Island Crusade

Monsters have overrun a hundred islands. Your army lands on the first one with a single peasant. Click the monsters to help your troops, spend the gold they drop on new knights and upgrades, and watch the crusade snowball from a lone farmer into a column of lancers, archers, monks and champions. Every island looks different: meadows, pine forests, swamps, haunted shores.

Recruit twenty knights, each with milestones that double or quadruple their damage. Sound the war horn, loose arrow volleys, call gold rushes and blessings at the right moment. Upgrade the forge, craft equipment, try your luck at the Altar of Fortune to arm your heroes, and grow a collection of shards and relics.

Every island ends with a boss. It makes its entrance under a red banner, and as its timer runs out the edges of the screen pound like a heartbeat. Beat it in time and the army sails to the next shore. If it holds, your knights train and the game tells you which purchase will make you strongest before the next try.

When the crusade stalls, call a new one. A giant golden sword falls from the sky, shatters the island into stars and starts your army again, stronger. You know exactly what you gain: the relics, the permanent bonus they give and what the altar can do with them.

The first strike splits the world open. Beneath the sea lies the Underside: a dark mirror of the kingdom, a sea of blood, ashen land where spores drift up, and corrupted monsters. An army of black knights fights there at the same time as your crusade, and the Black Steward can spend its Ichor for you. Switch worlds in an instant, keep an eye on the other one in a corner of the screen, and spend the Black Blood of its bosses on dark powers that make both armies stronger. Every crusade you complete makes the black army stronger too.

Every day a chest is waiting, more generous over a seven-day streak, along with a challenge of the day, the same for every player: defeat monsters, bring down bosses, land critical strikes...

Island Crusade is built for players who like to make decisions: what to buy next, when to challenge a boss, when to start over. There is no offline progress: your army fights while you watch, and every click counts.
