About This Game

Forge the army. Command the war. Hold the wall. You are the king, and you do all three.

King Must Rush is a medieval roguelite where you play the king himself. Down at the anvil, up in the command tower, and out on the front line when the gate breaks. Every run is a new campaign to save your kingdom, and every defeat sends you back stronger.

FORGE

• Beat the clock. Every wave gives you a short window to run your city before the horn sounds.

• Craft every weapon by hand. Short skill minigames at the anvil. Play it well and the blade comes out sharper.

• Quality wins fights. How clean you forge is how hard your soldiers hit.

• Arm your people. Hand a villager a blade and he joins the line. No army survives the wave, so every battle your village has to raise a new one.

• Field a mixed host. Swords, spears, bows, cavalry, each with a job to do.

COMMAND

• Run the battle in real time. Formations, stances, charges, all from the tower.

• Rock, paper, steel. Sword beats spear, spear beats cavalry, cavalry beats archer, archer beats sword. Read the enemy, then answer.

HOLD

• Raise walls on the fly. Drag ramparts across the field and line them with archers.

• Break the siege. Gates fall and the horde grows every wave. You just have to grow faster.

EVERY RUN IS A NEW ROAD

• Choose your path. Between waves your scouts report a branching map of threats. Climb it your way, up to the enemy commander.

• Draft your powers. Grab a run-changing buff after every fight.

• Keep what you earn. Fall, then spend Royal Medals on a permanent tree that carries into every attempt after.

CROWD-SCALE WAR

• Hundreds of soldiers, one field. Custom crowd AI keeps a late siege smooth, so it feels like a real army breaking on your gate.

Forge it. Command it. Hold the line. The kingdom is yours to lose.
