Question about Kingdom Rush. It was one of my favorite games, but I sort of hit a wall in the game and wanted some input. I was able to complete all of the normal campaign levels with no real issue. Some were challenging and took multiple tries, but I was always making progress and could come up with strategies for the levels. Plus it was fun to keep getting improved units/towers.
After I beat the final mission a bunch of bonus missions unlocked, they seemed near impossible and recommended 50 stars. I had about 40 or so. I had already 3 stared every level, so the only way to get more was to do the challenges on previous levels where you are limited to no heroes etc. These also seemed very difficult, and the fact that you cant use your upgrades kind of sucked.
I found the only way to win was to put it on Easy, and then buy those freezing items. Is this the only way to beat these? I never needed to buy items to beat levels before and sort of lost interest at that point.
I'm sure every last level can be finished on hard without any store items, but I don't like to check youtube for TD solutions, because it makes me feel pretty dumb lol. But I'd be shocked if every last level wasn't on there with the solution. Just googling for a random bonus level I've had trouble with Bandit's Lair,
shows a solution and another simple match for
Ruins of Acaroth.
Yeah, so just youtube any level you had trouble with to see how incredibly simple it is to beat it with no items at all.
I finished the main 12 levels of the campaign and the challenges all on hard without using any of the freezing items (or maybe a few sparingly spread out over the 36 stages, i can't remember), but the bonus levels really mess me up. I sometimes have to use 2-3 freezing items, other times none, but they're significantly more challenging and I'll frequently lose them. I only play for perfect wins though, so if any units get through at all I just quit and try again, though I noticed sometimes a single unit or two getting through won't take away from your rating.
I think the main problem I have lies in just not realizing how powerful certain tower upgrades can be in certain situations because what usually makes a level go from impossible to simple is just building the right few towers in the right order and location early on to get enough money to tackle any weak spots. But a proper solution wouldn't even have weak spots, which is another problem that goes back to really needing to know the towers in and out.
