Which Legend of Defenders are you looking at?

Search results mix three different products. This page is about the 2026 Windows game on Steam, developed by KaiPlay Studio and published by Gamersky Games. If the listing you opened is free on an iPhone, or the title is Defenders of Legends, with the words in a different order, you are on a different game.

How to tell them apart in one glance

The KaiPlay game is a side-view castle, pixel heroes on the wall, and a red End Battle button. It is single-player and the store page lists no in-app purchases.
The Mintry game is an iOS app, id 6477903941. TapTap dates that release to 15 Feb 2024, and the same page also says a 16 Feb 2024 iOS date. Both dates stay on the table. The App Store rating shown on 5 Nov 2026 was 2.3 out of 5 from 10 ratings.
Defenders of Legends (app 2442770) is a different Steam game from 2023. Its store page lists single-player, multiplayer, co-op, and LAN. The KaiPlay game's store categories do not.

A board game called Defenders of the Realm is also unrelated. It is a 2010 tabletop title from Eagle Games. Nothing on that Wikipedia page describes a Steam castle defense.

Questions

Is the iOS Legend of Defenders the same game as the Steam one?

No. The iOS listing is published by Mintry. The Steam game is by KaiPlay Studio and Gamersky Games, and the Steam platform flags confirm Windows and do not list native macOS or Linux builds. No console listing was found in the public-store searches dated 5 Nov 2026.

Why does search show Defenders of Legends?

The titles use similar words in a different order. Defenders of Legends is Knight-HD's 2023 Steam game. This guide does not use its reviews or price for the 2026 castle game.
