Game Overview
Stickman War is a side-scrolling action game where you control a shadow knight and fight nonstop enemies. You move through dark stages, clear waves, and face a boss at the end. There’s no story to follow closely. The focus is on fighting, surviving, and getting stronger.
Core Gameplay Flow
You choose a character and difficulty, then the fight begins right away. Enemies appear from both sides of the screen. Some are weak. Others hit hard and rush you fast.
You attack, jump, dash, and keep moving. Standing still usually gets you hit. Clearing a wave brings the next one. Every stage ends with a boss that hits harder and takes more damage to kill.
Enemies drop gold and items. Between stages, you spend them on upgrades. Stronger stats make later stages less punishing, but mistakes still cost you.
Control Scheme
- Move left and right with A and D.
- Jump using W.
- Dash with K.
- Attack using J.
- Special skills are on keys 1 to 4.
The controls stay the same the whole game.
What Makes Stickman War Stand Out
Levels get harder fast. Difficulty modes actually matter. Survival mode removes stages and just keeps sending enemies. Upgrades change how strong you feel, not just numbers. Boss fights force you to move and time attacks instead of button-mashing.
Combat Tips for Tough Stages
Don’t rush groups alone. Dash out when surrounded. Save special skills for bosses or heavy enemies. Upgrade damage early so waves don’t drag on too long. Longer fights usually mean more mistakes.
