RTS with TD elements, reminiscent of Warcraft. Get resources, develop your settlement and train units to protect the kingdom from monsters.
It's reminiscent of classic Warcraft, but more casual, without workers (you control military units only) and with fixed mine locations (all other buildings can be placed anywhere in your territory).
There are eight missions, in each you need to complete a series of tasks. If you complete the main tasks, you will receive one star, if you complete additional tasks, you will receive two stars. To get three stars, you need to complete missions at a high difficulty level.
+ Excellent graphics, music and sounds.
+ Cute monsters.
+ Simple controls.
+ Dynamic, casual gameplay.
+ 8 missions.
+ 3 difficulty levels.
+ Achievements.
+ Trading cards.

Quick, fun, and moderately challenging: everything you could ask for.
Risen Kingdom is an RTS/TD hybrid game. You build units, defend your base, and strike out across the map to attack neutral creeps and expand your holdings. It very much feels like a Warcraft 3 custom map, and I mean that as a compliment.
The RTS portions of the game are where it really shines. Having to balance pushing out and expanding your base while defending it properly is the only real opportunity for skill expression you're given; the TD portion of the game is very simple.
Risen Kingdom plays well. It has classic Blizzard-type controls, including the exact same hotkeys for control groups. Unit selection is a little worse than in Starcraft or Warcraft, but you don't need micro so it's mostly a moot point.
Difficulty is moderate for any RTS veteran; the whole game took me around 7 hours to complete on the hardest difficulty, including getting all achievements. But for such a low price, value for money was very much there.
All told, Risen Kingdom is fun little TD that you can blow through in a single session. It's cheap, plays wells, and is modestly challenging. What more could you ask for?

The game is fun. Very easy to play.
This game doesnt require any thought of any kind. Super simple and easy to beat.
Con:
One of the levels is simply impossible to beat in hard difficulty.
The ending has no final boss. It's just 10 minutes of waves. At one point i thought the game was glitched lol.
Game is too short for 10$. I finished it in 8 hours. A lot of that was just waiting for the timer to end because i had cleared all the areas.
Game ending has no conclusion. No congrats message, no music, no end game boss. It just ends. Was kind of dissapointed.
The maps are railroady. Straight path to your destination. Same upgrades every map.
Only story mode. No PVE maps or create your own maps etc. This game can definitely improve in the second version if one ever comes out.

This is actually a very fun game very similar to There Are Billions <-- Just a more simplistic adaptation of that.
The game is very easy to learn vs other games of the genre and it's a lot more forgiving vs games of the genre so if you want to get into those but are too intimidated this may be a good entry point for you also it has the adorable art style.
I do have a slight issue with the game and that's the lack of replayability vs other games of the same genre. Outside of the single player campaign there's no additional modes. There's no sandbox experience, no conquest mode; nothing!
So once you accomplish the campaign you're essentially done which is a shame because it would be great with a sandbox experience

I played this a few years back and just thought about it again, thought I'd leave a review.
It's not a complex RTS, don't expect Supreme commander, but I recall it was a good time.
Basically if you wanna chill and battle your way through a novel RTS campaign for a couple of days, optimize some builds, and then close the game feeling wrapped up with it and satisfied, this is a good pick. I kind of wish there were more RTS games which were short experiences like this one, reminds me of the early days of Flash RTS games, although this is much more polished and not as broken as those were.
