About

Calamity Kingdom

Features
Read full description

Calamity Kingdom is a fantasy resource-management game born at the Minsk Global Game Jam 2016. It all started with soup. The Archmage was just trying to cook dinner — but one wrong ingredient later, a calamity curse came crashing down on the entire kingdom. Oops. Now the realm's survival is in your hands. Travel from town to town, face a parade of absurd disasters — rampaging monsters, plagues, curses and worse — and pick the perfect counterspell for each one. Spend your mana wisely, keep the king (and the people) on your side, and don't let your reputation rot into darkness. Every choice matters. Save a city today, or save your mana for tomorrow's storm? You can't rescue everyone — so choose well. Will you be remembered as the kingdom's savior… or as the wizard who turned it into a monster-infested wasteland? FEATURES • A whole kingdom of quirky towns to save • Strategic mana & reputation management • Dozens of disasters, each with the right (and very wrong) counterspell • Quick, replayable runs — easy to learn, tough to master • Hand-crafted, absurd fantasy humor • Born at the Global Game Jam • 100% free, forever — no ads, no in-app purchases, no catch The soup is ruined. The kingdom isn't — yet. Grab your staff and start casting!

About

War Huts

Read full description

One world. Everyone on the same map. War Huts is a strategy and war game where you build a village from nothing, train an army and fight real players for territory — no separate servers, no restarts. The map grows in rings as more people arrive. BATTLES YOU WATCH Place every unit on a grid before you march: the front line holds, the back line shoots. Then watch the whole battle play out, blow by blow, and let the replay tell you what went wrong. YOUR VILLAGE, FROM THE FIRST PLOT TO THE CASTLE Twenty plots, a square in the middle and twenty-seven buildings to raise. Every house trains its own troops and makes them stronger with each level. A LIVING MAP Deposits guarded by creatures, monsters that respawn somewhere else, fish shoals that belong to whoever gets there first, and nests where you tame a pet to work in your village. CLANS Join a clan, donate troops to the shared army and take collection points that pay out every hour. At the citadels, clans fight for the throne of the region in a weekly tournament. ONE HUNDRED INVASIONS A campaign against the other side of the veil, one stage at a time. Winning unlocks the Underworld race, which feeds on Enemy Soul instead of food. SEASONS Every win against another player is worth Glory, and Glory is the ranking. Fourteen ranks, in-game Gold rewards every two months and permanent titles for anyone who finishes on the podium. No energy bar and no forced waiting: everything keeps happening while the game is closed.
