Early Steam Reviews

Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD, as of press time, has "Very Positive" reviews on Steam.

"Game is good," a user named Dataseries said in a Steam review. "I agree with the consensus that the game is way too short for the price."

"But the level design is superb, and there are lots of towers already," Dataseries added. "The heroes, meh, they don't really feel unique, but at least they give you a unique active skill."

"An excellent game with a charming art style and impressive graphics," user gilbertbudden said in a separate review. "The tower variety is wide and so is the hero variety."

gilbertbudden added, "Nearly all towers and heroes are unique and usable and the campaign stages are diverse, well designed and thought provoking."
