BitKing

Raise a medieval army, upgrade every soldier, and turn a single castle into a kingdom.

RECRUIT AN ARMY

Nineteen troop types, from shield bearers and spearmen to longbows, ballistae, war elephants and golems. Each has its own reach, speed and role in the line: heavy infantry holds the front, archers press from the back, cavalry and assassins swing around the flank. Keep up to three of each and decide what your line looks like.

SEND THEM TO BATTLE

Five challengers are drawn up every round, from easy prey to armies several times your strength. Study the matchup, pick your fight, and watch the two lines meet. Win and you take the bounty in gold. Every opponent in the game is computer-controlled.

SPEND GOLD ON YOUR TROOPS

Gold has exactly one use: making your soldiers better. Twenty levels per troop type, each one adding health, damage, attack speed, movement and range. A veteran shield bearer holds a line that a fresh recruit cannot.

BUILD YOUR CITY

Raise the Castle and the rest follows: worker huts, lumber mills, quarries, a warehouse, a vault, a training ground. Assign workers, queue construction crews, research upgrades that raise your output and your battle bounty. The Castle level sets how far everything else can go.

TOWER RUSH

Turn the phone sideways for a five-minute real-time skirmish: seven towers on one map, you against three computer legions. Take towers, capture mines, crack open crates, upgrade your keeps and hold the lead until the clock runs out. Your finishing place pays out in gold.

WHILE YOU ARE AWAY

Your troops keep producing gold and your city keeps gathering wood and stone. Come back to a full ledger, daily quests and a seven-day sign-in.

PLAYS ANYWHERE

No account, no sign-up, no internet connection needed. Nothing is uploaded, and your progress is saved on your device only, so deleting the app deletes your kingdom with it.
