About Hold the Crown!
The raiders are coming down the roads in huge hordes, and only you can stop them. Hold the Crown mixes castle defense strategy with real hero action: you don't just place towers and wait, you ride out on your white horse, shoot down the enemy, collect their gold and build your defenses in the middle of the fight. Keep your town hall standing until the last wave falls and the crown is yours.
HOW TO PLAY THIS TOWER DEFENSE GAME
★ Touch and drag anywhere to ride. Your bow fires by itself at the nearest raider, even on the move
★ Every raider you defeat drops gold coins: ride over them to collect
★ Stand on a build plot to pour in your gold and raise a tower, a wall or barracks
★ Each new building reveals more plots, so every battle grows its own castle
★ Survive every wave and protect the town hall to win
A HERO KING, NOT A SPECTATOR
Lead from the front. Kite the horde along the road, grab gold from under the raiders' noses and choose in a split second whether to shoot, collect or build. Get knocked down and you're back at the hall a moment later, ready to fight again. It's tower defense with your own hands on the reins.
18 BUILDINGS TO RAISE AND UPGRADE
★ Ballista Towers, Archer Towers, Frost Towers and Mage Towers with chain lightning
★ Catapults and Bombards that blast whole crowds of enemies
★ Palisades with a gate, stone walls, Spike Traps, Fire Pits and a Moat to block the road
★ Barracks, Knight Halls and Stables that send soldiers, knights and riders into battle
★ Markets and Gold Mines for more gold, a Chapel that heals, a War Banner that powers up nearby towers and a Fletcher that upgrades the king's bow
★ Upgrade your Town Hall during the battle so it shoots back
KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Footmen, Runners, Shieldbearers, Raider Archers, Brutes and Battering Rams attack in waves. Runners hunt the king, shields block half your arrows, archers shoot your soldiers, Brutes smash walls and Rams charge the hall. Every wave asks for a different defense strategy.
15 EPIC BOSS BATTLES
Each land has its own boss: the Iron Warlord, the River Reaver, the Hay Golem, the Bog Troll, the Boar Chieftain, the Siege Master, the Fog Witch, the Copper Colossus, the Frost Jarl, the Yeti Matriarch, the Ice Serpent, the Horse Lord, the Dread Knight, the Thorn Sorcerer and finally the Usurper on the throne. Boulders, freezing roars, fog, charges through walls, shields that reflect your arrows: watch each boss wind up, dodge and strike back.
300 LEVELS ACROSS 15 LANDS
Fight from the summer fields of Green Vale through autumn forests, misty marshes, frozen lakes and snowy mountain passes all the way to the Crown Citadel. Battles last about a minute, perfect for a quick game anytime. Hard and Super Hard levels, boss waves and close-call finales keep the challenge growing, and every level is tested to be winnable.
