About Battlewrights
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.
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!

Battlewrights is one of those games that just feels like it was made by a dev who genuinely loves making games. The local multiplayer is super fun, chaotic but perfectly balanced — easy to learn, but still deep enough that you can actually get better. The art style is super charming and the music just fits the game. And then there's the time trials, which are challenging enough to give the game another dimension. My brother and I spent 2 hours in A-1 trying to beat the top time, switching controllers back and forth. If you like games that are easy to pick up but hard to master, either solo against time or in front of a tv with friends, give this one a shot.2 found this helpful
Intuitive, fun and engaging gameplay? Check. Awesome chiptune bangers? Check. Being able to win, even if you don't know, what you're doing? Also check. I can only recommend this game for some fun remote or couch co-op sessions!2 found this helpful
Great couch co-op game with lovely graphics and sound! The mechanics are simple, catchy and never get boring. It is funny to see how everyones skill curve rises only after a few hours of gameplay and you have your first momements of INSANE killing blows!1 found this helpful
Great local multiplayer! Always fun to play with friends, but also enjoyable solo in time trial mode.1 found this helpful
big fun with friends and strangers alike. Offers a lot of skill expression if you want to, but that's all optional! Easy to pick up, hard to master type of PvP fun! Also loving the Time Trial mode, it's something to do1 found this helpful
This is a real fun multiplayer game to play along with friends on a weekend with some beers. It really stands out for it nostalgia feel to the good old couch co-op days. The game is simple enough to get a grip fairly quick but the mechanics also offer a degree of complexity that can really make a difference for experienced players. Time trial mode is also great if you are looking to test your skills and wish to practice and improve them or if you just want to show off with your buds and let them know who the real boss is. All in all a really cool game to play with your friends and for the price tag I would not hesitate to buy it if even for the time trails that are a really good challenge.
