Ordered this (The Elemance Chest version with all the expansions) and just waiting for it to ship. Stubmled on this video because I've been watching a lot Kingdom Rush vids and gave it a try. Glad I did, I like your style and the way you talk about the game and the "outside gameplay" issue/topics as well.
The real difficulty of the game is knowing when to improve his towers, and not be overwhelmed by it. This is not clear. It depends on the scenario and future waves. You can feel stupid if you lose, without really knowing what went wrong. I find it game design not elegant and engaging.
I own and have played the original and have Elemental Uprising, but haven't got it to the table yet. I like it because it isn't like anything else in my my collection, which is predominantly skirmish, boss battlers and dungeon crawls. I tend to drop in to one off scenarios, every now and again. And I have no intention of using any stickers on it?!
I‘m with you regarding the stickers. Would it not be an option to use tokens instead of stickers? I mean it’s kinda fiddly aswell but it’s less peeling. Maybe I’ll print some tokens :-/
The stickers are very reusable and easy to remove, it's hard to explain because they aren't like the normal paper stickers, it's more like a suction cup. Being stickers improves a lot the usability because you are constantly changing around the towers and carrying a token can be lost while being a sticker is always with the card. I don't know its lifespan of it but it worked.

Hi Chris, you might need to check the rules, the dwarven artillery *does* hit all three targets simultaneously (unlike the other types of tower).

Loved the first one and played through all of it! Sad I skipped out on this one, hope to pick it up later.
Not sure when this will come out of shrink for me, but man, I miss the days of good value crowdfunding campaigns

As a fan of the mobile games, I gotta say it just seems like they could have done this so much better. It just looks so cheap.
A game I want to play but not own haha. Thanks for the coverage.
