About

Magekeep Siege

Features
Read full description

Hold the tower. Grow the keep. Raid the seas. Magekeep Siege is a 3D hex-citadel sim. You are the warden of a living island โ€” farms, lumber, mines, houses, and barracks tick in real time, even while you are away. Wave defense is one activity of that citadel, not the whole game. BUILD THE HEX KEEP โ€ข Place farms, mills, mines, houses, markets, taverns, and barracks on a hex island โ€ข Chop wall groves, bridge to nearby islets, and upgrade plots up to level 6 โ€ข Food, wood, iron, and gold keep producing for up to 8 hours while you are gone HIRE AND RAID โ€ข Hire knights from the castle once a farm is running โ€ข March them against other players' keep snapshots โ€ข Win gold โ€” or send them to rest if the raid fails DEFEND THE WALLS โ€ข Your mage holds the battlements against rogues, slimes, and warbands โ€ข Draft blessings, cast Inferno / Frost / Storm, and grow the roof mage โ€ข Outposts, biomes, and prestige sigils deepen a long run This is an original Balcony Games title. Combat, keep economy, knight raids, and the first-session citadel tutorial were built for Magekeep โ€” not a reskin of a wave-defense template.

About

Smash Dash RTS

Features
Read full description

Build your base. Give the orders. Take the battlefield. Smash Dash RTS puts you in direct command of individual units and whole groups in real-time strategy battles designed to last around five minutes. Capture territory, outmaneuver other players or AI opponents, and challenge friends to private 1v1 matches. BUILD, DEFEND AND EXPAND Capture tiles to expand your territory. Place walls and defensive weapons, protect your base and choose when to push forward. Collapsing base shields change the opening battle as protected areas gradually shrink. COMMAND YOUR FORCES Deploy tanks, aircraft and specialist units. Select individual units or groups, position your defenses and use orbital weapons to turn the battle. Different battlefields bring variety to every encounter. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Add friends, arrange private 1v1 battles and meet in a private room before the match. Compare player stats and communicate through preset messages. LEARN OFFLINE Learn the controls in the guided offline tutorial, then experiment with units and tactics in the offline Target Range. The game follows your device language, and you can switch languages in Settings. PROGRESS AND PERSONALIZE Complete quests, progress through seasonal rewards and customize your battlefield identity with army colorways and other cosmetics. REPLAY AND SHARE Revisit completed matches in your Battle Log. Choose your highlights, export a video and share your battles with friends. An internet connection is required for multiplayer. Optional in-app purchases are available.
