I. The art of holding your ground

Simple shapes.
Wonderful complications.

Every wave asks a new question. Where will you stand? What will you build? And how long can a little circle keep the corners at bay?

The golden Champion intercepts a line of triangular enemies while Wards guard the crowned King on a parchment battlefield.

A few field notes.

Is Circle Kingdom free to play?

Yes. The browser campaign is free. The mobile editions include twelve campaign battles, tactical tools, and six training trials without an expansion purchase. Riftcraft and Stormcraft each add six battles through a separate one-time purchase.

Can I play at my own pace?

You can pause a battle whenever you need. The mobile editions have five difficulty settings from Relaxed to Expert, plus text-size, reduced-motion, and mirrored-control options. Every difficulty lets you advance through the campaign.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

You don’t need an account. The browser game needs an internet connection to load and keeps progress in your browser. The mobile editions support offline gameplay, with a connection needed for purchases and restoring store ownership. Saves stay on your device.
