PADEL LEGENDS · THE LAST RALLY
ALPHA PLANNED · 2027
ONE COURT.
ONE MORE RALLY.
A premium arcade padel game for PC, consoles, and mobile, combining fast matches, responsive controls, expressive characters, and the depth to reward players who keep improving.
The goal is simple: make every point immediately fun, then give every return, angle, position, and decision enough precision to master over time—whether you play with a controller, keyboard, or touchscreen.
GENREPremium arcade sports
PLATFORMSPC · Consoles · Mobile
MATCH STYLEFast, readable, competitive
PHILOSOPHYSimple to learn · difficult to master
THE CORE EXPERIENCE
READ. MOVE.
OWN THE RALLY.
Gameplay comes first. Ball physics, AI, controls, impact, and game feel are developed as one connected system so every rally feels responsive rather than scripted.
- 01Read the incoming ball and move early to create the right angle.
- 02Choose placement, timing, and power instead of relying on a single perfect button.
- 03Use each character’s strengths, weaknesses, and signature shot to shape the point.
- 04Win fast matches, improve your consistency, and return for the next rally.
INSTANT COMPETITION
Arcade
Jump into fast padel matches built around clarity, responsive controls, expressive characters, and satisfying moment-to-moment competition.
SIGNATURE ELIMINATION MODE
The Last Rally
Create your own team, choose its name and emblem, recruit characters with different playstyles, and enter a continuing elimination challenge. Progress from match to match with the surviving roster—when a player is eliminated, that loss is permanent for the run. Adapt the team, protect your remaining legends, and see how far the final lineup can go.
EXPANDED GAME
More ways to play
Beyond Arcade and The Last Rally, the approved long-term direction includes Manager Mode, Solo Career, and Padel Academy—developed after the core match experience reaches its quality bar.

THE PROMISE
“Simple to learn.

Professional presentation matters—but player enjoyment, replayability, and the feel of the rally always come first.
WHISPERS OF AGES
ALPHA PLANNED · Q4 2026
HISTORY DOESN’T
REPEAT.
IT FIGHTS BACK.
A fast, replayable top-down action-survival game where legendary heroes battle through defining moments in history, armed with culture-inspired weapons and mythic abilities.
Inspired by the immediate survival loop of Vampire Survivors and the historical worlds of Age of Empires—then rebuilt around objective-driven missions, historical allies, and heroes whose campaigns play differently.

ENDLESS AGES
The first four campaigns open the door to the main survival mode. Build a run that can withstand history colliding around you—and expand its possibilities with every new hero you unlock.
Time Rifts
Eras collide through shifting environments, armies, and enemies. Historical campaigns stay rooted in their own setting; Endless brings unlocked ages together.
Random Age Event / Attack
The planned rhythm brings a new historical threat roughly every ten minutes. The next army, age, or event is unpredictable, so your build must keep adapting.
An Expanding Endless World
Start with content from the four opening heroes. Unlock more campaigns to add their historical enemies, armies, and other content to the Endless pool.

INSIDE THE GAME · PLANNED FEATURES
Every run builds a legend.
Whispers
Collect the memories of history during a run. Whispers fuel skills, powers, upgrades, and evolutions as you fight to survive.
Gold
Earn permanent progress through play. Gold unlocks heroes, weapons, skins, and more historical content beyond a single run.
Skill System & Branching Evolutions
Level up and choose from randomized upgrades that work together as a build. Greek Fire, for example, can branch toward an Explosion, Fire Zone, or Continuous Flame.
Hero Weapons & Passives
Every hero brings a starting weapon, passive identity, and mission style. Joan’s first chapter introduces Joan Sword, Holy Banner, and Faith alongside village inspiration and recruitment.
Hero Mastery & Score
Rise through Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Heroic. Kills, survival time, objectives, allies saved, healing efficiency, and damage taken contribute to your performance.
Historical Intro System
A short cinematic text introduction sets up the hero, event, and objective. Enter each mission knowing who you are and what you are fighting for.
Bosses & Historical Endings
Campaign opponents belong to their historical setting. After the mission, discover the real historical outcome behind the battle you just played.
Hero & Campaign Unlocks
The first four heroes and missions are free. Most later heroes can be unlocked with earned Gold or an optional purchase. New unlocks bring campaigns, playable heroes, and historical content that also expands Endless.
Prestige Heroes
The planned final group of around ten endgame heroes is Gold-only, earned through gameplay. These heroes will not be available through direct real-money purchases.
The Living Chronicle
Build a collection of heroes across cultures and centuries. The long-term vision is around 60 heroes and campaigns, expanding over time as new chapters enter the game.

ALPHA PLANNED · Q4 2026
MYTHS COLLIDE
AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.
A tactical physics battle where legendary armies become weighty sculpted pieces. Aim with your finger, choose the arc, release the shot, and turn one precise collision into a victory worthy of myth.
Every battlefield belongs to a different world. Every army carries its own visual identity. The rules stay readable; the mastery comes from angle, power, terrain, wind, and nerve.

LET PHYSICS DECIDE.
Finger Wars turns one pull-and-release gesture into a tactical weapon. Low shots stay controlled; high arcs clear walls but remain exposed to wind for longer. Collisions matter, yet eliminations are decided only after every moving piece has stopped.
- 01Select a surviving hero and read the battlefield.

Build a private formation, secretly appoint one leader, and face a tactical computer opponent. Eliminate the enemy leader or the entire opposing army. A successful enemy cover lets the attacker continue; friendly fire can cost pieces, points, or the match.
CURRENT ARMY · FUTURE WORLD CONCEPTS
CHOOSE A LEGEND.
CLAIM A WORLD.
The 12-piece Achaean army anchors the current game. Gods, monsters, and warriors from other eras show how future worlds can share the same premium sculpted-piece language.
Achaean Host
Achilles and 11 fellow heroes form the approved Achaean army, fighting across a rugged Mycenaean arena where setup, aim, and final cover decide the battle.
Asgard
Odin previews a future Norse world shaped by runes, stone, snow, and thunderous impacts. Its final roster and release scope remain in development.
Warring States
Sanada Yukimura previews a future samurai world of temple courtyards, waterfalls, and disciplined lines of attack.
Into the Fog
Medusa previews a limited-visibility arena where nearby pieces reveal danger through the mist. The exact fog rules remain subject to playtesting.
ONE RULE ACROSS EVERY ERA
FLICK A HERO.
START A WAR.
Finger Wars is built to carry one clear tactical system from the Iliad into future mythic and historical worlds: aim the piece, release the shot, and let the final position decide the battle.
