Kingdom Rush vs Shop Heroes
Kingdom Rush
Kingdom Rush is one of the top tower defense games that you can play for free. After gaining its fame on ArmorGames' website, the franchise took off at alarming speeds as huge number of players from all around the world began to take on the game's challenge to protect the kingdom from the variety of enemies that are trying to rush-attack it. The game is relatively fast-paced for a tower defense game, since there are plenty for you to consider before you even set up your very first tower. Different types of towers play differnt roles and have an advantage over specific enemies, after all. The positions of your towers are also crucial since these positions are fixed on the map and that yuop can't exactly buy more. There are also several spells at your disposal so you can use them when the going gets tough.If you’re a huge fan of tower defense games, Kingdom Rush is one of the modern classics (like Plants vs Zombies) that you should definitely play. It retains many of the classic tower defense format and still manages to bring plenty of its own unique features to the table too. Hours of entertainment and challenge awaits you at Kingdom Rush, so be sure to check it out!
Shop Heroes
Shop Heroes is an incredibly fun and addictive, medieval/fantasy shop simulation that has some RPG elements. In this game, you play as a shopkeeper with a newly established shop that provides various types of RPG adventurers with their weapons, armor, and accessories. As opposed to only selling them, you will also need to hire crafters to craft the said items, and each crafter has their own sets of skills while each item will require certain sets of skills to craft. Thankfully, you can hire more than one crafter (eventually) and hence, you will be able to produce more than a few selected categories of items later down the road.These items can then be sold to the RPG adventurers who approach you at your shop. Selling to them, however, usually means that you'll be selling at market price, though you are given the option to lower your prices to earn Hearts or use Hearts to inflate your prices. Since most adventurers would want a very specific item to buy, which you may not have available, you can also use Hearts to change their minds. Naturally, trying to suggest a closer alternative to buy would cost you fewer Hearts.
The game also has RPG elements where you can recruit and send adventurers into various dungeons to earn special crafting materials that these dungeons only provide. There's PvP as well, where you can assemble a team of 5 to battle a randomly selected player's team of your bracket. Not to mention, you can even group up with other shopkeepers via guilds and work together on weekly challenges to win freebies, in addition to cooperatively building up the guild facilities so as to obtain a better guild-wide buff.
Shop Heroes is a game that is one of its kind because it not only managed to flawlessly merge both shop simulation and RPG into a fun and exciting package, but also to provide its game completely free. You can advance, albeit at a slower pace, in this game without spending a single cent if you like, but of course, if you enjoyed playing the game, you might want to spend some cash just to show your support.
