Reviews

“Local multiplayer combat with simple controls and chaotic brawl energy. Throw axes, clash with pals and celebrate messy victories.”
Potato Coalition

“Extremely fun with friends. Simple mechanics, but once you get them it becomes pure chaos and laughter. Solid base with lots of room to expand with more maps, modes, and content”

About This Game

Battlewrights is the couch-multiplayer party brawler you've been missing:

Grab 1-3 friends (in the room, or anywhere via Steam Remote Play Together - only one copy needed), pick a character, and start throwing weapons at each other...

The core mechanics are deceptively simple: Press button to throw your weapon, press it again to magically recall it. Landing a hit works both ways — on the throw, and on the recall.. Repeat until you are the last person standing. All characters have the same moveset, so no long explanations before someone new jumps in.

But if you want to take things further, try throwjumps, charged throws, perfect throws, self-evades and game-changing powerups.

Chaotic multiplayer action

Rounds are FAST. Be aware of your surroundings and use them to your advantage.

A unique movement system

If you throw your weapon mid-air, it lets you do a throwjump. Combine this move with walljumps and no platform is too high to reach!

Learn advanced moves

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!

Never let them forget

Save your best moves as GIFs and use them to taunt your friends - FOREVER!

Charming pixel art characters

Pick from 4 different characters, each with 4 different color schemes!

Challenge the leaderboards

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!
