## What is Typeforge?

Typeforge: Twin Cities is a strategic tower defense game built around movable-type fusion. Every tile is more than a resource: combine words into units, fortifications, settlements, and heroes, then shape a defensive civilization of your own.

TYPE FUSION, LIVING CIVILIZATION
Start with basic type tiles and discover multi-stage recipes. Forge hunters, slingers, granaries, beacon towers, Hero Monuments, and advanced units. Deployment, recall, and fusion upgrades can all change the battle.

TWIN-CITY COMPETITION
Face an AI rival assembled from rank-appropriate item and equipment loadouts. Both cities defend against synchronized waves, adjust formations, and use tactical items until one city falls. Competitive and cooperative modes are asynchronous AI experiences, not real-time multiplayer.

COOPERATIVE DEFENSE
Join an AI ally on a shared battlefield. Support fire can cross the central line as both cities face larger waves and powerful bosses. If one city falls, the surviving city must withstand the remaining assault.

HEROES OF EAST AND WEST
Complete kill, boss, and civilization requirements to ascend a unit along an Eastern or Western legacy. Each hero has distinct skills, levels, signature weapons, and combat effects.

ENDLESS CYCLES
Enemy types, routes, and bosses evolve over time. Combine area attacks, piercing shots, chain effects, slowing, buffs, naval combat, and fortifications to see how long your civilization can endure.

ITEMS AND WEAPONS
Active items can turn a critical moment; passive items define long-term strategies. Enemies and bosses may drop weapon fragments for units and heroes.

The game supports English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Optional rewarded ads are available and never block core play. A one-time Permanent Ad-Free Chronicle purchase can skip rewarded videos while preserving all original cooldowns, eligibility rules, and usage limits. Restore Purchases is available in Settings.
