About This Game

King Charles is a fast-paced, dog-powered survival action game where every minute matters. Dodge relentless swarms, collect XP and gold, and build a devastating loadout through quick card choices and permanent upgrades. The longer you survive, the more intense the hunt becomes—especially when miniboss waves start arriving.

How it plays

You fight automatically while you focus on movement, positioning, and smart upgrade decisions. Defeat enemies to drop XP and gold, grab healing hearts when luck is on your side, and keep scaling your power to survive escalating waves.

Key Features

  • Survival arena action: Constant enemy pressure with increasing difficulty over time

  • Auto-attacks + skillful movement: You aim with your choices; you survive with your positioning

  • Card-based upgrades: Pick from upgrade cards as you level up and shape your build

  • Multiple weapon styles: Mix and match different weapons and effects to create powerful combinations

  • Permanent progression via Dog House upgrades: Unlock long-term boosts like XP gain, gold gain, global weapon damage, movement speed, max health, and luck

  • Luck system: Higher luck improves the odds of stronger upgrade rolls—without guaranteeing perfection

  • Miniboss waves: Every 3 minutes, minibosses arrive in increasing numbers and drop major rewards

  • Big rewards for big threats: Minibosses drop large XP and gold bundles when defeated

Survive longer, upgrade smarter, and turn King Charles into an unstoppable legend.
