Infos zum Spiel

A real-time tactical autobattler. Deploy units, buildings and spells on a living battlefield and decide anew every second. Every move reshapes the battle. Every second counts.

As a general, you command your army. Send your troops into the field, support them with spells and boosters, and decide how the battle is fought. Offensive, defensive, magical. Anything goes.

BannerRush offers deep tactical possibilities. Easy to learn. Hard to master.

our goal

You don't destroy a base. You push your units across the enemy line. Whoever has the most crossings at the end wins the match. A match runs over 5 rounds of 2 to 3 minutes each, and the finale decides everything: in round 4 every crossing counts double, in round 5 triple.

Between rounds the Tactics Forge opens, the peak strategic moment. This is where you build your forces with gold. More troops or all in on magic? Wall yourself in or push relentlessly? Commit to epic melee, or control the field from afar? Anything is possible.

And here's the twist: only what you buy here makes it into your pool. During the match it comes up from there, governed by a weighting system. You decide what can show up, chance only decides when.

it all runs on gold

The whole system runs on a single resource: gold. You gather it everywhere. Through the Pillar of Economy, in fights, from treasure chests, and with every crossing of the enemy line. And there's the Thief: if this special unit makes it across, he steals gold from your opponent and slides it over to you.

buildings & lane control

Buildings carry weight. They stay up across rounds, can be upgraded to level 3, and each has a clear role. The Pillar of Economy brings gold, the Workshop boosts your tempo, the Oracle strengthens your magic. On top of that they grant the lane bonus, and you can fight over it. Dominate a lane and your units there grow stronger, with 15% more damage and 15% more speed. Lose the building, lose the lane.

The horns sound! Battle begins! Your troops are ready, the first crates appear on the field. Go! Your units charge forward in waves, grabbing crates or crossing the enemy border. The enemy never sleeps. He raises walls and buildings to hold you back. Now his archers appear. The first crate cracks open! Fireball! Straight into his defenses.

His archers fall, the buildings burn. You trigger a speed boost. The rush begins, the horns sound, your troops cross the line.

Time is running out! 10 seconds left. Send another wave or hold back? Time's up. The Tactics Forge opens. What have you earned?

Strengthen your forces with permanent skills. From a simple damage boost to a legendary ability that changes everything.

Every decision shapes your playstyle. No battle plays out the same way twice.

ultimates

And for the cherry on top, ultimates. Through a combo system you gather XP in battle and unlock powerful finishers. At the start of each round you pick one of 3 levels. The higher the level, the heavier the effect. Spawn treasure chests into your own half, send a poison cloud at your opponent, or unleash the extreme: an earthquake, an inferno, or mass conversion, where every enemy unit turns into yours.

In the middle of battle, resources running low? A signal sounds. Moments later... a crate! Send a few of your troops to crack it open. What's inside might turn the tide.

50 gold? A handful of boosters? A fireball? Or a global skill like "all units gain 20% more damage"? Different crate types packed with all kinds of loot make every battle more dynamic.

From the standard crate to rare ones to the legendary golden crate, packed with treasures that can change everything.

Online 1v1 PvP is the heart of BannerRush. Test your tactical skills against players from around the world. Alongside it, a linear singleplayer campaign eases you into the game step by step, the ideal way in before you head online.

A story frames your journey. The king is dead. Long live the king! But you were the one meant to take the throne.

A conspiracy drove you from the kingdom you once served as its greatest general. Now you return to cast down the false king and put an end to his reign of terror.

The linear singleplayer campaign carries this story and walks you through the game's systems, step by step.

BannerRush is in active development and growing steadily.

Planned: local couch co-op against friends, an online league with fair matchmaking through battlepoints, new spells, boosters and skills, plus Steam Achievements and leaderboards. Further down the line, perhaps the infamous Wager Mode, where the winner permanently takes something from the loser's forces. For nerves of steel only.

And everything the community asks for.
