Tap a fort. Send an army. Take the whole map. Fort Wars is a real-time strategy game you play with one thumb. Every building trains troops on its own — you just tap your forts, tap a target, and watch your soldiers march down the roads to capture it. Conquer every building on the map to win. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap your buildings to select them • Tap an enemy or neutral building to attack • Each tap sends half your garrison — tap again to send another wave • Take every building to win the level WHY IT FEELS GOOD • Matches last 1–3 minutes. Your first conquest takes 20 seconds. • Every unit is worth exactly one unit. No hidden math. • Every hit and reinforcement floats a visible number, so you always know why you won or lost. • No stalemates. If a match drags, the map itself escalates until someone wins. REAL STRATEGY UNDERNEATH • Roads are the whole map — ambush enemy squads mid-march • Cut a supply convoy and watch their attack collapse • Upgrade a tower into a Camp that trains twice as fast • Or into a Fort whose walls cut incoming attacks to 60% • Face two or three rival armies at once, and let them bleed each other 300 LEVELS A hand-tuned campaign that grows with you, from a twenty-second opener to sprawling fortress islands. Three difficulties: Relaxed loses to steady play, Standard is a satisfying march, and Ruthless punishes greed. NO ADS. NO PURCHASES. NO TIMERS. No banner ads. No pop-ups between levels. No energy meters. No in-app purchases. Plays completely offline. The only currency is stars, and the only pressure is beating par. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Colorblind-safe palette, reduced motion mode, separate music and sound switches, optional haptics, and generous tap targets. Free. Offline. Yours.
Ageforge

Ageforge is a pocket real-time strategy game for one thumb. Your realm is a little island of holds (villages, forts and mines) joined by roads. Grow it from Wood to Steam and take the island from your rivals. Every hold you own musters troops over time. Swipe from one of your holds to another to send a marching column down the road; columns fight whatever they meet on the way. There's no unit micromanagement: you decide where to march, what to build and when to advance. • Build: tap a hold to raise a Farm (faster muster), Barracks (stronger troops), a Tower (defends and shoots at passing columns) or a Market (gold) • Advance: spend gold to lead your realm through four ages, Wood, Stone, Iron and Steam, each with stronger troops and new buildings such as siege workshops and steam engines • Battles last 3–6 minutes against AI rivals, made for a bus stop or a coffee break • Three factions, each with its own perks Three ways to play • Campaign: 30 battles across 3 chapters, with stars to earn in every battle • Skirmish: random maps against AI rivals • Daily Battle: the same map for everyone each day, with a daily streak to keep • Portrait, one-handed play • Plays fully offline, with no account • Haptics and synthesized sound • In English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) • No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking Campaign Chapter 1 (10 battles), Skirmish against one rival, the Daily Battle and one faction are free. The Full Realm is a one-time purchase that opens Chapters 2 and 3 (20 more battles), all three factions, and skirmishes with up to three rivals on large maps. Family Sharing included.
