About the Game

📖 About This Game

Shapes Wars is a lane-based auto-battler inspired by the classic Castle Fight genre. Choose your race, spend your resources wisely, and send waves of units marching toward the enemy fortress — while defending your own.

Three Races. Three Playstyles.
Each race brings a unique roster of units and buildings with distinct mechanics:

  • Squares — versatile and balanced.

  • Triangles — aggressive and bloodthirsty.

  • Circles — expensive and powerful.

Build. Upgrade. Dominate.
Construct unit-spawning buildings in your base, upgrade them to field stronger troops, and invest in racial upgrades that permanently empower your army. Every resource spent is a decision: spawn faster, hit harder, or outlast?

The Castle Shop
Your Worker isn't just a mascot — equip them with active items and unleash abilities mid-battle:

  • Chain lightning that jumps between enemies

  • Speed boosts and slowing fields to control the battlefield

  • A repair kit to heal your Nexus when the pressure mounts

  • Staffs that grow stronger — and more expensive — the more you use them

The Nuke
When all else fails, one devastating orbital strike can wipe the enemy lane clean. Use it wisely — it only fires once.

Scenarios & Settings
Customize every match: pick your race, set the AI difficulty, adjust income timer, starting resources, and tax pressure. Configure every match your way.

✨ Key Features

  • 🔺 Three asymmetric races with unique units, buildings, and upgrade trees
