About the Game
Journey back in time to where it all began!
Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis brings a new chapter to the beloved tower defense saga, packed with the charm fans fell in love with. Jump into a portal in time to rewrite history and stop young Vez'nan before darkness takes hold!
Return to the original Kingdom Rush lands, at a time when legends were just beginning. Recruit familiar faces, revisit iconic battlefields and build strategic defenses to outsmart enemy waves.
18 Handcrafted Campaign Stages
Travel across three landscapes of early Linirea: the Citadel, the Stormcloud Depths and the far lands of Arcania.
Each stage is handcrafted piece by piece, from its unique mechanics and paths to the hidden Easter eggs waiting in every corner, so no two battles ever feel the same. Standing between you and Linirea's future are 40+ enemies from 5 factions and 6 colossal bosses.
5 Ways to Conquer Every Stage
Beyond the main campaign, every stage unlocks 5 game modes that change the rules entirely.
Our favorite? Classic Rush. Go back in time to 2011 and take on each stage with the original Kingdom Rush arsenal. Switch things up: survive one devastating wave in Iron Challenge, outpace enemies in Blitz, lead four heroes with no spells in Hero Party, or trust only your towers and spells in Spell Rush.
Lead Legends Old and New
Reunite with beloved characters and meet new allies. Choose your dream team from 12 heroes, 15 towers and 9 spells, mixing classic favorites with brand-new faces to find the synergies that suit your strategy. Then customize your army like never before, with individual upgrade trees for every hero and spell, plus global tower upgrades you can retune between stages.
15 Years Holding the Line
Fifteen years after the first creep marched down the road, Kingdom Rush returns to the lands where it all began, with bold new twists, epic fights and the signature Kingdom Rush humor. Along the way, you'll encounter surprising returns, memorable challenges and our most ambitious adventure yet.
Made with love in Montevideo, Uruguay, down to the last detail. Our team keeps making new campaigns, stages, heroes, spells and towers coming this year and beyond.
Defend the past to change the future!

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Since Patch 1 went live, we haven't stopped reading: reviews on Steam, comments on Discord, Reddit, Bilibili, YouTube and social media, in every language. Thank you to everyone who took the time to tell us what changed for you, and what still isn't working.
Patch 2 is almost ready. This week we're sharing it with our beta testers, and if testing goes well, we'll release it next week. Same as last time, we'd rather take a few extra days than ship changes that haven't been properly tested.
What Patch 2 focuses on
These are the main changes we can share today. Patch 2 may also include other changes and fixes that aren't listed here. When it goes live, we'll publish a full changelog with every change, the exact values and the reasoning behind each one, just like we did for Patch 1.
Tower buffs
- Royal Catapult: we're changing its firing animation so it shoots faster and misses less; cheaper skills.
- Knights Order: Honor the Fallen can now stun, and Inspired Protectors grants armor even without a hero nearby.
- Ironbark Treant: Nature's Hand and Gnarly Roots work in both modes; cheaper upgrade to level 4 and cheaper skills; Nature's Hand no longer targets the weakest enemies.
- Wildcat Huntresses: longer range and faster respawn.
- Cursed Crossbows: cheaper skills.
- Sunray Master: Minor Elementals now scales with its level: it summons 1, 2 and 3 elementals at levels 1, 2 and 3.
Why: these are the towers that most of you agree feel the weakest in the game.
Gold in specific stages
- Stage 2: more starting gold, more gold from its waves and one more tower spot.
- Stage 14: the cemetery skeletons now give gold.
- Stage 18: the Magma Elementals that Moloch summons now give gold.
Why: in these stages, for different reasons, the lack of gold is felt more than anywhere else. These changes only affect these stages.
Skill costs
The first level of 16 skills across 11 towers is cheaper. Fully upgrading a tower costs about the same as before. We'll list the affected skills in the final patch notes.
Why: to make getting your towers' skills more accessible.
Stability and bug fixes
Patch 2 also brings bug fixes, and we keep working on stability.
We keep reading
Every comment helps us understand where Genesis works and where it doesn't. We're reading them all with one question in mind: how do we make Kingdom Rush better for everyone, from those who just joined us to those who've been here since 2011.
This is another step, not the last one.
See you on the battlefield,
The Ironhide Team
P.S. About stability. We know about an issue with the digital signature of some new DLL files that can stop the game from launching on some PCs. For now, if it happens to you, try again a little later: the files usually get accepted on their own after a while. We plan to fix it in Patch 2 or in a hotfix soon after. If the game crashes or still won't start for you, write to us at [email protected] and tell us about your setup.
