I borrowed my friend's QQ ID and played a few levels. On the surface it's deeper than Kingdom Rush. It has a whole village map type deal where you can do upgrades and whatnot. You have to unlock some of the tower levels manually by playing. You also level up and some levels are inaccessible until getting to a certain level. Tower costs and locations within the build menu are exactly the same so far, and some enemies are quite similar to their KR counterparts, namely the wolf. I much prefer KR's artwork, but this Chinese one isn't bad or anything. Just plainer and less vivid. 2 more spells: one is the vine spell from KR's archer tower, and the other is a bolt-type deal that does super heavy damage to a single enemy. Reinforcements look exactly like the barracks soldiers. Kind of annoying.
All in all, KR keeps my attention far better, but I might give this another hour or so of play just so I can find more differences and similarities. The game is free to play, but there are paid options. No idea what they do and I don't plan to find out.
