Countdown Crusaders

Sharpen your swords and don your robes and wizard hats. Lead your band of mercenaries to victory against the monsters at the gates; race the countdown to stop each boss from using its ultimate ability. 

• It's a JRPG turn-based-boss-battle with reinforcements on both sides. 
• The bosses will be counting down to their ultimate attack, ending your run. 
• Upgrade your mercenary company and save the world from the horrors at the gates. 
• There is a how to play button in the menu. 
• The small orange triangle above one of your units is the enemy target. Usually it's whoever can deal the most damage on the next turn.
• The smaller enemies will count down their own attacks and eventually will have multiple attack countdowns. 
• There is a secret boss 😉
• I have tested it on mobile. Tapping a unit then tapping the small hourglass should open their inspection card.
