About the Game

Matadors is a multiplayer bullfighting game. Players can play as a matador or a bull. The most basic goal of the matador is to avoid bull attacks and survive. The goal of the bulls is to hit the matador as much as possible.

Matador Gameplay

Matadors have certain special abilities in the game. These special abilities are obtained randomly by collecting boxes around. Special abilities like big jump, somersault, and dash can come out of these boxes. Additionally, matadors can have different roles. These roles are distributed randomly at the start of each round. The Gunner role can slow down bulls thanks to the pause gun they have. Gun ammo comes from the boxes. At the same time, the Trapper role can slow down the bull in a similar way by placing traps. Each of these actions is written as a plus point to the matador team.

Another way for matadors to collect points is to escape from the attacks of the bulls. If the bulls miss them very closely with their special abilities or clever moves, they win points. In addition, matadors can earn points by collecting certain objects from around.

Bull Gameplay

The main purpose of the bulls in the game is simple and clear. They need to eliminate as many matadors as possible within a round. Also, they need to be careful against the sneaky moves of the matadors and not let them earn points. If the matadors reach a higher score than the bulls by the end of the round (or up to the score limit in other game modes), the bulls lose the game. For this reason, besides the simplicity of the gameplay, bulls must always be on alert.

General Gameplay

Players create or join a room. According to the host's preference, roles (matador / bull) are determined randomly or preferentially. Choices such as round time, winning condition, game type, and map selection are also made by the host. Matadors and Bulls try to collect as many points as possible. Also, when the game is launched, more than one game mode will be completed (like capture the flag) and the host will make adjustments. A minimum of 3-5 players is recommended for a fun experience.
