BONEGATE

Skeletons march in waves down the West, East and South roads: minions, archers, shield warriors, mages who raise the fallen, brutes, and at the end of a chapter the Brute Lord or the Bone King. Your hero attacks whatever comes in reach. You choose where to stand, what to fight and when to fire your skills. The road you hold is yours: the bots guard the others and come running when one of your gates starts to break.

Every kill pays gold. Run back to the castle to spend it. The Forge sells stronger weapons, armor and boots. The Tomes tower teaches your second skill and your ultimate, makes every skill stronger, and sells a healing potion. At a gate you can repair the walls or build and upgrade its tower.

When a gate falls, the skeletons plant a Bone Banner in the rubble, and it keeps calling more of them. Break the banner and the gate rebuilds itself: retaking gates is how a losing battle turns around. Every third wave, choose one of three blessings, such as Lifesteal, Twin Cast or Fortify Gates.

Five chapters of 6 to 12 waves, each ending with a boss. Win with the castle at half health or better and every outer gate standing for three stars.

Play online right away: bots fill the empty seats, and a friend with your invite link takes a bot's place, even in the middle of a battle. When a battle ends, the same room goes straight into the next one. No connection? You play with bots, and the battle still counts when you are back online.

Every battle pays XP and Glory, win or lose. Level up to unlock the Ranger, Mage, Barbarian and Rogue, spend Glory on six Keep upgrades that help every battle you lead, finish three daily quests for a chest, keep a daily streak, and collect the treasury that fills while you are away.
