Medieval Sticks Command your army, outsmart your enemies, and conquer 100 medieval battlefields in this fast-paced stick figure strategy game. BUILD YOUR ARMY Deploy warriors from your gold budget before each battle. Choose from knights, archers, rangers, wizards, lancers, monks, catapults, and more — each with unique abilities and stats. Place your troops wisely: positioning and unit composition are the keys to victory. FIGHT THROUGH 100 LEVELS Take on an epic campaign across plains, graveyards, swamps, dungeons, volcanoes, and sacred grounds. Each level brings tougher enemies — orcs, dark mages, necromancers, wyvern riders, siege towers, and fearsome bosses. One defeat resets your campaign, so fight smart. HEAD 2 HEAD MODE Challenge a friend on the same device. Both players place their troops in secret, then watch the battle unfold. 16 unique battlefields to choose from.
