## What is Realmwarden?

Explore a floating-island world. Build your defense on a real-time 3D battlefield. Lead your hero into the fight.

Realmwarden: Rift Defense is a single-player fantasy tower defense game for iPhone and iPad. Protect the crystal across three lanes and adapt when the battle changes.

PLAN, THEN FIGHT
Pause combat to place, upgrade, move or sell towers. Resume when you are ready. Use gates, a drawbridge, terrain and tactical choices to hold each lane. Rotate and zoom the battlefield to see your next move.

LEAD YOUR SQUAD
Choose one leader and two support heroes. Move your leader, dash away from danger and time three skills. Progress through four chapters and twelve campaign stages to unlock eight heroes and twelve tower types. Take up to six tower types into each battle.

CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE
Defend the crystal, escort a moving core, destroy rifts in Counterattack, or push your record in Endless. Train freely and grow your heroes and towers between battles.

PLAY YOUR WAY
Core gameplay works offline without an account. Choose among 13 interface languages in Settings. Optional Sign in with Apple enables private iCloud archive sync. Online features and App Store purchases require internet.

OPTIONAL PURCHASES
The shop offers permanent portrait color palettes, consumable Star Gems and an optional monthly auto-renewing Premium Pass. Portrait palettes do not change combat stats. Star Gems can also be earned through play. Each verified paid subscription period offers up to ten 60-gem rewards, unlocked by victories in that period. Earned rewards arrive automatically and do not expire. Free rewards do not reset. The game displays local prices before purchase.

The subscription renews monthly unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Deleting a game profile does not cancel a subscription.
