Rush Royale is a mobile game that combines the elements of the tower defense and card game genres. The game was developed by the IT Territory studio and published by My.Games in December 2020. [1] [2] [3]
Rush Royale involves battles against monsters using playing cards. The game can be played in Co-Op mode or in Player-vs-Player (PvP) mode.
The playing field is a 3 × 5 grid where the player can position their units by using "mana," a special resource that is accumulated by killing monsters during battle. Because the battlefield size is limited, the player can merge duplicate units into another random unit in their deck.
Games consist 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 with special abilities that 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.
All cards and heroes in the game have a level of rarity: regular, rare, epic, or legendary. Legendary cards are obtained using magic crystals from seasonal rewards or by trading unwanted legendary cards at the magic lab. 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 has a level, which is increased by collecting copies of that card and by spending gold. Gold is an in-game resource that the player obtains through co-op matches. At certain levels, a card can ascend using faction cores, which 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 occur periodically with additional rewards. Some units and some heroes can only be obtained by completing these events.
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. Divisions also determine which clans compete against each other in clan wars. In clan wars, players need magic wings to attack the opponent, which players earn by participating in clan wars, reaching the maximum battle pass level, or acquiring clan boosts. Clan Wars offer a choice between Daily Battle and Plunder:
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]
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.
