Review
I very rarely play games on mobile, nothing wrong about it but I just rarely play them more use my phone for watching TikTok or responding to emails and stuff but now and again I get games through to review on mobile platforms and I always like to give games ago before I comment. Kingdom Rush 5 Alliance is the latest in the series of the tower defense game which is available on mobile platforms and PC and from the outset I felt that this game was perfectly adapted for the mobile platform and it made sense to play it on my phone. For me tower defence games are perfect for mobile gaming as it's pretty easy to jump in and jump out of games which makes it perfect for this platform.
Tower defense games always seem pretty straight forward from the outset but you soon realise it's not just a case of throwing defenses down and see what happens you'll quickly become over run by the on coming horde it's all a case of being smart about what you put where this will give you the best opportunity at winning.
In Kingdom Rush 5 Alliance the controls are pretty straight forward and if you've played a tower defense game before then you'll be quite at home pretty quickly. The over the top characters are pretty well structured and well suited to the gameplay as you go up against an increasingly difficult enemy, I liked how the enemy isn't overly difficult to overcome and the game allows you to get used to what you're doing before it hits you with the big guns and by the time it does you're pretty much into the game and can prepare well in advance.
The game is a single player title with a deep campaign mode which is perfect for a long trip or a rainy afternoon on the sofa you can easily set up and play wherever you like it really is easily accessible and perfect for pick up and put down gameplay.
Graphics and Sound
In terms of graphics the developers have gone for a realistic cartoon style and it really works well with the overall feeling of the game, as a mobile title I was pretty impressed at how good it actually looks with no glitching that I could see. The game levels are really well constructed and feel authentic as you play through them and none of them have a similar feel which is good as it keeps the game fresh.
The soundtrack of the game is punchy and really works with the style of the game, in game the sound effects are authentic and add more depth to the overall game play.
Summary
Time now then for me to put my thoughts into a summary, overall I really enjoyed the game probably more than I originally thought I would, I normally find after a while of playing I become a little bored with mobile games but this game has been a regular go back to for me when I get a bit of downtime. Tower defense games are normally more technical and take a bit more time to play out whereas this game has a more casual feel to it that allows you to jump in and out when required.
Verdict-Out of 5 ⭐
