Bulwarkie

Field manual

ABOUT THE GAME

Two warbands, an endless swarm and four battlefields that each ask a different question — this is how a match of Bulwarkie works.

01The battleground

Two teams. One swarm.

Bulwarkie is a top-down brawler with an endless horde standing in the middle of it. On the classic board two warbands of three fight for control of the map — but nobody fights alone: waves of the dead spill out of the purple wastes and hunt both teams without picking sides.

Combat is simple on purpose: your weapon fires by itself at the nearest threat. You win by moving well — steer with WASD or right-click, aim the fight with your mouse, and dash out of danger on a short cooldown.

3 vs 3 — plus the dead Weapons fire on their own Dash breaks any trap

02The heroes

Ten heroes, ten ways to fight

Ranger outguns everything at range, Bulwark holds the line behind orbiting orbs and a shield wall, Tempo strikes and vanishes, Rampart cleaves through whole packs, Tesla forks lightning from victim to victim, and Medic keeps the team on its feet — and those are just the first six of a ten-hero roster.

They all share one skeleton: a basic attack that fires itself, a signature skill on Q, and the dash. Everything else — range, damage, playstyle — changes completely. The full kits live on the HEROES page.

03The power curve

Level up. Pick a card. Repeat.

Zombies, captures and player kills all feed your XP bar. Every level offers five upgrade cards — take one on the spot, mid-fight: more damage, faster fire, extra projectiles, thicker armor, a longer dash…

At level 5 the match asks its biggest question: pick one of four ultimates and commit — it reshapes how your hero plays. Its card then joins your draws, so you can keep stacking it into something monstrous.

The battlefields

Four boards, four win conditions. Every demo below is the real board, playing its own rule on a loop.

04 THE OSSUARY 3v3 · TERRITORY WAR

Take ground, take heads, watch the clock

Three against three across the Ossuary's twelve outposts, with the dead spilling out of the purple lens between the two territories. Standing on an outpost's plate takes it — and every outpost you hold keeps paying experience for as long as you keep it.

Nothing here ends the match early. Both ledgers feed one score — a head pays one, a tower pays two — and when the ten minutes are up the higher score takes the field. A level score goes to sudden death: the very next point wins it.

05 THE RELIQUARY 1v1 · ROUNDS

One rival, and nowhere to hide

A moonlit obsidian square at a quarter of the Ossuary's area: sixteen mirror-placed pillars for cover, a warren north and south still breathing mobs at you, and a moon well in every quadrant. A round goes to the last hero standing.

A round that refuses to end gets ended for you. When the round clock runs out the Judgment Altar wakes at the centre, and holding its plate long enough takes the round outright — so circling forever is not a plan. Three rounds take the match.

06 BONETIDE 2v2v2 · KILL RACE

Three duos, a drifting hunt, a closing ring

Six players, three pairs, one disc. Kills are the only score: the neutral camps pay experience and healing but never points, and the whole camp triangle drifts around the board on a slow orbit, so the ground worth holding is never in the same place twice.

Meanwhile the tide comes in. The safe ring creeps inward for the entire match and everything outside it belongs to the dead. First duo to twelve kills takes it — and one kill short of that the board goes to match point and the horde surges.

07 THE CRUCIBLE SOLO · ENDLESS PvE

One hero, one life, waves that never leave

A shattered caldera you hold alone. Every other board clears its wave before the next one lands; this one never does — the survivors of wave three are still on you at wave nine, so the horde standing on the board only ever grows.

Every fifth wave brings a boss that fills the floor with bullet-hell patterns, and the mobs drop runes worth going out for. There is nothing to win here: you farm, you climb, you fall — and the wave you reached goes on the board.
