About

War Huts

Read full description

One world. Everyone on the same map. War Huts is a strategy and war game where you build a village from nothing, train an army and fight real players for territory โ€” no separate servers, no restarts. The map grows in rings as more people arrive. BATTLES YOU WATCH Place every unit on a grid before you march: the front line holds, the back line shoots. Then watch the whole battle play out, blow by blow, and let the replay tell you what went wrong. YOUR VILLAGE, FROM THE FIRST PLOT TO THE CASTLE Twenty plots, a square in the middle and twenty-seven buildings to raise. Every house trains its own troops and makes them stronger with each level. A LIVING MAP Deposits guarded by creatures, monsters that respawn somewhere else, fish shoals that belong to whoever gets there first, and nests where you tame a pet to work in your village. CLANS Join a clan, donate troops to the shared army and take collection points that pay out every hour. At the citadels, clans fight for the throne of the region in a weekly tournament. ONE HUNDRED INVASIONS A campaign against the other side of the veil, one stage at a time. Winning unlocks the Underworld race, which feeds on Enemy Soul instead of food. SEASONS Every win against another player is worth Glory, and Glory is the ranking. Fourteen ranks, in-game Gold rewards every two months and permanent titles for anyone who finishes on the podium. No energy bar and no forced waiting: everything keeps happening while the game is closed.

THE GARDEN IS AT WAR. Beneath every flower bed, two colonies fight for every inch of ground. Lead yours. Deploy your swarm, seize the battlefield and bring the enemy colony down. Every insect you send claims ground for your colony. Every inch you lose brings the enemy closer. Think fast, strike hard, take the garden. YOUR SWARM, YOUR WAY Rushers, spitters, tanks, flyers, whole swarms. Pick five fighters and your spells, and build a lineup nobody sees coming. Send a burrowing assassin beneath the battlefield to strike where the enemy least expects it. Just hope they didn't bring a sonar bug. HOLD THE GROUND You can only summon on ground you own. Push forward, capture build slots and raise catapults, wasp nests, poison mushrooms and healing mushrooms. Lose ground, and your options vanish with it. TURN THE GARDEN INTO A WEAPON Shake the earth. Flood the field. Freeze the enemy solid. Call down a diving bird or scorch their swarm through a magnifying glass. Flyers laugh at floods. Tanks shrug off lightning. Knowing who fears what wins battles. 40 LEVELS, EVERY ONE DIFFERENT Rivers, bridges and stepping stones change how you attack and defend. Ground troops must find a way around. Flyers go straight over. Your plan has to adapt. CLIMB THE ARENA Take your strongest swarm into ranked Arena battles across ice, desert, autumn and night worlds. Win trophies, rise through the leagues and fly your own banner. How far can your colony climb? BREAK THE GUARDS. FACE THE MANTIS. Two guards protect the enemy base. Bring them down, and the mantis herself steps into the fight. FINISH IT IN STYLE Winning is good. Winning in style is better. Drop an anvil. Swat with a newspaper. Blast them away with a leaf blower. Or let a chameleon tongue do the rest. Can your colony rule the garden? Free to play. No account needed. Your progress stays on your device.
