How it plays

easy to learn, deep to master

Every fight is a puzzle of order and timing. Played Defenders of Texel? You'll feel right at home.

  1. Build your band Nine fighters on a 3×3 grid. Mix tribes, classes and elements into a squad that suits your style.
  2. Swipe three lines Each swipe primes a line of three. The order you swipe is the order they attack, so plan your openers and finishers.
  3. Hit FIGHT Skills charge as fighters see battle. Time them right to poison, confuse, taunt and execute your way to victory.

The world of Exelon

read the full lore →

Three ancient tribes, each bound to the magic and natural resources of the realm. One war that left scars on all of them.

Zanel

humanoid

The backbone of Exelon's society. Builders of a mighty empire, commanders of vast armies and merchant guilds, and trailblazers of Exelon's future through sheer innovation.

Flurel

mythical

From fire-breathing dragons to divine demi-gods. Steeped in the realm's innate magic, they serve as protectors and guides to all who dwell in Exelon.

Hafel

hybrid

Half-human, half-mythical, sovereign at the remote edges of the world. Endlessly adaptable, they forge bonds with nature no other tribe can.

The Exolith war is over. Its shadow is not.

Mechanical invaders reshaped Exelon's land and spirit. Now the Exomorphs have emerged, an uncanny fusion of Exolith tech and Exelite flesh. Who are they? What do they seek?
