Gameplay

Rush Royale involves battles against monsters, played in Co-Op mode or in Player-vs-Player (PvP) mode against another live player using different cards.

The playing field is a 3 × 5 grid where the player can position their units by using "mana," a special resource that is accumulated during battle after killing monsters. Because the battlefield size is limited, the player can merge duplicate units into another random unit in their deck.

Games consists of "monster waves," during which monsters emerge from a portal on the player's side of the battlefield and move toward the castle gates. When the player kills monsters in PvP battles, they are transferred to the opponent's side of the battlefield. At the end of every wave, all the remaining monsters left on the battlefield are destroyed and a boss appears.

In addition to units, each player has a Hero. This is a separate entity with abilities that will help the player in battle. All players start with the same hero, the Trainer, who creates straw dummies that stop monsters and explode after a certain time.

Cards and heroes

All cards and heroes in the game have a level of rarity: regular, rare, epic and legendary. All cards also belong to one of 5 factions. Every week, the units belonging to a random faction will receive a different enhancement.

Every card and hero have a level, and the player can increase the level by collecting copies of that card and by spending gold. Gold is an in-game resource that the player obtains through co-op matches.

Legendary cards are obtained using magic crystals from seasonal rewards or by trading unwanted legendary cards at the magic lab.

At certain levels, a card can ascend using faction cores. This process enhances a card's basic mechanics. At every level except level 15, players can choose one of two talents that fundamentally change some mechanics. The player can change their chosen talent at any time.

Game events

Game events occur periodically with additional rewards. Some units and some heroes can only be obtained by completing these events.

Clans and Clan Wars

Clans offer an opportunity to connect with other players, request and share cards, take part in clan wars and explore the dragon rift.

Certain achievements by other players, such as upgrading a hero card to a particular level, will also allow players to brag about this event and discuss it in the chat, which may bring additional resources for other clan members.

Clans are assigned to divisions, which will determine the reward for winning the tournament.

A Clan War is a competition between 5 clans in the same division. Players need magic wings to attack the opponent. These are earned when players participate in clan wars, reach the maximum battle pass level or acquire clan boosts.

Clan Wars offer a choice between Daily Battle and Plunder.

Reception

As of 2022, Rush Royale has been downloaded over 50 million times, making it the top game in the Tower Defense Strategy genre by the number of installs and became My.Games' second highest-performing game by revenue in 2022, earning $102 million. [4] [5] [6]

Partnerships

In June 2023, Rush Royale partnered with American actor and boxer Jake Paul for a limited time event. [7] [8] [9] The event included a two-week long Champion Rumble event and the appearance in-game of Paul as a playable character.
