Announcing CLASSIC MODE for Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis!

Fifteen years ago, the first horde of creeps marched down the Kingdom’s roads, with only four humble towers standing in their way… and the rest is tower defense history! 

Today, on the 15th anniversary of the original Kingdom Rush, we're celebrating the only way we know how: by bringing the classic back. Meet CLASSIC MODE, coming to Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis!


Choosing your Game Mode

In case you missed it: Kingdom rush Genesis has several game modes to choose in every stage:

  • Iron Challenge One devastating elite wave. One chance to survive. This mode will push your tower placement, timing, and strategy skills to their limit. 1 elite wave · 1 life total

  • Blitz Challenge Three intense waves with faster enemies and increased gold gain, where your speed is as important as your wit. 3 waves · faster spells · 3 life total

  • Hero Party Command four heroes but no spells, only courage and tactical worth will lead you to victory. 4 heroes · no spells

  • Spell Rush Can you survive without your heroes? Face the incoming waves armed only with your towers and faster spells. 3 life total · no heroes · faster spells

But there's one mode we haven't shown you yet… and it's the most exciting one.


Introducing: CLASSIC MODE

To honor the anniversary, Classic Mode is coming! Play through the entire campaign using the classic Kingdom Rush tower lineup, complete with their original upgrade paths. Being faithful to the first game's experience, you’ll also command a single hero and rely on the iconic Reinforcements and Rain of Fire spells as you defend the kingdom once again. A love letter to 2011!

Classic Mode rules:

  • 1 Hero: just like in the old days!

  • Classic towers only: Barracks, Archers, Mages, and Artillery

  • Classic spells only: Rain of Fire and Reinforcements

Your towers , just as you remember them:

  • Archer Towers: Archer Tower, Marksmen Tower, Sharpshooter Tower
    Lv. 4 Specialists: Rangers Hideout · Musketeer Garrison
