Overview

About this game

King Charles is a fast-paced, dog-powered survival action game where every minute matters. Dodge relentless swarms, collect XP and gold, and build a devastating loadout through quick card choices and permanent upgrades. The longer you survive, the more intense the hunt becomes—especially when miniboss waves start arriving.

How it plays

You fight automatically while you focus on movement, positioning, and smart upgrade decisions. Defeat enemies to drop XP and gold, grab healing hearts when luck is on your side, and keep scaling your power to survive escalating waves.
