About This Game

The Mohist is a single-player strategy tower-defense game inspired by the defense of ancient Chinese fortifications. Enemies do not simply follow a fixed lane: they raise ladders, ram gates, fill ditches, undermine walls, manipulate water, and redirect their assault when your defense changes.

Every battle begins with preparation. Shape the route with walls, ditches, gates, towers, ballistae, catapults, and Mohist mechanisms, then position shield troops, spearmen, archers, and engineers. Once combat begins, fortifications break, fire and water reshape the field, and enemy formations search for new openings.

  • A 50-stage campaign spanning generated terrain and historic strongholds
  • Distinct siege methods including ladders, rams, escalade, siege towers, and earthworks
  • Layered defenses using walls, ditches, gates, machinery, fire, and hydraulic works
  • Repair, rebuild, and redeploy between waves
  • Persistent military studies, stage ratings, and reusable defense layouts
  • A six-wave randomized Chaos Challenge

You do not need to hold every stone. Build the battlefield you want the enemy to enter.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Pre-generated AI-assisted content is used in the game and its store materials. The main 2D artwork and store key art were generated with OpenAI ImageGen, then selected, edited, cropped, keyed, resized, laid out, assembled, and integrated by the developer. Battlefield sound effects and eight music tracks were generated by the developer with ElevenLabs and edited for use in the game. Generative AI also assisted with translation and editing of some localization and store copy. No generative AI runs during gameplay, and no player input is sent to an external AI service.
