Defend your castle. Master the elements. Command your army. Battle Tower is a side-view strategy duel. Tap the battlefield to cast spells, send troops through your gates and destroy the enemy castle before yours falls. FOUR SPELLS, DISTINCT TACTICS Burn clustered enemies with Fireball, strike a priority target with Lightning, slow a push with Frost or heal your wounded troops. Spend gold on your army and save mana for the moment that changes the battle. SEVEN AGES TO MASTER Progress through the Medieval Age, Modern Age, Advanced Age, Hero Era, Frontier Age, Age of Olympus and Radiant Age. Command swordsmen and dragons, tanks and aircraft, Hero Era champions, Olympian legends and shielded Radiant armies. New ages bring new tactics, while earlier rosters remain available in battles with era advancement. BUILD YOUR COUNTERS Archers hunt fliers, pikemen stop cavalry and fire suppresses regeneration. Upgrade troops and choose specializations that change how they fight. Reinforce your castle, grow your economy and read your opponent's army to find its weakness. THREE BATTLEFIELDS, FIVE DIFFICULTIES Fight across Meadow, Frostpeak and Dunes, where hills block shots and positioning matters. Work up from Easy to Ultra Extreme. Customize spell restrictions, eras, economy and castle rules. Difficulty income modifiers are shown in the game. FRIENDS, RANKINGS AND BEST TIMES Invite friends or share a four-letter room code for an unranked duel. Join ranked matchmaking and climb from Recruit to TowerKing. Track your fastest AI victories and compare clear times on the leaderboards. Start offline as a guest in the Medieval Age on Easy. A free account opens online play and single-player progression: every win opens the next difficulty, from Easy up to Ultra Extreme, and beating all five opens the next age. Online features require an internet connection. No loot boxes. No energy meters. Just one more battle.
