The story revolves around escalating tensions in heaven that lead to a tournament where mortals are pitted against each other in battles. Players engage in single-player missions with unique objectives, adding depth and replayability as they strive to achieve three-star ratings for each battle. The narrative serves as a backdrop for both single-player and multiplayer modes, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
- “There are loads of problems up in heaven; it almost escalates to a full-out war. But they get an idea: 'Let's do a tournament and let the mortals fight.' That is where it all begins. The single-player battles consist of interesting objectives, like 'win the battle with at least 3 more towers than the enemy.' These objectives add fun and variety to the game, as you can earn 3 stars for every battle, making it enjoyable to strive for perfection in each mission.”

The gameplay is great, the graphics are cute, and there are no issues with framerate stability or performance. The developers are also fantastic and respond quickly.”
