## What is HexRealm?

The grid is dark. The cipher awaits. Can you light it up?

HexRealm: Cipher Wars is a tactical energy-routing puzzle game set across a glowing 3D hex board. Your mission: connect energy sources to targets by positioning your units into a powered chain — before time runs out.

INTUITIVE BUT DEEP
Move your units across the hex grid to build energy pathways. Every connection you make lights up the board with electric beams. Route energy to all targets and solve the cipher.

25 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS
Five tiers of increasing challenge take you from first-time player to master strategist. Early levels teach the fundamentals. Later levels throw obstacles, enemies, and complex multi-source grids at you — all demanding creative thinking.

UNIT TYPES
• Conduit — carries energy to adjacent units
• Amplifier — broadcasts energy in all 6 directions at once
• Shield — protects your chain from enemy disruption
• Striker — smashes blocked tiles to clear new paths

ENEMY ENCOUNTERS
Starting in Tier 3, enemy units enter the board after every turn, marching toward your chain. Shielded units resist them. Unshielded units get pushed. Adapt your strategy or lose your circuit.

EARN YOUR STARS
Three-star ratings reward efficient play. The fewer turns you use, the more stars you earn. Perfect solvers rise to the top.

CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE
Three difficulty settings — Easy, Medium, and Hard — let every player find their pace. Easy gives you more turns. Hard takes them away.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Save mid-game and pick up exactly where you left off
• Auto-saves when you leave the app
• Plays completely offline — no internet required, ever
• No ads. No subscriptions. No interruptions.

Route the energy. Defeat the cipher. Claim the realm.
