Our take on Cannon Brawl
The focus on tactical artillery battles limits the campaign to a mission-based structure rather than a broader role-playing progression system. Multiplayer variety comes from unit and pilot combinations, not from a large cast of customizable characters.
What is Cannon Brawl?
Cannon Brawl combines real-time strategy with 2D artillery combat.
Players pilot an airship, place weapons and defenses, and reshape battlefields by destroying terrain with cannons, lasers, flamethrowers, and other units. The single-player campaign spans 20 missions across five environments and includes boss fights while unlocking additional units. Multiplayer supports competitive 1v1 matches with ranked matchmaking, private invitations, and local tournaments using a controller. More than 15 weapons and defenses can be combined with five or more airship pilots, allowing different approaches such as long-range bombardment or rushing for high ground. Combat centers on managing priorities while responding to changing battlefield conditions.
