You play as a warlord in Warlords , defending yourself from three human or computer opponents. The battle takes place around a castle with each player positioned in one corner, guarded by the castle walls. You control a small shield that can be moved along the edge of the castle to protect yourself.
The objective is to prevent the ball from hitting your castle. If it does, it will destroy some of the bricks and create a hole in the wall. If the ball passes through the hole and hits you, you are out of the game. The last player standing wins each battle, with the first player to win five battles declared the winner.
