Read full description

Build the army history never saw. Then lead it to victory. In Warlore, you draft warriors from across civilizations and eras: Roman legions, Mongol horse archers, Napoleon's grenadiers, World War II paratroopers. Mix them freely, deploy them across three battle fronts, and fight real historical engagements on their actual terrain. DRAFT YOUR ARMY Each run deals you a civilization and era. Pick one unit, lock it into a slot, and draw again. Six slots, six chances to build something brilliant, or dangerously experimental. A Viking berserker alongside a WWI machine gunner? Go ahead. A Janissary dropped by parachute? The fusions reward exactly that kind of madness. DEPLOY ACROSS THREE FRONTS The battle isn't decided by a single roll. Drag your units onto the left flank, center, or right, then watch the line hold or break. Leave a flank undefended and the enemy wheels through and envelops your strongest position. Win a flank decisively and your victors sweep into the next fight. COUNTER THE DOCTRINE Every enemy army fights a doctrine: phalanx wall, cavalry charge, horse-archer swarm, gunpowder line. Scout their strength, read their pattern, and field the roles that hard-counter them. Heavy infantry breaks cavalry. Cavalry runs down archers. Skirmishers harass siege trains. Getting the counters right is the difference between a close win and a perfect 6-0. RESPECT THE TIMELINE Bring a tank to Thermopylae and it sinks to its axles in ground no engineer has paved, a very expensive boulder. Industrial-age tech needs infrastructure that ancient battlefields simply don't have. Chemistry is fair game anywhere (a musket still fires at Cannae), but machinery needs its era. UNLOCK FUSIONS Pair war elephants with air superiority. Weld Mongol mobility to armored firepower. Combine a Roman shield wall with automatic fire. Fusions fire when two matching tech tags appear anywhere in your army, across any civilization or era, and they're tracked in a growing Codex as you discover them. ROGUELIKE STREAK Every win deepens the challenge. The enemy grows stronger with your streak, demanding tighter composition and sharper tactical choices. A 6-0 flawless victory, destroying the enemy roster without losing a single soldier, is the true measure of mastery. Available in English and Turkish.

About

Kingdom Rise

Read full description

Raise a village into an empire. Kingdom Rise is a medieval strategy game about building something that lasts โ€” a city that grows, an army you shaped yourself, and a campaign that keeps asking harder questions. No internet connection required. Play anywhere. BATTLES YOU ACTUALLY FIGHT Combat is not a number comparison. Choose a formation before you march โ€” Vanguard for raw damage, Shieldwall to keep your troops alive, Raiders for loot โ€” then fight the battle as it happens. Call a Rally to heal your line and bring in reinforcements. Land critical strikes. Read the momentum meter and know whether to press or hold. Five troop types counter each other, so a balanced army beats a big one: Infantry โ€” tanky front line, strong against Cavalry Archers โ€” ranged damage, strong against Infantry Cavalry โ€” fast heavy hitters, strong against Archers Siege โ€” slow catapults that deal double damage to bosses Clerics โ€” field medics who heal your wounded mid-battle Every camp shows your real win chance and recommends a tactic before you commit. Bosses enrage below 40% health and telegraph a devastating smash โ€” survive it and the fight turns. A CITY WHERE PLACEMENT MATTERS Build farms, sawmills, mines, houses, barracks and walls, then upgrade them into a working economy. Buildings give adjacency bonuses to their neighbours, so where you place something matters as much as what you place. Watch your villagers walk out, chop wood, mine ore and harvest fields while your kingdom runs itself. AN 18-CAMP CAMPAIGN March through three themed regions, each with its own battlefields, weather and enemies. Camps carry modifiers that force you to adapt โ€” fortified walls, enemy reinforcements, hostile terrain. Claim territory on the world map, defend against raids, and test your best army in the Endless Arena. SURVIVAL SIEGE โ€” HOLD THE GATE Your toughest test. Endless waves of raiders throw themselves at your gate, each wave harder than the last. Your survivors carry between waves, so attrition is real โ€” a bigger, balanced army holds far longer than a big one. Every fifth wave a Warlord leads the charge, enrages below 40% health, and telegraphs a devastating smash. How many waves can you hold? Beat your best to earn gem bonuses, then come back when your garrison has regrouped. HEROES WHO GROW WITH YOU Recruit eight heroes, each with a passive bonus and a unique battle ability. They earn experience by leading your battles โ€” not by draining your wallet โ€” and ascend through five star ranks as they fight. DEEPER SYSTEMS โ€ข 14-technology research tree with advanced tiers to unlock โ€ข Three regional gear sets with set bonuses to hunt โ€ข Wall towers and defence streaks to hold off raiders โ€ข Daily missions, bounties and achievements FAIR AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY โ€ข Free to play, with a guided mission chain so you always know what to do next โ€ข Every objective is reachable without spending โ€” no premium walls in the main quest โ€ข Fully playable offline. No account, no sign-up, no personal data collected โ€ข No gambling, no loot boxes, no objectionable content โ€ข Rewarded ads are always optional and never block progress Build it. Defend it. Rise.
