During mass colonisation and space exploration, three powerful lords chased their own interests. In the process of numerous disputes and division of territories, a decision was made in favor of dividing society into three separate factions, which are in conflict to this day. This is how the history of the new Universe began. WarUniverse. And only you can hold all the power! Choose one of three warring factions and take control of the universe by creating your own syndicate. Unite in groups, lead a clan and gather as many like-minded people as possible - only together can you reach the top! Defend sectors controlled by your faction from the constant threat of alien races and attacks from hostile factions. Protect the weak, strive for the strong and lead them - and this world will fall at the feet of the strongest. Get the ship you like, equip it with the latest technology. Each ship has two configurations - you can assemble each one for your tasks! For example: for waging war and for maximum speed, or you can assemble a hybrid from many different parts! You are your own master! Evolve, climbing up with each new quest or slay. Go hunting against alien creatures or go to war against enemy factions. Everything has its own price, everything has its own reward! As you gain levels, you travel further along the storyline of the Universe, discovering new wonders. What are you waiting for, Pilot? Join the action today.

THE GOBLINS KEEP COMING. Tiny Swords: Last Stand is a fast, colourful survival game where every wave pushes your knight a little further. Cut through goblin swarms, dodge dynamite, cross dangerous bridges and prepare for enormous boss battles. SWING, SHOOT AND STRIKE Master responsive sword combat, unlock the bow at level 3 and call down lightning from level 6. Smart volleys split between nearby enemies, while returned dynamite becomes a weapon against the goblins who threw it. BUILD A STRONGER KNIGHT Earn XP and bank coins after every wave. Visit the Armoury to improve your sword, bow, lightning and permanent perks. Unlock new armour, animated weapon patterns and powerful equipment bonuses as your level rises. SURVIVE A CHANGING BATTLEFIELD Maps expand as the waves grow. Water rises, crossings fail and enemies become faster and more dangerous. Goblins seek safer routes, retreat when wounded and use the environment to surround you. FACE GIANT BOSSES Every tenth wave brings a major boss encounter, including the explosive Powderkeg. Learn their attacks, protect your health and build a loadout strong enough to survive the next assault. FEATURES - Fast sword, bow and lightning combat - Expanding maps and increasingly dangerous water - Giant animated boss battles - Armour and weapon upgrade paths - Powerful knight and equipment bonuses - Animated rainbow, shadow and elemental styles - Five adjustable difficulty levels - Intelligent health, arrow and reward drops - Automatic saving during interruptions - Portrait and landscape support - No account required Your progress is saved automatically, so you can return to camp and continue from the next unfinished wave. Optional rewarded adverts and in-app purchases are available. Core gameplay does not require an account.
