Hold the castle wall with a hail of arrows
A lone archer stands on a stone castle tower in Kingdom Defense, and a march of monsters, from skeleton troops to green-haired ghouls, heads for the gate below. Tap to send arrows into the crowd, call on ice and fire powers when the pressure builds, and keep the castle's life bar from draining. Let it hit zero and the level ends in defeat.
How to play Kingdom Defense
- Press Play Game, then tap once the 'Level 1, tap to play' sign appears to start the battle.
- Aim each arrow by clicking or tapping toward the attackers.
- Use the power buttons in the bottom corners, such as ice and fire, when several monsters close in.
- Keep the castle's life bar at the bottom above zero; if it empties, the level ends in defeat.
Controls
| Click / tap | Shoot an arrow at the attackers |
|---|---|
| Power buttons | Trigger special shots such as ice and fire |
Tips to play better
- Always deal with the attacker nearest the gate first, even if a bigger target waits farther back.
- Start shooting while the monsters are still crossing the open field; every one you drop early never reaches the gate.
- Treat ice and fire as emergency tools: spend them on a cluster of attackers at the gate, not on a lone straggler.
- Check the life bar between shots so you know how much more punishment the gate can take.

Kingdom Defense FAQ
Who attacks the castle?
Cartoon monsters: the title screen shows skeleton soldiers and a hulking brute, and in play green-haired ghouls with health bars march on the gate. Bright colors keep the battles looking more playful than grim.
How does a level end in defeat?
Monsters that reach the gate wear down the castle's life bar at the bottom of the screen. When it drops to zero, DEFEAT fills the screen and you can try the level again.
