In one sentence
Banner & Briar is a medieval tower defense for phones: build towers, break waves, hold the banner – on nine maps, free in your browser.
Description
Goblins, undead, fish pirates and gnolls march on your castle. On nine hand-built maps – from forest meadows to a haunted marsh at night – you place eleven tower types with two upgrade paths each along narrow paths with up to four entrances. Height matters, bosses arrive in waves 10, 20 and 30, and afterwards it goes on endlessly for the leaderboard. Plus three more modes: survival, siege and skirmish. Made for portrait mode and one hand.
- Towers & upgrade paths: Nine towers – from archer tower to witch tower – with two upgrade paths each, up to tier V.
- Nine maps: Forest, gorge, islands, lava and a haunted marsh at night – with up to four entrances at once.
- Bosses & high ground: Troll, minotaur, shark captain and more. And height matters: towers can’t hit enemies walking above them.
- Your banner: Color, pattern and emblem – your troops and buildings carry them. You earn new emblems by playing.
- Fair & free: No sign-up, no tracking, no paid advantages. You only join the leaderboard if you want to.
