Playing on a phone or tablet

Is there a Kingdom app?

There is no Kingdom app in Google Play or the App Store, and nothing to install. Kingdom is a browser game: open it in any modern mobile browser and the interface switches to a phone layout automatically. Updates reach you the next time you load the page.

Start on your phone

1. Open kingdo.io in your phone's browser.
2. Tap Play now and create a free account with email and a password, or continue with Google.
3. Name your hero. You start in the capital, ready for the first fight.

Add it to your home screen

For one-tap access, add the game to your home screen. On an iPhone or iPad, open it in Safari, tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen. On Android, open it in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu and choose Add to Home screen (some versions say Install). The icon then opens the game directly.

Touch controls

• Move the map with one finger; a quick flick keeps it gliding.
• Zoom with two fingers, up to three times closer. Zooming out stops when the picture fills the screen.
• Tap a monster, a character or a road to act.
• Your status bars float over the map in one panel, with the name of your current place beneath it.
• In battle the action buttons stay at the bottom of the screen, within reach of your thumb.
• Turned sideways, the panel folds into a single row so more of the world stays visible.

One hero, every device

Your hero lives on the server, not on the phone. Sign in on the phone during the day and on the computer in the evening: the same hero, gear, gold and place on the map are waiting. Health, mana and stamina also recover while you are away, so a short visit is enough to spend the stamina that has refilled.

Tips for playing on the go

1. Use a stable connection for duels. Every turn has 45 seconds - see the duels guide.
2. Check stamina before a long fight. The hero guide explains how resources return.
3. Learn the four moves once. They are the same on every screen - read the combat guide.
