Some enemies have their own special abilities. Then a new round begins with more hordes coming onto the map. You’ll also pick up any towers that you used during the round and optionally buy new towers with coins. When a hero runs out of health, they’re knocked out and won’t be able to do any actions the next round.Īfter the hordes have done their thing, anyone that had one or more tower cards passed to them during the main phase will upgrade those towers to the next level. Horde cards don’t move when they have soldiers or heroes on them, but the soldiers are removed and the heroes take one point of damage. Then the surviving hordes will advance toward the exits. You start out with just a few Level 1 towers that have restrictive placement rules for their damage tiles, but the higher level towers give you more flexibility.Īfter the main phase is over, any horde cards that were destroyed are removed from the board and your team will get coins to use later on for new towers. The towers show which directions and how far they can shoot. What you’re trying to do is use your damage tiles (the polyominoes) and your heroes’ miniatures to cover the enemies on the horde cards before they make it to the exits. You can do any of these actions during this phase and players can perform actions in any order. The scenario booklet will also tell you where to put each building site, which is where you’ll be able to place your towers throughout the scenario.ĭuring the main phase of each round, you’ll get to place towers and attack with them, pass towers to teammates to upgrade them, and activate your heroes (moving them and using their unique abilities). The scenarios you play in Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time have unique board layouts and different groups of enemies that you’ll have to face.


Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time was designed by Helana Hope, Sen-Foong Lim, and Jessey Wright, and it will be published by Lucky Duck Games. In this game you use your heroes and towers to defend your kingdom against all of the enemies and portals that the Time Mage throws at you. Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time is a cooperative tower defense game based on the very popular mobile game Kingdom Rush. We were sent a copy of this game by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time review was made after playing through the campaign (all two-player and three-player games).
