The difficulty changes the Hit Points (or HP) of the enemies. Starting a new game first offers you a choice of difficulty. From the first stage, a small town on the coast under attack by roaming outlaws, the game follows a route through the Kingdom and beyond, fighting off an invading force led by the main antagonist and ultimately final boss the dark wizard Vez'nan. The story of Kingdom Rush unfolds as each level is started, with a basic introduction to the stage written as instructions to you, the nameless General in the King's forces. Heroes have special moves that increase in strength as they gain experience through a level, and will return after a while if defeated. Heroes are used as unique units that can be directed around the level.

As levels progress new towers and further upgrades are unlocked. Kingdom Rush expands on the usual set up by using a limited number of tower types, while introducing individual units that engage enemies on the path and including bosses. Letting too many enemies through results in a Game Over. Placing towers on the side of a path to destroy enemies that appear in predetermined waves, the objective is to defeat all the waves before they reach the end of the path, using the towers and certain abilities.
