Description
About This Game
Battlewrights is a hilarious local multiplayer combat game for two to four players. The core mechanics are deceptively simple: Press button to throw your weapon, press it again to magically recall it. Repeat until you are the last person standing. Everyone can play. Every character plays the same. But if you want to take things further, try throwjumps, charged throws, perfect throws, self-evades and game-changing powerups.
Gameplay
If you throw your weapon mid-air, it lets you do something called a throwjump. Combine this move with walljumps and no platform is too high to reach!
You can also dodge your ene... friends projectiles by pressing the dodge button shortly before being hit. This opens up perfect opportunities to strike back!
If you really want to hone your movement skills, try the included time trial mode. Try to beat bronze, silver and gold times, or even dare challenging the coveted developer medal!
Pick from 4 different characters, each with 4 different color schemes!
