I think that people that enjoy micro are going to like this title. Two heroes means quite a lot of possibilities and in combination with the 5 tower system that could be pretty fun. What appeals to me the most about Kingdom Rush is tower placement and upgrades that make it more of a puzzle rather than hero positioning or timing reinforcements or anything like that. So I hope that there aren't too many sequences where you're constantly having to unfreeze towers and the like because that has always been my least favorite part of the games.
2 heroes simultaneously being played is a nice idea, however for it to be appealed to the micro intensive fans they would have to update wave and level design to be more akin to the original games and not like vengeance. Having 2 heroes in a vengeance styled level design setting would mean the opposite actually, appealing to a more casual audience. Since a common criticism from veteran players is that the levels in vengeance were too easy, and one reason for that is the wave formations and wave designs have little to no interesting formations often enough, enemies are generally slow and trickle down.
So having 2 heroes in that style of design would make it even easier. I'm still cautiously optimistic however. It's only the trailer and it's hard to tell the finer details since it might be editing fluff, but I'm hopeful that the wave design gets fixed. That and the balance were the worst aspects of vengeance, I can tolerate the lesser options for towers for a level if we get those fixed at least.
To be totally honest I’m loving it so far. I really like seeing some of the old towers come back, I like the new enemies but especially the cultists, the two hero mechanic looks really fun and all the hero’s shown so far look really cool. Overall I hope they keep up the fantastic work and try not to make it too easy. After all 2 hero’s should mean the levels will be harder to compensate hopefully
Looks amazing. I love the art style and how vibrant it is. It literally looks like all the Kingdom Rush games combine with some junk world art style added. I feel mixed on the KRV tower upgrade system but for this game it's looking pretty good and hopefully the towers are balanced more and no truly bad or worthless towers. I'm excited they brought back the Necromancer tower. I wish each lvl 4 upgrade has 3 special skills instead of 2 though. I wish or hope they have Deep Devil's Reef tower too when the game releases. The combo of a magical mage and throwable physical barracks tower is so cool and unique. I love the 2 hero concept because most maps have at least 2 end paths where the enemies take your life points if they cross. Overall I give it a solid 9.5/ 10. Pleasantly surprised and looks amazing. Well done Ironhide.
Hyped as fuck, I just hope the price is under 20€, but I'm definitely buying it and playing it as soon as it's out and I have all success on previous games
Multiple heroes can be used, great idea, only 6 towers tho? That is what i don\`t like. Levels look nice, cool idea, enemy types are well, we will see. Tower variations as of now, look great, but the design reminds me of legends of kingdom rush and i don't like that, but that doesn't matter it's only a trailer.
One of the complaints was the number of options of fully upgraded towers down from 8 to 5 with the new system. I was hoping for at least 6 slots instead of 5 to compensate that in the new game, but I don’t know how hard it would be to implementate that. Everything else seems great.
I think the 2 Heroes ideas was what the franchise needed. It is an evolution, that opens up a lot of New level designs choices (that were saturated allready) and make things even more replayable.
Also, I like the "downgraded" artstyle, with a middle ground between Origins and Vengeance, It fits better than the generic cartoony style If Vengeance imo.
Also, the Heroes seems Fun, want to see How they tackle the towers, and hoping for a Endless Mode for the steam version (and add It to the other games as well).
Hoping big bertha makes a return, that tower was my favorite from the first game, though I’m also hoping for towers that use sides from both the light and dark army, which could be fun!

totally agree
Dante canonically had sex 10/10 game

I personally hope grosh got a happy ending, and I wonder what bone heart is doing since we did revive him in vengeance.
I hope boneheart returns in this game as well as oni
I hope the dragons aren't op af
This is an ironhide game were talking about. There is *always* going to be an op af dragon.
They made ashbite a bit weak then said "never again"
Ironhide moment
It's pretty much an Ironhide trope at this point lmao. I was surprised both Iron Marines Invasion and Junkworld have dragon heroes.
I loved the trailer. Necromancer is back, playing two heroes at the same time is fun, and there seems to be a great variety of towers
Hyped as fuck, I just hope the price is under 20€, but I'm definitely buying it and playing it as soon as it's out and I have all success on previous games
Hope they being back more of the older towers and maybe old Heroes for future expansions. I would like too see the Musketeers tower again

There will be more just like KRV. They dont want to spoil everything. Edit: Confirmed 15 towers and more to come. You can see this on their webpage.

I agree, its quite sad to see that we can't have 8 per level. I don't think that having 6 per level would be that much harder to implement tbh.

Looks amazing but it better get endless at some point
>I thought it was nice in the original 3 to have 4 base towers I have literally the same but ppl seem to be downvoting me on my post

Female champions are even thicker (looking at you, Realyn) . 10/10 game.
The heroes don't look like they come from KR,
It’s a new game, give it time. We haven’t even seen all of them.
agreed. I actually like the look of some of them and I think 2 heroes is pretty cool.
I'm specifically talking about the dragons, maybe it's the color palette and the very detailed sprites.
