How Knights Are Made

What is the best way to become stronger? Train harder!

In How Knights Are Made you take on a role of a head army manager in a regular medieval castle that is being attacked by hordes of monsters. Make decisions on who to recruit, what facilities to build and upgrade, and how to manage your small but mighty (if you train your knights hard) army!

How to play:

• Recruit valiant knights by clicking the buttons in the bottom-left of your screen. 
• After they run a lap, choose to let them continue training (additional level-ups) or jump into battle and defend the castle.
• As you slay enemies, you accumulate gold. Spend it by clicking the buttons in the bottom-right of your screen to purchase upgrades. 
• If the castle defenses fall, you lose. If the last way has been defeated, you win!
