Tower defence titles have seen a surge in popularity since the likes of Plants Vs Zombies have conquered the mass market in recent times.

In what’s becoming an increasingly competitive genre, it’s often the fun factor or creativity within the gameplay constraints that set titles apart, and Kingdom Rush perfectly presents itself as a case in point.

The fantastic fantasy setting for your tower battles bring a delightful array of medieval enemies on to your iPad, from devilish demons to gung-ho knights, not to mention some huge boss battles along the way.

Be warned, though, this is no walk in the park and you will die — a lot.

But what will keep you coming back for more is that sense of humour that keeps you hooked.
