Scan your cereal box. Claim your city.
Players scan any product barcode or QR code to discover a fighter with its own AI-painted portrait, raise and train it, then take it onto a real-world map to claim restaurants, parks and landmarks and defend them against other players.
Every barcode always produces the same fighter, so a can of soda in Charleston prints the same fighter as one in Chicago. Fighters grow from small recruits, train in gym games and fight in turn-based battles with timed combos, charged specials and parries.
Key features
- Scan anything: every barcode prints a unique, repeatable fighter
- Claim real places and link them into territories
- Asynchronous turn-based PvP, with live battles when both players are online
- A daily Hero of the Day video highlighting the top fighter
- Free to download and free to discover
