is good: it’s not just that it adds in things like heroes and melee units to direct about the place with judicious tapping, it’s that it uses these and other more familiar tower defense elements to create a system that responds with amazing precision to the player’s decisions."
Fin writes: "Following Kingdom Rush and Kingdom Rush Frontiers, Kingdom Rush Origins offers up even more of that tower defence goodness on Xbox consoles."
Strategy games have always appealed to those of us who crave a tactical challenge. There are quite a few gems on Google Play hidden between the masses of mediocrity. But how to find the most hardcore Android strategy games? Rather than spend hours sifting through all the strategy titles Android has on offer, simply scan our list of the most hardcore strategy games on Android.
Kingdom Rush Origins is yet another entry into the vast but niche tower defense sub-genre of strategy games. Contrary to the name, Origins is actually the third entry to the Kingdom Rush series. I have not played the previous entries so I cannot compare it to its prequels (well, sequels in a timeline sense), but I do know a thing or two about tower defense after all. As this is an origin story, Origins will explain how the main villain of the last two entries, Vez’nan, became corrupt with power. Malicia, Queen of the Twilight Elves, takes the role of villainess for this story.
I have to say that I was somewhat surprised to read that the game is very good, then again, I had no high expectations for this title.
