Hexhold is a premium minimalist territory strategy game built for clear one-thumb play. Start with a small Capital, claim nearby hexes, earn income, spend gold on units and buildings, and pressure rival teams before they control the board. Every action is deterministic: stronger units beat weaker defenses, income and upkeep are visible, and invalid moves explain why they are blocked. Play a guided campaign to learn capture, economy, defense, and upkeep, then jump into seeded skirmishes or build a custom map in the editor. Four readable teams, colorblind friendly settings, reduced motion, optional haptics, and local only saves keep the focus on tactical decisions instead of clutter. Hexhold is an original strategy game with original rules, maps, names, art direction, and UI language.

HexaThrone — Build, Conquer, and Rule the Realm Enter a tactical world of shifting front lines, fortified strongholds, and strategic conquest. In HexaThrone, every decision can change the balance of power. Command your forces across a colorful hex-based battlefield, capture neutral and enemy structures, and expand your territory one tile at a time. Place new bases in key locations, strengthen your position, and create the perfect network for launching attacks across the map. Your buildings continuously produce units, but victory depends on how you use them. Send troops from one base to another, reinforce threatened positions, surround enemy territory, and overwhelm opposing strongholds before they can respond. Build Your Realm Place bases directly on the battlefield and shape your own strategy. Build near important routes to control movement, establish defensive positions around valuable territory, or construct an aggressive forward base near the enemy. Every building placement matters. A well-positioned base can protect your realm, accelerate your expansion, or become the starting point for a decisive attack. Capture and Expand Move your units between connected locations and take control of structures across the map. Neutral bases can help grow your army, while enemy buildings must be weakened before they can be captured. Choose your targets carefully. Expanding too quickly may leave your territory exposed, while waiting too long can allow your opponent to dominate the battlefield. Outsmart Your Opponent HexaThrone rewards planning, timing, and adaptation. Create multiple attack routes, distract the enemy, defend important strongholds, and identify weak points in their territory. Will you build a heavily defended kingdom, rapidly expand across the map, or launch an all-out assault on the enemy keep?
