Battle

Each match begins with both teams building a castle equipped with cannons. Once the fight starts, destroy the opposing base and knock out the king or queen to win the round. The first team to score three K.O.s wins the match. After each round, you can rebuild and adjust your castle.

Story

Play through a short campaign across multiple levels, solo or in local co-op. Defeat enemies, expand your arsenal, and unlock new kingdoms as you progress. The story is light-hearted and supported by short cinematic cutscenes.

Arcade

Defend your castle against waves of enemies, solo or in local co-op. Enemies drop gold, which can be used to upgrade your castle between waves. Track your performance on online leaderboards.
