BURGUS battle The Crossing, with blue and red forts connected by roads and visible troop counts
The Crossing, from the current App Store release.

One finger. A changing frontier.

Give an order.
Keep the pressure on.

01 / CONNECT

Draw your route

Drag from your fort to a site connected by a road. Your cohorts keep marching along that Order Line until you change the order.

02 / ADAPT

Watch your border

Buildings recruit automatically. Keep troops home to build the garrison, or send them out to capture and reinforce. Swipe across an old connection to sever it.

03 / HOLD

Take the capital

Capture the rival Capital Burgus and hold it through the annexation countdown. An enemy counterattack can still change the outcome.

Visible routes and troop counts help you follow the battle.

Expansion has a cost

The road forward
also leads back.

A growing garrison can defend a junction. The same troops could help capture the next estate. BURGUS puts that tradeoff at the center of each battle, with persistent orders that let you focus on where to send your forces.

  • 13 handcrafted battles across increasingly complex road networks.
  • Neutral estates, villas, supply lines and sundown battles introduced as you progress.
  • Portrait play with drag, tap and swipe controls.
  • 1× and 2× speed, plus pause, restart and retry controls.
