About

Hex Royale

Features
Read full description

Drop onto a hex battlefield with a hand-picked squad of fantasy misfits -- then outscout, outloot, and outfight four rivals before the ground disappears beneath everyone's feet. BUILD YOUR WEIRD LITTLE ARMY Knights? Sure. A pack of feral Werewolves? Absolutely. An Ogre who solves every problem by smashing the floor? Obviously. Pick your three-unit loadout, then draft reinforcements from chests and the backpacks of your fallen enemies. ABILITIES WIN FIGHTS Your troops handle the punching, but YOU drop the big moments. Blink an Assassin behind enemy lines (nothing personal), unleash a Mage blast, or panic-heal your whole squad with a Cleric just in time. GRAB EVERYTHING THAT GLOWS Poison Flasks, Lightning Orbs, Mana Shields -- loot is scattered across the map and it absolutely breaks fights open. Spot a portal? Take it. Watchtower? Climb it. If it looks useful, it probably is. THE MAP IS TRYING TO KILL YOU Ring by ring, the hex grid crumbles into nothing. That cozy corner you've been looting? Gone. Move or fall. TWO MINUTES, ALL THE DRAMA Matches are fast. Progression isn't. Unlock new units, level your favorites, tweak your loadout, climb the crown ladder -- then jump back in for one more round. (It's never just one more round.) Download Hex Royale and go smash some hexes!
