Hearthtide: Island Defense
Build by day. Defend by night.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Build by day. Defend by night. How many nights can your island village survive?
Build a small fantasy village on a lighthouse island and protect it until dawn.
Assign workers to gather wood, food and gold. Build houses, towers and outposts, then train warriors, archers, lancers and monks at the barracks, archery range and monastery. Explore the island, hunt wild animals and conquer enemy camps.
Survive the night, then keep going: after the tenth dawn the tide keeps rising in an endless run. Choose Easy, Normal or Hard, chase your records and unlock new village skins. Achievements and leaderboards on Game Center; your village and records follow you through iCloud.
Touch controls with pinch to zoom. Available in English and Italian.
The whole game can be played for free. Optional in-app purchases include permanent cosmetic outfits and single-use resource packs. Cosmetics do not change combat stats. Unused packs stay in local inventory; used supplies belong to the current village. Resource packs are not restored after deleting the app.
