About game
Staring at a blank screen during your lunch break usually leads to mindless scrolling, but Lord of the Dark Army changes the pace entirely. You become a powerful necromancer tasked with building a massive monster legion to crush human settlements. Summoning slimes or grave brutes requires careful energy management since your resources regenerate slowly over time. Tapping the screen lets you deploy units to specific map targets while you balance defense around your home portal. Every battle earns you souls and bones used for permanent upgrades in your growing necropolis. Capturing a village feels satisfying once you break through their towers and guards with your dark force. Strategy matters because human defenses get tougher as you push further into the campaign. You can jump into this dark fantasy game directly in your browser without any annoying downloads.
How to play
Your goal is to capture all villages on the level and protect the dark portal.
Summon monsters using energy. Energy regenerates over time, but it is spent to create your army.
Tap “Summon” to create monsters. Use “Attack”, then choose a point on the map — your army will move to the target and start fighting.
Destroy villagers, guards, mages, towers, barricades and town halls. For victories, you earn souls, bones and prestige.
Tap empty slots near the portal to build structures. Upgrade the portal to unlock more building slots.
In the “Upgrades” menu, spend souls to improve your army, energy and corruption. In the “Necropolis”, spend bones on extra run-based upgrades.
If enemies destroy your portal, the level is lost — try again after strengthening your army and buildings.
