About Bulwarkie

A free action game for your web browser

Bulwarkie is a top-down action game you play in your browser, with nothing to download. Heroes fight each other and waves of zombies at the same time: every match is player versus player versus the horde.

How it plays

Your weapon fires on its own at the nearest enemy, so the game is about where you stand. Move with WASD or a right-click, aim with the mouse, and dash out of danger. Every hero has an automatic attack, skills on Q, E, R and F, and a dash.

Zombies, captures and kills give experience. Each level-up offers five upgrade cards and you pick one, with five rerolls a match. At level 5 you choose one of your hero’s ultimates, and you add another at levels 10, 15 and 20.

Ten heroes

Ranger is an auto-fire gunner. Bulwark circles himself with orbs and raises a shield wall. Tempo shifts gears and rewinds time. Rampart and Havoc are melee brawlers — one a bruiser who stores the hits he takes, the other a berserker who grows faster as his health drops. Tesla chains lightning between enemies, Medic heals his team, Warrant marks his quarry with long-range lances, Warden builds a drone, and Anchor drags enemies in with his scythe.

Four battlefields

The Ossuary: a walled fortress with a lit tower, on a dark lake under storm clouds — **The Ossuary**3v3 · team battleTwo teams of three on a map with ten outposts, while zombies pour out of the altar zone between them. A kill scores one point and an outpost two; after ten minutes the team with more points wins.

The Reliquary: a moonlit walled sanctuary, a beam of light rising from its altar — **The Reliquary**1v1 · duelA symmetrical arena with sixteen pillars for cover and healing wells in the corners. The last hero standing takes the round; if time runs out, the altar in the centre wakes and decides it. First to three rounds wins.

Bonetide: a spiked round arena on violet water, three beams marking its camps — **Bonetide**2v2v2 · kill raceThree teams of two. Only kills score — the zombie camps orbiting the map give experience and healing but no points — and the safe zone keeps closing. The first duo to twelve kills wins.

The Crucible: a burning shrine in an orange volcanic caldera — **The Crucible**Solo · survivalYou alone against endless waves that never clear, so the horde keeps growing. Every fourth wave brings a boss with bullet patterns. There is no winning, only how far you get — your best wave goes on the leaderboard.

You can also practise a duel against a bot, and log in with Discord to play ranked matches on the team-battle and duel ladders.

Free to play

Bulwarkie is free, supported by ads shown in the menu — never during a match. Optional purchases are planned: cosmetic looks for the heroes, and a Premium subscription that removes the ads. Nothing for sale gives a gameplay advantage. The Terms of Use and Refund Policy describe them.

Closed beta

The Game is in closed beta. To take a seat in a match you need a Discord login and a place on the beta list — the game itself shows you how to apply.
