Windowed Realms

Windowed Realms is a kingdom that lives on your desktop. The island sits in a little corner of the screen, your army fights in another window, and you keep working, studying or watching your show while it all happens.

Pawns that work for you

Your pawns chop trees, break rocks and pick fruit. You can hire up to three, and whenever you feel like it, just click a resource and help them gather! Better tools take them to new materials, and your buildings get bigger and prettier with every upgrade. Every now and then the mountain cave lets out a few creatures, and your pawns drop their axes and jump into the fight!

Your army

Train warriors, archers, lancers, priests and peons and, with a bit of luck, recruit heroes. Every piece of gear you hand out shows up on the unit, so no two troops look the same (and some look pretty stylish). Some gear comes in a rare shadow version, and you can make it stronger with enchantments, refining and cards from the creatures you defeat.

Three places to explore

Expeditions play out on their own, room after room. Go through Thornwood, sail to Corsair Coast, where pirates attack from towers, boats and even seahorses, and face the gnome towers of Mistvale. The rooms never end, and the difficulty goes from Easy to Nightmare: you choose how much you want to suffer!

Getting stronger

Each class has its own skill tree. Hit the limit? Your units are reborn stronger and keep going. There's also a creature album to complete, a new challenge every week and a leaderboard to see who got the furthest.
