Lords Mobile is IGG's kingdom-war strategy game, released on 14 March 2016 for Android, iOS and Steam. You build up a castle in a fantasy world whose heroes range from dwarves and mermaids to dark elves and steampunk robots.
The loop is familiar for the genre: upgrade buildings, research, train troops and level heroes. A five-hero team works through an RPG-style campaign, while army battles turn on four troop types, six formations and a counter system. Guilds fight each other in territory expeditions, and there are separate PvP modes such as the Army Colosseum.
It fits players who will log in daily and play alongside an active guild. The game is free but built around in-app purchases, and castle growth stretches over months.
