Medieval War Castle Defense

The siege is here! Steer your hero at the gate, send your army out and smash rams, siege towers and catapults. Topple giant bosses and win legendary loot.

The siege has come. Hold the gate!

Medieval War Castle Defense is an offline medieval castle defense game where you play the hero. The archers and the catapult on your wall fight by themselves, tower defense style. You take the field in front of the gate, steer your hero into the thick of the fight and lead your army against every siege engine the enemy rolls up.

LEAD THE HERO This is hero defense: drag to move, and your hero strikes whatever is closest. Start as the Knight: smash through a crowd with Shield Charge, spin a Whirlwind, then stun everything near with a War Cry. Raise your keep to call the Ranger, who tumbles, fans out arrows and marks foes for the kill, and the Mage, who freezes the field with Frost Nova, hurls Fireballs and brings down a Meteor Storm. Later each hero learns a third skill: the Battle Banner, the Snare Net or Chain Lightning.

COMMAND YOUR ARMY Spend the gold you win in battle to send spearmen, swordsmen, archers and mounted knights out of the gate. One tap switches your army between Follow me, where they form up around your hero, and Hold the gate. Strategy matters: spears stop cavalry, knights break rams, and a mixed army fights harder than one kind alone.

BREAK EVERY SIEGE Every castle siege brings something new: battering rams, ladder crews, shield walls, siege catapults, siege towers and sappers, and each needs a different answer. Before a wave starts you see what is coming and what beats it. Drag a Fire Volley onto the enemy, pour boiling oil on the gate and mount a ballista that shoots through a whole line.

TOPPLE GIANT BOSSES A boss waits at the end of every region: Gorvak the Gatebreaker, Hessa the Pyre Queen, Ironhide the Siege Lord, Morcant the Black Knight and more. Learn their moves, step out of the slam and strike back. When a boss returns, it has learned a new trick.

WIN LOOT, FORGE YOUR GEAR Bosses and their armies drop weapons, armor, helms and rings, from common to legendary, with effects that change how you fight: a Whirlwind that sets enemies on fire, a Frost Nova that freezes them in place. Upgrade your gear at the smithy and salvage what you don't need. Gear is never sold for money: you win every piece in battle.

UPGRADE AFTER EVERY WAVE Between waves you pick your upgrades, and every pick counts. Troop lines fork: braced spears or a pike charge, fire arrows or piercing arrows. Raise your keep to unlock pikemen, crossbowmen, heavy knights, a watchtower and, at the very top, the Gate of Legends. While you are away, your mine digs gold and the ore cart brings it up to the keep.

A MEDIEVAL WAR WITHOUT END Fight on through Green Meadow, Darkwood, Frostpeak Pass, Blackwater Marsh and the Ember Wastes, through blizzards, marsh fog and burning ground. New foes keep coming: halberdiers who stop any charge, war priests who heal, tunnellers who dig under the field and war boars that trample your lines. The weekly castle siege brings two new twists every week, and a daily order sets you a goal with a rare piece of gear as the prize.

PLAY OFFLINE, YOUR WAY Medieval War Castle Defense plays offline, no internet needed. Waves are short, so a battle fits a quick break, and there is no energy to wait for. Ads are optional: watch one only when you want a bonus.
