About The Monarch: First Light
The Monarch: First Light is a minimal-control strategy game with smooth gameplay and power-ups. Each night, gates of hell open and terrorize the land. You gather coins, recruit peasants, train units and build structures while defending your lands and finding a way to destroy the gates.
Defend your lands
Build and upgrade walls, recruit peasants and train units as you prepare for the nightly attacks. The forest is dangerous at night. If you take a hit, you lose a coin, so keeping extra coins in your pouch can help you avoid running short.
Grow your strength
Build powerful structures, gain power-ups and adapt as you work to bring peace to the land.
