About Cannon Brawl
Cannon Brawl puts you in command of an armed airship, merging real‑time strategy with 2D artillery fire. You direct cannons, flamethrowers and lasers while juggling combat priorities across chaotic battles. The game offers a single‑player campaign of twenty missions across five environments and a competitive 1v1 online mode with ranked matching, private duels and full controller support for local tournaments.
01 / THE GUIDE
Real‑time strategy and artillery blend
The core loop mixes 2D artillery shooting with continuous strategic decisions, creating intense tactical battles where positioning, weapon choice and timing matter.
Because combat unfolds without pauses, staying focused on priorities—such as targeting enemy airships or defending key terrain—becomes essential to survive the madness of battle.
- Observe how enemy movement shifts after each artillery strike to anticipate their next position.
- Keep a defensive weapon ready while advancing to react to sudden attacks.
02 / THE GUIDE
Units and pilots selection
Cannon Brawl provides over fifteen weapon units and five distinct airship pilots, allowing many strategic combinations when you pair pilots with different units.
The variety lets you choose a long‑range warhead launcher for a turtle‑style approach or a high‑ground missile rain for a rush strategy, encouraging experimentation before multiplayer.
- Pair each pilot with a different unit to see which feels most natural.
- Match a unit’s range to the battlefield layout you expect.
03 / THE GUIDE
Single‑player campaign adventure
The campaign spans twenty missions across five unique environments, with big boss fights spanning the missions, and unlocks new units as you progress.
Advancing through the kingdom charts new territory and provides a sandbox for mastering weapon handling before entering multiplayer competition.
- Use early missions to practice aiming with each unit before tackling boss encounters.
- Observe enemy patterns in each environment to adjust your loadout accordingly.
04 / THE GUIDE
Online competitive play
Cannon Brawl supports 1v1 ranked matches, private friend battles, and local tournaments via full controller support, with results recorded on Steam Leaderboards.
Private matches let you experiment with unconventional unit‑pilot combos without affecting rank, while ranked matches test those combos against the broader community.
- Test new combos in private matches before using them in ranked play.
- Watch opponent positioning to anticipate where their artillery will strike.
