From the Devs

The Monarch is a Kingdom-like strategy game that has minimalistic control & smooth gameplay with power-up aspects. The gates of hell open each night, terrorizing the land. As the player, you must find a way to destroy the gates and defend your lands in the process!

Gather coins, recruit peasants, train units, build powerful structures, gain power-ups, and adapt!

Can you bring peace to the land?

If you take a hit, you lose a coin. Hold a few extra coins in your pouch just to be safe!
Build and upgrade your walls as soon as possible!
Try to recruit at least 1 peasant every day!
The forest is dangerous at night; watch out!
