Your kingdom sits in the middle of goblin country. Every night they come. Every day you get 45 seconds to prepare. ONE CHOICE, TWENTY TIMES OVER Mini Castle is a castle-defense game with a stripped-down RTS economy, built around a single pressure: your people are both workers and soldiers. Send them to chop wood, mine gold and herd sheep, and your stores fill while your walls empty. Keep them holding spears, and the walls hold, but next wave you cannot afford a single new recruit. THE LOOP DAY (45 seconds): gather, build, train NIGHT: goblins pour in from the map edge EDICT: draw three, keep one Survive 20 waves. If the castle falls, you lose. THREE RESOURCES, THREE RHYTHMS - Gold: finite mines; once dug out, it's gone - Wood: trees regrow, so it rewards steady harvesting - Meat: sheep breed on their own; the longer you wait, the more you get POPULATION IS A HARD CEILING Houses set your troop cap. Go over it and your whole army is Exhausted: 25% less damage and movement speed. More troops means more houses, and that wood was going to be a watchtower. GOBLINS PUSH ON THREE DIFFERENT AXES - Torch goblins: many and tough, they demand raw damage - Bomb goblins: they dive into your crowd, forcing you to spread out - Barrel goblins: they shell you from range, forcing you to clear the back line Four tiers, colour-coded: Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple. From wave 2 on, every enemy band is led by a Chieftain, half again as big, and it heals the goblins around it. 24 EDICTS, NO TWO RUNS ALIKE After each wave you draw three random edicts and keep one. RAZE THE GOBLIN CAMPS Camps sit scattered across the map. Destroy one and every later wave is 12% weaker, stacking. But marching out to raze a camp means leaving home undefended. 21 MAPS, EACH ASKS A DIFFERENT QUESTION Plains, highlands, desert, archipelago, marsh and coast. The terrain decides where the enemy enters and where your towers belong. Win a map to unlock the next. 3 DIFFICULTIES Apprentice Lord, Lord, War King FULLY OFFLINE - No ads - No in-app purchases - No data collected - No internet connection needed - Seven languages: English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean Touch-first controls: tap to select, drag a box for multiple units, double-tap to grab every unit of that type on screen.
