Kingshaven

They built their walls high.
They never looked up.

You are the dragon. Kingshaven is a whole port city in voxels: a castle on the hill, a cathedral, a harbour full of ships, a river, markets and farms, all of it waiting under a dusk sky.

Breathe fire on anything, hurl fireballs, and watch roofs, towers and spires come down. The city fights back the whole time.

The lighthouse and harbour mouth at Kingshaven, ships at anchor and the city behindThe harbour mouth

A castle, a cathedral
and a harbour full of ships.

Castle Highcrown on the hill, the Cathedral of Saint Aurelia, the Guildhall, the Sea Bastion, the Old Bridge, the river Lanthe and the farms beyond the walls. Every building is made of voxels, and every one can burn.

How to burn a city

Fly, breathe
and hurl.

Take
wing.

The mouse looks and steers. W to surge, S to brake to a hover, arrows to climb and dive, Q and E to rise and sink.

C looks behind you.

Hold click or F to pour fire on anything below. Roofs catch, then the houses under them.

One mouse button is enough.

A fireball blowing a tower apart beside the dragonHurl

Space
for a fireball.

Fireballs hit hard and blow things apart: towers, walls and the big stone landmarks.

R lets out a roar.

Ballistas firing from the harbour defences at the dragon

They’ll fight back.

Ballistas take aim from the walls and towers, fireboats spray the harbour fires, siege-tower fire engines douse the streets and reinforcements keep coming.

Mender wizards rebuild what you burn. Burn it anyway.

Pick a target

Castle, cathedral,
harbour, streets.

The HUD tracks the three big districts, Castle, Cathedral and Harbour, and how much of Kingshaven you’ve burned. The streets in between burn fastest.

Castle, Cathedral, Harbour and the streets of Kingshaven.
Burn it anyway

Down to
ash.

Claim the Great Deeds as you go: topple the cathedral spire, bring down the Guildhall tower, break the Keep of Highcrown, shatter the Sea Bastion, blow the powder magazine and sink the fleet.
