Kingdom Rush Vengeance - Tower Defense

主线关卡设计跟前三代比起来质量差太多了，平衡性过于糟糕了，后期敌方数值离谱到你不用超模塔和超模英雄就很难通关，在数值面前战术不值一提。但是海盗王dlc很好玩，作为KR的铁粉还是建议入坑。

I bought this game on steam to avoid the constant microtransaction but now it felt like every update requires you to buy the update for 1/2 the price of the original content for a fraction of the game. Kingdom is still really good but its not worth paying every update.

其他塔防在kingdom面前只能是个萝莉

又试了几款其他知名塔防游戏，才发现我不是喜欢塔防游戏，而是喜欢王国保卫战

4代最大的变化，就是你不再扮演正义的守护者，而是扮演一代里被击败的大反派——死灵法师维兹南。 你被囚禁多年后逃了出来，发现自己的领地被人占了，于是你召集亡灵部队，向那些自诩正义的王国发起复仇 这个视角一换，整个游戏的氛围都变了，你不再是“抵御入侵”，而是“主动进攻”，你建的塔不是箭塔、兵营、法师塔那种“正派风格”，而是死灵墓、熔炉、哥布林火箭骑兵这种带着邪气的东西 前几代是固定的四种塔——箭塔、兵营、法师塔、炮塔，每种塔有两条升级分支，你总共能建8种不同的顶级塔。但四代不一样了：你可以在几十种塔里自由选择5种，带进关卡，塔的种类大增，有足足19种之多，流派更多了，搭配更自由了——火山流、死灵流、沼泽流，各有各的玩法 英雄系统也变了：前几代英雄可以通过游戏内积累升级，四代也是，但四代的初始英雄被很多人认为是全系列最弱的 地图也是：多路线、多路口的设计变多了，不再是随便堵个路口就能通关，有些怪物会坐过山车绕过你的防线，有些会飞，有些会掌控雷电。你得动脑子想“这关该带哪5种塔”、“放在什么位置”、“怎么应对特殊机制” 不过为什么要摒弃一开始的玩法呢，交叉路合力防御基本上不好用了

进游戏弹窗推广新作，不等加载好就关闭会导致闪退，这种骚操作还是第一次见。

好玩的

[h3]Title: Kingdom Rush Vengeance[/h3] (DLC REQUIRED FOR 100%) Summary: Fantasy tower defense game Personal notes: Kingdom Rush Vengeance is the fourth entry in the Kingdom Rush series. Once again you are tasked with defending against waves of enemies across various locations through strategically placing and upgrading towers. The core gameplay remains the same but this time, Vengeance introduces two fairly distinct changes that make this game break the standard formula. Firstly you are no longer restricted to the four basic towers, being barracks, archers, magic, and artillery. Now you can choose from 16-21 towers all with different abilities and designs. Which brings me to the next big change. Who do these towers belong to do you ask? None other than the series main villain Vez'nan! You must now play as the evil you swore to defeat as you push through familiar kingdoms from the other side of the war. It's a pretty fun twist and I througholy enjoyed playing as the bad guy for once, I personally loved the darker/enemy themed towers. Otherwise the gameplay sticks very close to what was already established which I support, if it ain't broke dont fix it IMO. The level design remains strong but I do feel like the choice of revisiting old stages was a double-edged sword. It hit that nostalgic factor but I knew what to expect excluding the DLC. In addition, the freedom of tower selection made some of these levels way too easy if you used the right tower. The story is decent but pretty minimal, mostly acting as a setup for the idea of playing as Mr. Evil Bad Guy Vez. Like the rest of the series, narrative isn’t a major focus, and Vengeance doesn’t really try to change that approach. The audio also remains very solid, with the sound effects being punchy and clear. The music was also quite good but I do tend to prefer my own after a certain amount of replays. Visually this game still looks fantastic. Vengeance maintains the colourful, cartoon-like style the KR series is known for all the while shifting to a darker tone to match the story which I really enjoyed. I still had a blast with this game and while I do greatly appreciate the team for trying something different. I felt like it doesn't do enough different to really stand out much from the earlier games. The addition of tower selection is good for player choice but also makes levels a lot more difficult to balance. Plus the enemy perspective is lots of fun but is ultimately just a fresh coat of paint over the exact same gameplay. It's still a very solid game but honestly I felt like it was a bit less fresh compared to the two earlier entries in the series. Achievement-wise this game is pretty on par with the other games in the series, just a little longer. Most of them come from the story and completing specific and funny in-game challenges. It’s more about time than difficulty and nothing feels especially punishing. However, fully completing the game does require DLC content which is important to note! All things considered, I felt like Kingdom Rush Vengeance is a solid but slightly stale entry in this great series. The villain twist is fun and the gameplay still is too, but I feel like I'm starting to get a little tired of the formula and I just wish this game did a bit more considering it was already going for changes. Anyways I still think this game is great all around and would easily recommend it to any Kingdom Rush fan or Tower Defense fan, I would recommend starting with the first however! Time it took to complete: 38hrs Most difficult achievement(s): - Unlimited Power! (Kill 5,000 enemies with Vez'nan's powers.) - Peerless Defender (Complete the Campaign in Impossible difficulty.) - They're coming! (Make your crows deal 30000 total damage.) Difficulty rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10 Overall rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10

first time playing Tower Defense, tried demo for 2.5 hours it has a nice intro, easy UI, keyboard/controller/Steam deck friendly got good balance and progression system, faultless so I happily bought the base game and the Kingdom's Starter Pack bundle thank you Ironhide for making high quality tower defense games <3
