The throne is empty, twelve warlords hold twelve regions, and one of them is you. 12 Lords Retro is the return of Loạn 12 Sứ Quân, a classic made for the phones of its day and rebuilt for this one, pixel for pixel. The whole game is on your device: no account, no connection, no waiting for anything to load. Walk the map from your home village to the strongholds of the other lords, place by place, mission by mission. Every fight is a match-3 battle on a shared board: line up swords to strike, rice to keep your army fed, hearts to heal, gold to buy what the shop sells, and spell crystals to call fire, ice and lightning down on your rival. Spend your turns well — thinking costs rice too. Between battles, visit the shop for a sharper sword or a sturdier shield, keep a remedy in your bag for the hard fights, and train at the arena at Tam Điệp when a lord proves too strong. Lose a battle and you lose a life; rest a while and they come back. WHAT YOU GET ● The full campaign across the twelve regions, with its story told as you go ● Match-3 battles with swords, rice, hearts, gold and five kinds of spell ● Six heroes to choose from, each with their own element and their own spells ● A shop, a bag of items, and an arena with five masters to train against ● A game that plays entirely offline and saves itself as you go ● The original artwork and music, kept as they were 12 Lords Retro is published by the makers of 12 Lords. It is a single-player game; nothing in it needs the internet. ## Is 12 Lords Retro safe?
