About This Game

Fifteen Game Breaking Changing Powerups

• Go invisible with Phantom — just watch out for True Sight

• Leap up high with Cloud Hopper and rain arrows down on your foes

• Fire three arrows at once with Multi-Nock, or go full artillery with Black Powder's explosive tips

• Teleport across the map with Soul Shot

• Keep an eye out for special bows and arrows

• And more...

Online PvP

Play with up to seven other friends. Host a private match or join a public lobby with "Quick Join." 

No Friends?

Add some bots to your lobby. They can run, jump, fight, and use powerups just like a real player. But be careful, some of them have gotten quite good at shooting. 

Fully Customizable Game Settings

Prefer skill over luck? Hosts can change powerup spawns to "Never" and run it as a pure, no-frills draw-and-shoot duel — no crutches, no gimmicks, just whoever's actually better with a bow. Or grab seven other friends and crank powerups to the max and see who can survive the longest. Enable teams to play a 4v4, a 2v2v2, or maybe a 1v5. It's up to you. 

Three Maps, Two Gamemodes

Fight it out across the Ruins, the Forest, and the Graveyard in Elimination or Deathmatch, with host-configurable win conditions — first to a kill count, last one standing after time runs out, or best of however many rounds you decide.
