Trivia / Kingdom Rush

• Audience Participation: Infrequently, Ironhide Games would set out a poll on social media to decide what pieces or lore the fans want first.
  • The first poll options were the story between Eridan and Alleria, Bonehart's Origins, and why Hammerhold wasn't there to help Linirea during Vez'nan's conquest in Vengeance. After close votes, the stories were released in the order above, with Eridan and Alleria being released on June 21st 2019, Bonehart being released six days later, and Hammerhold's story being released eight days after that.
  • In Mid January 2020, they fave fabs the option of whether to have the story behind the Hammer of Ages revealed, Lord Malagar’s backstory, or Kutsao’s origins. They were released in that order, starting on February 7th.
• Follow the Leader: There are quite a number of Tower Defense games that copy the Kingdom Rush formula of being able to block enemies on the path, even using similar information screens for new towers and enemies.
• Milestone Celebration: For Kingdom Rush's 10th anniversary, a new Hero was added to the original Kingdom Rush game in the form of Ten'Shi.
