Hurl fireballs, raise the dead, build turrets, tear portals, parry blades back into
their owner's face. Every ability costs mana, stock, or your own HP — and a few carry
permanent trade-offs like lower maximum health. With 21 status effects in play, the
loadout screen is where half the fight happens.
Deathmatch — your team shares 50 lives. Spend them well.
King of the Hill — hold the zone; a single enemy inside freezes the count.
Capture the Flag — first to three captures, and deep water drops the flag.
Free-for-All — no teams, no bases, first to 15 kills.
Greed — a gold rush. Bank nuggets, buy abilities mid-match, and raid the
enemy chest — the further behind you are, the bigger the bite.
Lava fields threaded with safe ground, a ghost ship whose hull is your base, a moat
that only freezes on the tide, a forest maze re-routed by shifting trees. Every map is
authored, not generated — and every map plays every mode.
Ranked is strictly opt-in and permanent. Six tiers from Bronze to Master and rating.
In English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.
