Run a guild. Raise a dragon. Fight the bosses yourself.

In a paragraph

Hatchfire is an idle guild game for iPhone and Android. You lead a small guild in Briarhold. Its members gather, craft and go out on expeditions while the game is closed, for hours at a time. When you check in you collect what they found, gear them up and send them further: down the Old Mine, into the Wolf Den, and out to sea in boats bought from a raft up to a galleon. Along the way you raise dragons, and the bosses of places you've beaten wait for you to fight them yourself. More is being added.

What's in it

  • Skills to train: Woodcutting, Mining, Fishing, Foraging, Smithing, Cooking, Crafting, Woodworking, Melee, Range, Magic, Defence, Hitpoints.
  • Places to send a party, by land and by sea, from more than one camp.
  • Boss fights you lead yourself, seen from above, with a combat triangle of Melee, Range and Magic.
  • Waymeet, an online town to share: chat, sparring, dice and darts, and raids for up to four.
  • Dragons to find, feed and win over.
  • Boats to buy, from a raft to a galleon, to sail between camps and run cargo.
  • Tier after tier of gear, plus sea, archery and magic kits, all drawn on the wearer, and lanterns that light the night.
  • A camp with a life of its own: market carts, hunting grounds, a bounty board, boss pets, an angry chicken.
  • No ads, no energy, no timers to pay past, no account needed.

Price

The game is free through all of Briarhold: the camp, its boss fights, the first boats and a fight at sea. One purchase of $4.99 opens the Saltmire Coast, with a second camp, bigger boats, more places and the rest of the story, and Waymeet, the town online. There is nothing else to buy.
