Stack Fighters is a battle-puzzle fighter where every match you make is a punch in a cascading 1v1 brawl. Stack colored blocks, chain combos, and unleash devastating ultimate abilities against six warriors drawn from history. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • STRATEGIC PUZZLE COMBAT — Four block types, four combat effects. Strike deals damage. Vitality heals. Spirit charges your ultimate. Tactics sends debris to jam your opponent's board. • SIX UNIQUE FIGHTERS — Each character has an elemental affinity for extra damage on matching blocks, plus a signature ultimate: – Phraya (Thailand) — Giant's Roar – Akiko (Japan) — Silent Stroke – Ragnar (Norse) — World-Crush – Citlali (Aztec) — Blood Moon – Alaric (Knight) — Iron Wall – Zoya (Nomad) — Sandstorm • STORY MODE — Play a goofy, lighthearted arcade ladder for each fighter. Forty-two hand-crafted cutscenes follow your warrior's quest for the Ancient Scroll of Ultimate Bragging Rights. Reasons characters fight include: a lost mead bet, a misspelled bracket, and a stolen pickle. • MULTIPLAYER — Battle a friend nearby over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or match online through Game Center. Live match play, real damage, real debris, real rematches. • GAME CENTER — Climb the Most Victories leaderboard. Chain five cascades deep for Combo Master. Complete every story for Legend of All Six. HOW IT PLAYS Drag 3-block pieces left and right. Tap to cycle the block order. Swipe down to slam. Line up three or more matching blocks — horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — and watch the cascade unfold. Gravity drops fresh blocks into the gaps, triggering new matches for bigger combat payoff. When your MP bar fills, unleash your ultimate with a two-finger swipe-up. Lose too much HP and it's over. Overflow your board and it's also over. Simple rules, infinite depth. FEATURES AT A GLANCE • 6 fully-voiced characters with distinct fighting styles • 42 story cutscenes across 6 arcade paths • Local 1v1 multiplayer (no internet required) • Online 1v1 multiplayer via Game Center • Rematch flow — no re-pairing between matches • 3 Game Center leaderboards, 7 achievements • Latency indicator, synced ultimate cinematics • Designed for iPhone, portrait orientation • No ads.
