Your empire faces relentless invasions from the savage Artronids, threatening its very existence. As Commander, you are the last line of defense against the deadly enemy onslaught. In this endlessly replayable experience, every battle presents fresh challenges with unpredictable outcomes. Build the ENEMY PATH Take control of the battlefield by shaping the very ground your enemies march on. Expand and modify terrain tiles to create choke points, forcing enemies into lethal artillery fire or luring them into carefully laid traps. Height and pathing are your greatest weapons—use them wisely to dictate the flow of battle and secure victory. Factions & HEROES Each faction brings its own arsenal to the battlefield, featuring unique biomes, towers, and strategies. Their distinct playstyles shape how you build defenses, deploy units, and control the fight. With 10 unique heroes per faction, each possessing their own strengths and abilities, there are always new tactics to discover and strategies to master. Adapting to WARFARE War is unpredictable, but true Commanders adapt. After each wave, select from a set of upgrades and rewards to reinforce your strategy. Assess enemy strengths and weaknesses, adjusting your defenses to counter their advance. No two battles end the same way, as each new tile placement forces you to plan one step ahead.

Heroes are earned through achievements, building upgrades are discovered, and the Codex is packed with secrets to uncover.

[TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!] A beloved PC game, now coming to mobile. Metacritic: 83. Very Positive on STEAM - 90%. Drop Duchy takes the iconic geometric puzzle gameplay we all know and love and gives it a fresh perspective: instead of simply clearing lines, you build a realm. A mix of deckbuilding, puzzle and rogue-lite, designed to hone your appetite as a block-stacking tactician. Place tile pieces as you would in a block-dropping game, but align them to maximize their activation rules. Set the right structures next to lush forests, wild rivers and grassy plains to pull out maximum resources and units. Then gather your troops, reclaim the regions under enemy control, and storm the enemy fortress along branching, decision-filled paths. Let your castle take too much damage and the run ends - but defeat is not the end: jump straight back in with a new strategy, and use the experience gained to unlock even more content. Grow in power with over 110 unique cards, trade with markets and guilds, and climb a meta progression of over 90 missions tied to three playable factions: The Duchy, The Order and The Republic.
