Our take on Birds of War
The focus on aerial team combat and proximity voice chat leaves little room for a quiet or solitary play style. Match outcomes also depend on coordinating egg theft, nest defense, and bird roles while opponents can hear nearby communication.
What is Birds of War?
Birds of War is a team-based aerial PvP game built around 3v3v3 matches.
Nine birds compete across three nests, raiding enemy nests, carrying eggs home, and defending their own. The team with the most eggs at the end wins. Flight and melee combat form the core of play, with physics-based hits that can send birds into ragdoll states. Proximity voice chat remains active during matches, allowing nearby enemies and teammates to hear one another. Four birds are available at launch: Crow uses stealth, Hummingbird focuses on speed, Shoebill acts as a tank, and Pigeon supports the team with UAV-style marking. The game also includes a shop whose contents do not make birds hit harder or fly faster.
