Overview

Happy Wars Overview

Happy Wars was a unique action oriented hack-n-slash MOBA game where players fight to capture their opponent's base or control more towers than their opponents when time runs out. Everything from the game's artstyle to dialogue conveys the game's lighthearted comedic nature. Despite the game's silly theme, Happy Wars is a game that requires teamwork and coordination to win. It plays like a typical MOBA, except with much quicker respawn times (~5-7 seconds), up to 30 players in a single game, and random abilities. Switch between classes and loadouts upon death and participate in whacky large scale battles. Happy Wars is a game that appeals to players of all ages and can easily be played in short bursts.

Happy Wars Key Features:

  • Large scale battles - Play with up to 15 players on each team and battle across 12+ unique maps. Capture the enemy's base by ramming the gates with siege weapons or infiltrating it with ladders.
  • Quick matches - Matches take no longer than 10 minutes. Win by either destroying the enemy's main tower (in their castle) or hold more towers than the enemy at the end of the round.
  • Lots of customization - Hundreds of unique pieces of gear, all of which can be upgraded. Players get 3 loadouts per class and can switch between them at death.
  • 6 Playable Classes - 3 starting basic classes (Warrior, Cleric, and Mage) and 3 unlockable classes (Berserker, Engineer, and Zephyr).
  • Unique Skill System - Players can't choose new abilities as they level, instead gain a random one each level. Unique Team skills available which synergize with other players.
