Game overview

GrowWars.io drops fighters into a shared arena where they grow stronger as the match goes on. You attack opponents at close range, bank the coins that come off a win, and spend them in the shop on better equipment or a different fighter entirely. It runs solo or with a second player at the same keyboard, and the two-player mode is where the escalation gets interesting, because both sides are evolving at once.

This title is best suited to two players at one keyboard who want a quick escalating arena fight.

Gameplay mechanics
