Read full descriptionHide full description
Typeforge: Twin Cities is a strategic tower defense game built around movable-type fusion. Every tile is more than a resource: combine words into units, fortifications, settlements, and heroes, then shape a defensive civilization of your own. TYPE FUSION, LIVING CIVILIZATION Start with basic type tiles and discover multi-stage recipes. Forge hunters, slingers, granaries, beacon towers, Hero Monuments, and advanced units. Deployment, recall, and fusion upgrades can all change the battle. TWIN-CITY COMPETITION Face an AI rival assembled from rank-appropriate item and equipment loadouts. Both cities defend against synchronized waves, adjust formations, and use tactical items until one city falls. Competitive and cooperative modes are asynchronous AI experiences, not real-time multiplayer. COOPERATIVE DEFENSE Join an AI ally on a shared battlefield. Support fire can cross the central line as both cities face larger waves and powerful bosses. If one city falls, the surviving city must withstand the remaining assault. HEROES OF EAST AND WEST Complete kill, boss, and civilization requirements to ascend a unit along an Eastern or Western legacy. Each hero has distinct skills, levels, signature weapons, and combat effects. ENDLESS CYCLES Enemy types, routes, and bosses evolve over time. Combine area attacks, piercing shots, chain effects, slowing, buffs, naval combat, and fortifications to see how long your civilization can endure. ITEMS AND WEAPONS Active items can turn a critical moment; passive items define long-term strategies. Enemies and bosses may drop weapon fragments for units and heroes. The game supports English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Optional rewarded ads are available and never block core play. A one-time Permanent Ad-Free Chronicle purchase can skip rewarded videos while preserving all original cooldowns, eligibility rules, and usage limits. Restore Purchases is available in Settings.

BUILD A CIVILIZATION Start with villagers and scarce resources. Gather food, wood, gold, and stone; construct a working economy; advance through four ages; and turn an exposed settlement into a fortified medieval city. COMMAND DISTINCT HISTORICAL ARMIES Lead the Scots, English, Vikings, French, Mongols, Byzantines, or Saracens. Every civilization has its own battlefield identity, economic strengths, military bonuses, named units, and castle troops. PLAY 48 STORY CAMPAIGN CHAPTERS Experience seven chronological campaigns inspired by documented medieval history: • William Wallace and the Scottish rising • Henry V from Harfleur to the Treaty of Troyes • Harald Hardrada from exile to Stamford Bridge • Joan of Arc from Chinon to Compiègne • Chinggis Khan from survival on the steppe to empire • Alexios Komnenos and the recovery of Byzantium • Saladin from Egypt to Jerusalem and the Third Crusade Historical outcomes are respected. Defeats, retreats, captures, and last stands remain part of the story instead of being rewritten as easy victories. Tactical layouts and dialogue are dramatized for play. FIGHT YOUR WAY Train infantry, archers, cavalry, monks, siege engines, and civilization-specific elite troops. Build walls, towers, gates that open for friendly units, castles, and wonders. Use formations, rally points, control groups, terrain, rivers, cliffs, and multiple difficulty levels to shape every battle. DESIGNED FOR TOUCH A scalable landscape HUD, contextual controls, tooltips, minimap, pause menu, local save slots, and touch-first selection make a full real-time strategy game practical on phones and tablets. Mouse and keyboard controls are also supported on the web version. PLAY OFFLINE, WITHOUT DARK PATTERNS StoneSiege is a complete single-player game. It has no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking, loot boxes, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. Campaign progress, settings, and saved matches remain on your device. StoneSiege is built in public as an open-source historical strategy game. Learn more and play the web version at stonesiegegame.com.
