Where Does Kingshot Store Save Data on Android and iPhone?
Kingshot's city and heroes live on Century Games servers. The folder on your phone only holds cache, event assets and your login.
Last updated
Kingshot looks like a tower defense game you dip into for sessions, but a live-service city builder hums underneath. Town level, heroes, troops, and the alliance war map are server data at Century Games, tied to whatever login you attached: Google, Apple, Facebook, or a Century Games account.
One quirk is worth knowing if you ever dig through Android folders. Kingshot's package is com.run.tower.defense, a leftover from its early name that has nothing to do with the game on screen. That is the folder to search for, and it is not where your town lives anyway. Progress is the account, not the files.
Where Kingshot stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.run.tower.defense
Downloaded assets, event art, and login state, filed under the com.run.tower.defense package name. Android 11 and newer block file managers from opening it; clearing it triggers a resource re-download, not a reset.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents
Per-install sandbox whose GUID changes on reinstall, and browsing it takes a jailbreak. iCloud device backups copy it, but signing back in is what brings a town back.
Frequently asked questions
Why is Kingshot's folder called com.run.tower.defense?
The package name was set when the game went by a different title, and changing an Android package after release breaks every update path. So the odd name stayed. It is the right folder, just mislabeled by history.
How do I recover a Kingshot account after losing my phone?
Log in with the Google, Apple, Facebook, or Century Games account you bound in-game, on any device. If you never bound one, the account existed only on the lost phone and cannot be rebuilt from a new install.
Does reinstalling Kingshot reset my town?
Only for guests. With a login attached, reinstalling is one resource download away from normal, and the town state pulls from the servers on first sign-in. The wait is real, the loss is not.
