About the Game

In a kingdom in ruins, several warriors attempt to defeat the knights of the Umberia kingdom, and you are one of these warriors. What sets you apart from the rest is that you use only a shield, no swords, spears, axes, or bows, just a good old shield.

  • Use your gold to acquire new shields and amulets that will change the way you face your enemies.


  • Face the legendary king's knights, using your shield to deflect their powerful attacks.


  • Explore the kingdom in ruins and find challenges to earn unique rewards.


  • Talk to other warriors and inhabitants of the kingdom to learn more about its history.
