A realm in chaos, and three minutes is all it takes. samguk.io is a 3-to-5-minute .io battlefield: raise your banner with a single general, absorb soldiers, storm castles, and unite the land. โ–ถ One finger, three minutes, one war Drive your horde with the joystick and wanderers and routed soldiers rally to your banner. Collide with an enemy army and the fight is on. No button combos, no long tutorials. โ–ถ Break them and they join you Defeated soldiers do not vanish. The enemy banner snaps, the soldiers kneel, and they turn your color. Thirty men become a screen-filling horde. โ–ถ Duels: settled by might When two generals meet, time slows for a one-on-one bout. Blows are traded, a winner is decided, and the loser's army wavers. Lรผ Bu's halberd, Guan Yu's Green Dragon blade: the gap in might is settled by a single duel. โ–ถ The gate opens: the climax always comes After three minutes the castle gate opens. The gatekeeper's final host pours out, and every run ends in battle. There is no losing by timeout. โ–ถ 58 regions, one realm Rise in Zhuo and defeat the gatekeeper holding each region. Every region you take is painted in your color on the world map. Paint all 58 and the realm is yours. Defeated gatekeepers join the field from the next run on. โ–ถ Form up before you march, grow on the field Read the triangle of infantry, archers and cavalry and set your formation. Terrain, morale, provisions, and the warhorses and war manuals you pick up make every session different. โ–ถ Your nemesis always returns Lose, and the general who beat you is marked as your nemesis and appears next run. Take revenge for double the reward. Retry straight from the results screen, zero wait. We sell only cosmetics and time. Combat power is never for sale. * Available in English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional) and Korean. * A work of fiction inspired by Romance of the Three Kingdoms; it may differ from history.

About

BoneFall

Read full description

The dead come in waves. You have one thumb and forty-five seconds until the next one. Bonefall is a survival horde game for a phone held in one hand. Move with the stick, drink when you must โ€” everything else your character does on its own. Every forty-five seconds the ground gives up more of them: skeletons with swords, orcs with axes, and every tenth wave something that was buried in armour. THREE WAYS TO FIGHT A warrior who holds the line and clears what surrounds him. An archer who trades armour for distance and volume. A mage whose staff only keeps him alive while his spells do the killing. Each carries its own weapon, its own skill tree and its own reason to die differently. TREES THAT MAKE YOU CHOOSE A hundred nodes across the classes, in tiers behind gates. Ranks, not toggles: put five points into one blow or spread them thin. Nothing leaves your pool until you confirm it, so a plan can be laid out and taken back. LOOT THAT CHANGES THE NUMBERS Weapons in five rarities with affixes that add up. Boxes bought with what the dead dropped, opened on the spot. Every stat on the sheet is the sum of what you are carrying and what you spent, and both are shown before you commit. MADE FOR THE HAND, NOT THE DESK Portrait. One thumb on the stick, potions where the other thumb rests. The interface is laid out inside the safe area, so nothing hides under the island or the home bar. NO STRINGS No account. No connection. No timers waiting for you to come back. Start it on a train and it plays.
