JANISSARY BATTLES

About Janissary Battles

Janissary Battles collects the most popular games from the Janissary series into one pack. It is made for two players only, with retro pixel graphics and short, intense duels between two Ottoman soldiers. Every time you press Play, the game picks one of eight different battle types at random.

The eight battles

You might be throwing arrows, axes or spears, swinging a sword or mace, fighting in an arena, firing a catapult or trading shots with guns. Each one has its own feel, so you never know whether the next round will be about aiming, timing or quick reflexes. In every battle the goal is the same: be the first to reach a score of 5.

How to play

Sit next to a friend, press Play and get ready for whichever duel comes up. The scoreboard in the corner of the screen keeps track of how many rounds each of you has won, so the rivalry carries over from one battle to the next.

Tips

• In throwing battles, remember the angle and power you used last turn and adjust slightly.
• Play best of five battles so one lucky round does not decide everything.
