24 animal fighters. 218 battle backgrounds. Parry. Fight. Niu War is a one-on-one fighting game with touch controls and a roster full of personality. Read your opponent, find your opening, and make every move count. 24 FIGHTERS, DISTINCT STYLES Choose a fighter whose rhythm fits yours. Rush in with fast combos, control distance, take to the air, or wait for a counterattack. Niu sends rivals sky-high, while Rainbow Unicorn brings flight and rainbow magic. Different health, movement, attacks, Skills, and Supers give each matchup its own character. PARRY INTO YOUR NEXT ATTACK Hold Guard to reduce damage, or time a tap to attempt a perfect parry. A successful parry stops the hit and builds rage, creating a chance to strike back. Repeated blocks can break your guard. Move, jump, dodge, chain attacks, and choose when to spend rage on a Skill or Super. FIGHT SOLO OR WITH A FRIEND Challenge the CPU across four difficulty levels, from Easy to Insane. Or create a private online room, share its six-character code, and face a friend on another device. No gameplay account is required. Win two rounds to take the match. 218 BACKGROUNDS TO DISCOVER Set the scene with 218 battle backgrounds, from Mount Fuji to the surface of the Sun. Choose a favorite or let the background change randomly each round. PRACTISE THE UNEXPECTED Some Supers turn the fight into a quiz, rhythm performance, or dice duel. Super practice offers five repeatable minigames: math, drums, piano, a love quiz, and dice. Explore move previews and fighter strategies before your next match. Play in portrait or landscape, with English and Simplified Chinese interfaces and character voices that follow your language setting. Online matches require an internet connection. Pick your fighter. Find your opening. Ask for a rematch. A Niu Lai inspired fighting game. CHASE THE NEXT POWER-UP Gold and pastel candy question marks drift down from high above the arena. Each round brings normal drops at 5–15 and 30–40 seconds, then an enhanced drop at 55–65 seconds. Revealed items unlock after 2–4 seconds and sparkle as irregular gusts carry them up, down and sideways at changing speeds. Catch a low pass on foot or jump to intercept one; some gusts lift items beyond a normal jump. Eight effects restore health or temporarily improve attack speed, movement, basic attack damage, guard breaking, rage recovery, damage reduction or parry timing. The Shell Hammer increases guard drain from basic attacks by 70% normally or 120% when enhanced; successful parries are unaffected. A drop has a 13% chance to reveal a neutral Rabbit mine, which immediately falls to the ground and can hurt either nearby fighter. Items are enabled by default and can be turned off in Settings. CPU opponents compete for them too. Clear effect labels, countdowns, overhead icons and distinct drop, unlock and pickup sounds help you follow the action.
