Ride out with your champion. The walls will not hold the night on their own. Duskhold is kingdom defense on hex maps where you lead from the front. By day you raise walls, towers, barracks and farms on the plots each map gives you. When night falls, raiders march down the roads and warships land raiding parties on your coast, and your champion rides out to meet them: dash in, use four abilities, hold a gate, and pull back before a wall breaks. WHAT IS IN IT - 43 maps across 6 chapters, each with its own layout - 6 champions, each with a mount, a shared dash and four abilities of their own - 26 buildings with four tiers each; four of them split into a choice of two upgrade paths - 108 enemy types, 9 of them bosses - 38 research nodes, 111 pieces of equipment, 32 boons to pick during a run and 12 relics - Up to four players in one realm: host it, hand out the six-letter code and hold the walls together - Allies: add a friend by their code, see when they are hosting, and join with one tap - Play in English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Indonesian, Russian, Japanese, Korean or Simplified Chinese ALLIES AND ACCOUNTS No account is ever required. Play, co-op by code and the shop all work signed out.
