Fall of the King
Fall of the King drops you into the role of a beleaguered monarch whose walls are about to be tested like never before. Each assault wave brings a fresh mix of infantry, cavalry, and monstrous siege engines, forcing you to rethink your defensive line every time. You'll oversee every layer of your fortress, from the parapets where bowmen rain arrows down to the courtyard where your heaviest fighters brace for breaches. It's a constant puzzle of placement, timing, and resource allocation, where a single misstep can leave your throne exposed. What sets this siege apart is the freedom to adapt your strategy on the fly. You can reinforce weak spots with extra troops, trigger explosive glyphs at choke points, or pull soldiers back to regroup when the pressure becomes too intense. Gold flows in steadily but never abundantly, so every upgrade and summon carries real weight. The battlefield evolves with each wave, introducing new unit types and environmental hazards that demand quick thinking rather than a memorized routine. The goal isn't just survival—it's proving that your rule deserves to outlast the storm.

What is Fall of the King
Your castle is the last line between you and a merciless horde. Rally your defenders, spend wisely, and hold the gates through every brutal assault.
How to Play
Position your units before each wave begins, assigning archers to towers and knights to entry points. During combat, activate traps and call reinforcements using the resources you've gathered.
Tips for Playing
- Save your gold for the second half of a wave, when stronger enemies start to appear.
- Use narrow corridors to funnel enemies into overlapping fire from multiple archer towers.
- Keep at least one reserve unit off the battlefield to plug unexpected gaps.
- Upgrade your gate early—it buys precious seconds when the front line crumbles.
