About the Game

A fantasy medieval battlefield where Tower Defense meets Real Time Strategy. Lead through a campaign as you control group of units, capture towers and push forward to bring down the enemy castle. Face different legions: Crusader, Orc, Undead, and Dynasty. Each equips with their own army and special skill, and a powerful dragon at the end.

Unlock new units as you progress, enhance with upgrade tree, and promote units into stronger forms with unique titles that boost their stats. Use special legion skills at the right moment to turn the tide, with a mix of planning, grouping, marching and a little bit of luck!

BUILD YOUR ARMY

Create your own combination of army to fight and gather gold from fallen foes.

Use gold wisely to train more soldiers and prepare your line of army.

TRAIN & ARRANGE

Each group of soldiers can be arranged on the bridge, positioning matter

Build your own team composition and strategy to find the odds against the dragon when the gate is fully opened.

CHOOSE YOUR LEGION

Victory may reward you with a skill of the defeated legion.

Play a new game to choose your legion and unleash their power on your foes

RECRUIT & UPGRADE

Finish a match to earn XP and recruit new units from different legions.

Recruiting gives your solider a random title with bonus stats, good or bad.

You can reroll again to find the best title and change the course of the war.
