About the Game



Rally your troops and take back the throne or challenge your friends in player-vs-player battles!

The story:


  • Explore the land you once called home. And take it back.
  • Meet and recruit allies in your mission to take down the black wizard and his cohorts.
  • Capture windmills to generate the gold needed to fuel your war machine.

Battles:


  • Real-time, fast-paced battles will test your mettle. Do not back down. No retreat!
  • Twelve unit and structure types, each with their unique uses and abilities.
  • Layer and diversify the warriors under your command and plan your attacks by exploiting the strengths and weaknesses of enemy troops, but plan quickly.
  • Support and upgrade your forces in battle by constructing their special building, turning simple soldiers into powerhouses on the battlefield.

Tactics:


  • Cast powerful spells to help turn the tide of war in your favor or summon mighty Giants to tear your enemies asunder. But be warned: your enemies have learned the ways of ancient magic, too!
  • Prefer subterfuge? Rogues and ninjas bypass the thick of the fighting and go straight after the enemy’s infrastructure.
  • Learn from the computer AI by seeing its strategy play out in real-time. Improve your tactics, obtain victory, and reclaim the throne in the Final Battle!

Different game modes:


  • Take back the kingdom in the classic Campaign game mode against the AI or challenge your friends in competitive one-on-one battles.
  • Tailor multiplayer fights to your desires with the settings and wage battle from skirmish to all-out war.
  • Three difficulty modes: Easy for a more casual experience, Normal to play how it was intended, and Hard to make your journey quite challenging indeed!

Play the way you prefer:


  • You can use the mouse (click to move on map, click to buy units/build/cast spells)
  • You can use the controller (full controller support)
  • You can use the keyboard (WASD or arrows to move, E or Enter to buy/build/cast spells)
  • Two players can play versus games on one keyboard (WASD for left player, arrow keys for right player)
  • All keys are configurable
  • Mind-control is still not supported, but might be in the future ;)

So, King, do you think you have what it takes to restore your kingdom, dispose of these traitors, and make your mark on destiny?
