Can one well-placed shot turn a losing battle into a castle victory? What happens when every hero card fires in its own way? In Castle Brawl: Forts on Fire, choose a hero card, aim your cannon, and upgrade your tower as you conquer each level. CHOOSE YOUR HERO CARDS Every hero card brings a hero to your tower. Choose the hero card that fits your plan, then watch its cannon, shot pattern, and battle effect change the fight. Learn how each cannon behaves before the next shot. Some cannons deliver heavy fire through their heroes. Others help you control space and set up a smarter attack. Choose a combination of hero cards that makes every move count. AIM. ADJUST. FIRE. The battlefield rewards more than fast taps. Aim your cannon, adjust the angle, and fire when the shot is right.
