Tides of Empires

From the Devs

Two empires. One sea. Only one fleet sails home victorious.

Tides of Empires is a tower defense roguelite game and brings the genre something it almost never has: real, ranked competitive multiplayer — plus co-op. Defend your base on your own shore, carry the war to the enemy across the water, and prove your strategy is the sharpest one afloat. Summon warships, aircraft and submarines, build your turrets, unleash devastating abilities and upgrade them all.

⚓ MULTIPLAYER — YOUR STRATEGY VS. REAL OPPONENTS

Unleash your fleet, master your strategy, and face players from around the world in massive naval battles.

Ranked — climb the ladder

- 1v1 and 2v2 with fair, MMR-based matchmaking

- Climb the MMR leaderboard: solo in 1v1, or in 2v2 where you invite a friend and push your MMR together — maybe your two names will soon sit at the very top of the world leaderboard

Casual — duel at your own pace

- 1v1 and 2v2 in Quick Match, no pressure

- Same here: invite a friend and jump into a laid-back 2v2 as a team

Private Matches — your rules

- Invite friends and set your own custom settings

🤝 DUO SURVIVAL — SURVIVE TOGETHER

- Two players, one endless onslaught, full co-op

- Share the pressure as the enemy throws more and more at you

- Chase your best team time side by side — and storm to #1 on the global Duo leaderboard together

🗺️ CAMPAIGN — MASTER EVERY BATTLE

- Take on a thoughtfully designed, challenging campaign with various stages across three difficulties — Easy, Medium, Hard

- Demanding boss fights that test everything you've learned

- A steady climb from your first cannon to full fleet mastery

🌊 SURVIVAL — HOW LONG CAN YOU LAST?

- The enemy sends more and more units at you without end, and the onslaught keeps speeding up

- No finish line — just one question: how long do you survive?

- Push your best time further and fight your way to #1 on the worldwide Survival leaderboard

☠️ BOSS MODE — YOUR CHALLENGE, YOUR RULES

- Face towering bosses with massive HP

- You decide how many bosses to take on in a single run

- From doable to merciless — set your own level of pain

⚡ COMMAND THE BATTLE

- Pick roguelite cards that give you an edge in battle — at regular intervals, from the very first second

- Summon a full war machine: warships, aircraft and submarines

- Build defensive turrets and upgrade them tier by tier

- Unleash an arsenal of powerful abilities: lightning strike, nuke, tsunami, freeze, bombs and more

- Buy game-changing upgrades: more income, a sturdier base, deadlier turrets, stronger troops and mightier abilities

- Spend your gold wisely — every second, the call is yours: summon more units, build the next turret, or grab the next upgrade?

🏆 STORM THE LEADERBOARDS

- Fight your way to the top of three online leaderboards: MMR, Survival (Singleplayer) and Survival (Multiplayer)

- Friends system to squad up and compare

- In the end, only one question matters: is your name at the very top?

🎨 MAKE IT YOURS

- Unlock new maps, UI skins, avatars and troop colors

- Set it all up the way you like: map, fire, smoke and outline effects, camera shake and in-game hints can be toggled on or off, and the camera speed adjusted freely – plus a built-in music player

- Full keyboard menu navigation and accessible options

- Automatic keyboard layout detection (QWERTZ, QWERTY, AZERTY and more): shortcuts match your keyboard – manual selection also available

- Play in 7 languages: EN, DE, TR, FR, ES, RU, PT-BR

Raise the flag, gather your fleet, and rule the tides. The seas are waiting. ⚓

Tides of Empires is inspired by the browser classic Black Navy War — its core idea lives on here, expanded into a full strategy game.
