Skull Siege

1 knight. 30,000 skeletons. One night at a time.

By day, Skull Siege is calm. You ride a small knight around an island kingdom and drop gold coins into fixed build slots: houses, fields, towers, walls, a log-roller, a moat. Hold a button at a slot to pay. That's the whole build menu.

At dusk the dead rise from the grave fields. Night one brings two thousand rattling skeletons with ember eyes. Night five brings thirty thousand, pouring through the gap in the ridge toward your keep.

Hold the line

You don't command an army. You are the last rider. Your lance strikes on its own; you choose where to ride. Gallop to trample a furrow, then Charge and skewer a whole line of bones at once. Your towers rake the pile at the gap, the log-roller sweeps it and the moat slows it. Hold out until First Light, when the rising sun closes in on the keep and burns the stragglers to dust.

Features

• A real horde. Over ten thousand skeletons on screen at once, moving as one crowd: they pile up at the gap, part around your horse and spill over the moat.
  
• Be the knight. An auto-thrusting lance, a trample sprint, and a Charge that breaks hundreds of bones in two seconds.
  
• Build simply. One currency and fixed slots. Towers branch into Rapid or Heavy, then into Blight Spire or Ricochet.
  
• Blight Spire. A green bolt infects the thickest part of the crowd. The infected turn back, spread it, and burst.
  
• A choice every dawn. A perk, a one-night blessing, or a risky deal: double gold for a double horde.
  
• Seven kinds of dead. Rattlers flood the keep, Skullrunners rush it, Bonewings fly over the walls at your towers and houses, Bone Brutes smash towers, Bone Knights shrug off your lance, Bannermen hurry the crowd and Bone Catapults shell you from afar.
  
• Starts at the peak. Your first launch drops you into the last night of a finished kingdom, two seconds after you press Play.
