Key Information
A tide of pixel-art combat rolls across the screen—your hand-picked squad on the left, relentless enemy waves on the right. Spend steadily-generated Energy to recruit one of three classic heroes:
Swordsman – hardy frontline bruiser
Archer – ranged sharpshooter who thins the horde
Templar – Tankier, faster, and more damage!
Once deployed, units march forward automatically, clashing wherever they meet. If a side’s warriors fall, survivors push on to batter the opposing base. Destroy the enemy stronghold before they topple yours and the round is yours.
But victory comes at a price: each win beefs up the enemy army and bolsters their base with extra health, ratcheting up the pressure in an ever-escalating gauntlet. How long can your tactics keep pace with their growing fury?
Key Features
Pick-and-Play Strategy – Simple unit-buying at the start of every round; deep decisions in what you field.
Three Distinct Classes – Mix frontline muscle, ranged support and tanky defense to craft the perfect battle line.
Endless Escalation – Every victory toughens the next wave, turning early skirmishes into nail-biting sieges.
One-Screen Pixel Action – Clean, colorful art keeps the focus on moment-to-moment tactics.
Short Sessions, Long Mastery – Matches play fast, but optimal play and high-wave survival demand cunning.
Rally your tiny army, sharpen your strategy, and see how far you can push before the ever-stronger foe pushes back!
