A poor man's Kingdom Rush with much less features.
I think the opening level even uses same soundtrack.

The description is missleading, says there are 3 unique heroes but they are all the same in that they have no abilities and just stand there doing the same melee attack.

TD:FLTG is a classical tower defense game. Not necessarily a bad game but...

after just 15 minutes of playing I could easily see what a diluted version of Kingdom Rush this game is.

The game itself is not too bad but it's a clear copy of Kingdom Rush. Even the battle music is identical!

Would not recommend because of the copycat stuff alone.

No. Sorry, but no. This is a poor man's Kingdom Rush. From graphics to interface to balancing, everthing is just clunky. I should have read the reviews first but since it was only five dollars, I thought I couldn't go wrong. I would probably have had more fun trying to give myself a paper cut with that fiver than playing this uninspired, amateurish piece of fail. I've requested a refund.

Not as bad as other make it out to be, but certainly not good either. It is different from kingdom rush, though obviously inspired by it. Even though this game has no barracks type units to block with apart from your hero. Poor graphics you could forgive, but at the end of the day there are far better tower defense games out there than this one.
I got it on sale and would not of paid full price.

This game is extremely basic. There is nothing new here that compels me to spend a lot of time trying to beat each level. Typical type towers with no imagination. The levels are basic in that they require almost no thought into where to put the 'splash' tower, 'ice' tower, and quick 'arrows'. Same same same. This was a nice attempt at Ironhides great TD games. I'm only happy to say I bought this on sale.

I think I'm nearly at the end of the game (in less than four hours mind you) and I really don't know what to think. The game itself is one of the easier tds. What really sucks is that these big icons during a level cover a lot of the map and sometimes even spots where you can build towers ... often the popup panels ingame are a bit too big too and you end up clicking blind to try and catch the buttons that are off the screen. I had all my upgrades really early on because they are so cheap and I don't feel the need to complete the game at this state. I probably will do so anyway because I like tower defense games a lot but if you are in search for a good one like kingdom rush/kr frontiers go look somewhere else.

First, the game is glitchy as hell. It will move to the background mid-game, forcing you to constantly re start levels. Also. And this is a big one. It's a generic Kingdom Rush, and not a good one. The towers suck, the upgrades suck. The game sucks more than a White House intern.....

Ok this is a new released TD game and i did first 3 zones and its still dumpster ive played most TD's every things clunky in this its kind of pathetic you expect a decent TD but ya dont... like strategy really? u can only put towers in like 5 spots a map.. this is utter ♥♥♥♥. i dont even know how that deluded description of this game came into existance. hopefully it refunds. this is junk. its 2017;

Unfortunately you don't get much at the start to help you get going. I do love this sort of game, especially the heroes side.
Would you just give some more food in the first few levels to get you into the flow of the game?

I played the game all the way through beating every level on normal and hard and enjoyed it. Just because of that I have to give it a thumbs up, but there is alot of room for improvement. I really like tower defense games though so thats pry why I was able to enjoy it so much.

Length: I bought game on a good sale for a few dollars. When it only takes a few hours to beat the game and about 8 ish hours to completely conquer it perfecting all levels on hard, I wouldn't pay much more for it. I know it says I played longer, but I get pulled away and leave my games on pause often. I did throughly enjoy the pause button. It was probably paused for as much time as I was actually playing.

Pros: Very simple. I enjoyed the skill and tower combination. Only 4 towers but it was fun to try and figure out how to use them together for the most effect. I really liked the hero and being able to deploy rogue and lightning. Having to use the rogue to pick off the healers was kinda fun.

Cons: Very simple. While I liked that each monster had a strength and weakness, it didnt really matter as there are only 4 towers. Once you figured out the best combination there wasn't much else to it. I wish there was a library so I could go back and see enemy weaknesses and strengths though. Left me guessing trying to figure it out the hard way cuz I would either forget or click through really fast. Bosses were pretty lackluster. Only the last one was strong enough to deem a challenge but he moved so slow he wasn't. I never kept thinking I want to be able to max out these towers and kill hordes already. You do eventually get to that point but by the time I got there it was basically just turn game on autopilot and was too easy. Any map where the lanes all merged from or to one choke point were to easy. Any map where there were not a solid choke point were pleasently hard. There were 2 maps early on though where there where 3 lanes. They were so hard on hard that I eventually skipped them, built up a ridiculous amount of coins and then came back to them loaded with spells. The tic tac to board was so tough on hard I don't think I could beat it without spells.

Using the coins to unlock things was cool but there was only an finite amount of them. (well I guess I didnt try going back to redo a level I already mastered). I did not like how skills had to be paid for and unlocked with them. I was scared I would burn all my coins and not get all my towers unlocked. Ended up not mattering though cuz there were plenty since I was stingy.

******Spoilers******

Fire was very op. Especially when combined with the slow. After I figured that out it I only used lightning and arrow towers to pick off any strays immune to fire. Once you figure that out the game really just becomes healer control and how good of a shot are you with the rogue at picking them off. If they build up zap with lightning. The healers were really the only part of the game that added a challenge and they really got old after a while.
