About the Game

As the last hope for Sylvanthal, you embark on the Battle for the Crystals. Although it may sometimes seem like the odds are against you, by utilizing the behavior of the enemy creeps and by commanding your troops effectively, you can outmaneuver even the largest enemy forces. Will you make it to the final battle against the dark Dragon Lord?

MASTER THE CAMPAIGN AND SURVIVAL MODE

Battle for the Crystals is a casual game, yet the various battlefields can be quite challenging. If you are looking for a game that holds your hand, this isn't it. Inspired by the unforgiving SNES games from back in the days, Battle for the Crystals is a game where players are challenged to experiment with different tactics on the battlefield and learn from their mistakes. There is a level based campaign mode and an endless survival mode with a wave system. Both come with three difficulty settings.

CONTROL A MIGHTY HERO

Take direct control of a powerful hero. Manoeuvre yourself strategically on the battlefield, dodge incoming missiles and cast the best spells to defeat the dreadful creeps.

LEAD YOUR TROOPS TO VICTORY

Command your troops and slay enemy creeps to fill the reinforcement meter and summon game-changing allies that can tip the scales in your favor.

DIE, ADAPT AND LEVEL-UP

Learn from your mistakes and retry the most challenging battlefields. Earned coins can be used between levels to elevate your hero's prowess by leveling up your stats.



STARTING TIPS
  • Try out different tactics. Don't be afraid to choose the offense, manoeuvre yourself behind enemy lines or lure creeps away from your obelisks.
  • Most of the time it is best to collect your spells as soon as possible, even when they are close to the enemy portals.
  • Experiment with different builds.
  • Luring enemies away from your portals can give you more time to gather ally forces and power up.
  • Explore a battlefield to find the location of the spells.
