About Controllers

We strongly recommend using a game controller for the best gaming experience. Keyboard and mouse are also supported, but brace yourself for a unique challenge. If you encounter any controller compatibility issues, please check your controller settings in Steam. You can also download the demo version to test your controller before making a purchase.

About Online Play

Since online multiplayer relies on Steam P2P, the network environments of both you and your friends can affect the online experience. If you encounter any online play issues with your friends, consider trying out some accelerators designed to improve Steam P2P connectivity.

Game Overview

Wanba Warriors is a uniquely abstract 1v1 fighting game set in an ancient world with supernatural powers and unconventional weapons. Extraordinary Wanba Warriors from all corners have gathered to showcase their skills in epic battles. Choose from a variety of characters to battle friends or AI opponents, mastering tactics in this wonderfully bizarre world. Battles are quick and satisfying, delivering joy with each hit and minimal frustration with each loss.

The base game currently features six distinct characters, and we have released multiple DLCs, each introducing characters with vastly different styles.
