Trapped in a loop of eternal conflict, Endless War thrusts you into the twisted role of both savior and saboteur. Two kingdoms wage war without end — and you’re the unseen hand keeping it alive.

In this high-stakes wave defense game, you alternate control between opposing sides each round, defending one castle enough to allow the war to never end. Every enemy you destroy earns you war funds — but let them breach your defenses, and you gain breach coins: a rarer currency used to bolster the next wave... when you’ll be defending the other side.

Kill too much, and you'll starve the enemy for reinforcements. Let too many through, and your castle falls. The challenge? Keep the war burning without letting either side win — or lose.

Every victory is a sacrifice. Every loss is an investment. In this war, peace is failure.

How long can you maintain the perfect imbalance?
