About

Ageforge

Features
Read full description

Ageforge is a pocket real-time strategy game for one thumb. Your realm is a little island of holds (villages, forts and mines) joined by roads. Grow it from Wood to Steam and take the island from your rivals. Every hold you own musters troops over time. Swipe from one of your holds to another to send a marching column down the road; columns fight whatever they meet on the way. There's no unit micromanagement: you decide where to march, what to build and when to advance. • Build: tap a hold to raise a Farm (faster muster), Barracks (stronger troops), a Tower (defends and shoots at passing columns) or a Market (gold) • Advance: spend gold to lead your realm through four ages, Wood, Stone, Iron and Steam, each with stronger troops and new buildings such as siege workshops and steam engines • Battles last 3–6 minutes against AI rivals, made for a bus stop or a coffee break • Three factions, each with its own perks Three ways to play • Campaign: 30 battles across 3 chapters, with stars to earn in every battle • Skirmish: random maps against AI rivals • Daily Battle: the same map for everyone each day, with a daily streak to keep • Portrait, one-handed play • Plays fully offline, with no account • Haptics and synthesized sound • In English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) • No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking Campaign Chapter 1 (10 battles), Skirmish against one rival, the Daily Battle and one faction are free. The Full Realm is a one-time purchase that opens Chapters 2 and 3 (20 more battles), all three factions, and skirmishes with up to three rivals on large maps. Family Sharing included.
