PROS:
+ great art style
+ awesome tower defense elements
+ cool puzzles/levels
+ fun achievements
+ level specific events
+ Heroic & Iron mode level variant
+ 16 heroes to choose from
+ 22 levels (66 with Heroic & Iron mode)

CONS:
- some people will find it too easy compared to Kingdom Rush
- not all heroes are useful in the more difficult stages
- makes you angry when that last minion ruins your perfect score

Comment:
After playing and really enjoying Kingdom Rush I was happy that the sequel appeared here on Steam. This game is possibly easier than Kingdom Rush as less of a specific mix is needed. Towers often have special variants that make them eventually viable for almost any enemy. This is the trade-off so you can play the way you want. Three expansion unlock after finishing the main campaign, each adds new units to make the gameplay fresh and a bit more difficult. You have a lot of heroes to choose from but apart from maybe the expansions there is no real reason to level them up. You can just pick the one you like and get him to maximum level and just keep using him/her. Though I have to say not all of them are usable in the later levels, especially the expansions. I had an occasional game freeze (FPS drop) when a tower is built or hero revives but it happened only on some levels and not always. During the campaign most of the stages have a special event (sand worm, ship cannons, etc.) that makes the gameplay more dynamic as you have to adjust to event while fighting enemies. Overall a really great sequel and definitely a game to check out if you are into tower defense games!

P.S.: Great Defender, Heroic Defender & Iron Defender probably only unlock in Normal or Hard difficulty (this was the case in the first game), but you only need to finish the first 15 levels to unlock them
