Happy Wars

Happy Wars is a multiplayer online game, defined as a role-playing strategy game, although it also has a single player skirmish mode and a short story-driven single player campaign mode. In the main multiplayer mode, players are separated into two teams: the Light Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom. Each team consists of 4-15 players. There are 12 maps to play on, each map having a different number of towers and match time limit.

Towers are used as respawn points for when a player is killed, and they can choose to respawn at any tower belonging to their team. A castle belonging to either team is located on both ends of the map, with the team's big tower in the center. The inside of the castle is blocked by a castle gate at the front and barriers on top of the front and side walls, which can be destroyed by attacks. The main goal of each match is to build up towers for the player's team and destroy the opposing team's towers while also defending their own.

The Xbox 360 version of Happy Wars received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN cited lack of players as a concern with the Xbox 360 version and that "Happy Wars went too far in the direction of accessibility with its few classes, lack of distinctive weaponry, and simple game modes." Official Xbox Magazine UK compared said console version to Awesomenauts, but noted that players who pay for additional content appear to have an advantage over other players.

Jason Venter of GameSpot said that the same console version was "difficult to recommend because of the game's matchmaking and connection issues." A content update was released in November that attempted to fix the connection issues and other small game fixes.
