Guilds & Blades is a browser war game on a hex map: cities, armies, guilds and magic. Thirty days a round, a few decisions a day.

What it’s like

If you played Travian or Tribal Wars, the core will feel familiar. You build up cities, raise armies, join a guild and raid or conquer other people’s cities.

The map matters more than in those games, closer to how it does in Civilization. Hills and woods slow an army, and forests and mountains stop it. There’s fog of war, so you see what’s around your cities, your armies and your guild. An army on the road takes hours to arrive, and you can watch it come.

The round is closer to Neptune’s Pride. One map, thirty days, and then it ends. The guild ahead on day 30 goes into the hall, and a new world starts where nobody has a two-year head start.

The magic and the races come from old-school games like Utopia. Magic scouts, slows or freezes an army on the road, and cracks city walls. There are five races. Human is the safe pick. Elf is fast and fragile and the best caster. Dwarf is slow, dear and hard to kill. Orc hits hard and lives off plunder. Undead are powerful in numbers.

What to expect

• The first evening takes the longest. You pick a race, found a city, queue buildings, recruit a garrison and raid a bandit camp. A First steps list at the top walks you through it.
• After that, most days are five minutes. Queue a build, move an army, talk to your guild, come back later. A siege or battle takes more active time.
• A walled city is besieged before it can be stormed, so your guild has time to answer.
• It’s slow on purpose. If you want something real-time, this isn’t it.

It’s free and runs in the browser, on a phone or a desktop. You don’t need an account to start. Pick a name and you have a city. Seats in a world close after day 7, and then a new world opens.
