'''''Happy Wars''''' is a free-to-play[[labelnote:*]](if you have Xbox LIVE Gold membership)[[/labelnote]] online multi-player game by Toylogic for {{Xbox 360}}.

The core gameplay pits two teams of [[SuperDeformed comically-sized]] combatants [[TheSiege to fight their way to the opposing force's castle]] to destory the Big Tower inside [[HoldTheLine while protecting their own]]. Along the way, they must construct towers (which acts as respawn points for the team that captures it) throughout the map to respawn outside the castle area. There are also gun turrets and other weapons weapons laying around the environment such as bombs or collasping bridges to hold off the enemy. There are two ways to win a match (or round) of each game: either destory the opposing team's Big Tower by breaching their castle, or have the most captured towers before time runs out.

Each player starts the match at level one, and by achieving objectives, such as building towers or slaying enemies, they can level-up. Increasing in level unlocks new skills for the characters, including powerful Team Skills which require teammates to join in. After a match, players are rewarded with experience points to raise their ranks as well as Star Coins to obtain items with in-game currency to upgrade and customize their combatants. The game's combatants consist of three character classes:

** It should be noted however that none of the items you can buy are anywhere near the strongest of their type. On top of that there isn't a single item that can be bought with money/Microsoft Points that can't be obtained through normal gameplay anyways. This includes the super premium items however getting these via the Happy Spinner or item boxes is EXTREMELY rare.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: If players are lucky and grind enough, when they spin the wheel with Happy Stars to get a new piece of equipment worth a damn they have a chance of succeeding. If the player spends some MS points and buys Happy Tickets, they get several pieces of equipment of the type they want, guaranteed.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Fish used as swords.

** Warriors also have a Super Guard that power up their shields to become DeflectorShields. They also have a team skill called Iron Phalanx, forming a barrier of team-mate with shields.

* AutomaticCrossbows: The Ballistas which clerics can build serve as stationary examples.

* CharacterCustomization: One of the big draws of the game. You can customize your adorable castle siegers in many ways.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: The game itself requires Xbox LIVE Gold membership in order to play it, despite being free-to-play. So without a gold membership account, you may as well delete the game off your hard drives until you upgrade your Xbox LIVE account because even ''single player'' modes are locked-out to anyone with a Free account.
** MicroTransactions: There are also premium items that can obtained with Happy Tickets, which requires Microsoft Points either obtained from your credit card or redeeming Microsoft Points off pre-paid cards from your local gaming retrailer (or where else Microsoft Point cards are sold) to purchase them.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: If players are lucky and grind enough, when they spin the wheel with Happy Points to get a new piece of equipment worth a damn they have a small chance of succeeding. If the player spends some MS points and buys Happy Tickets, they get several pieces of equipment of the type they want, guaranteed.
* CharacterCustomization: One of the big draws of the game. You can customize your adorable castle siegers in many ways possible, but to really go at your heart's content, you may as well consider forking over some cash for parts...

* FakeLongevity: In order to progress further into the Story Mode, you must raise your ranks in online multiplayer first. Prior to the patch, this was a huge pain in the arse for players since the game frequently disconnect them in-game.

* InterestingSituationDuel: Some of the maps qualify. And in Co-Op mode, the computer-controlled enemy team will share a theme. [[ARareSentence So it's entirely possible for a legion of Knights to engage a group of Killer Tomatoes under the sea.]]

'''Happy Wars''' is a free-to-play, class-based team action game released on XBoxLive in 2012. Ingame, there are two teams locked in a struggle between Light and Darkness. Each team starts the match in their castle, around their "Big Tower", with several other places to construct towers (which serve as respawn points) throughout the map. To win, a team must either have possession of the most towers at the end of the match, or they need to breach the opposing team's castle and knock down their big tower.

Each player starts the match at level one, and by achieving objectives, such as building towers or killing enemies, they level up. Increasing in level unlocks new skills for the characters, including powerful Team Skills which require teammates to join in.

The Character Classes are:
-->'''Warrior''': The melee-centric class. Warriors tend to have stronger physical weapons and armor.
-->'''Cleric''': A sort of utility class. Clerics can summon materials to build various fortifications and seige weapons, and additionally serve as healers for their team.
-->'''Mage''': An offensive-centered magic class. Mages can buff allies and themselves by enchanting their weapons, as well as being able to launch magical spells, such as fireballs.

The game features a single player story campaign, as well as competetive and cooperative multiplayer.

!!''Happy Wars'' features examples of:

* AllegedlyFreeGame: Players can unlock premium items for "Happy Tickets", which can be purchased using Microsoft Points, which can be purchased using your credit card. Additionally, although the game itself costs nothing, it's only available to people who have a Gold Membership to Live.

* BadassAdorable: Due to the art style, pretty much any character counts.

* DangerousTerrain: There are the usual videogame hazards of [[BottomlessPit bottomless pits]] and [[SuperDrowningSkills water]], alongside such things as a Giant Zombie Fish. Each map also has stashes of bombs that can be rolled downhill towards opponents.

* GameBreakingBug: As of this writing, matchmaking is very slow and glitchy, with games ending due to failed connections being rather common.

* StormingTheCastle: What a match turns into when one team has all the towers and the time hasn't run out.

* SquishyWizard: Aside from having generally poorer armor and physical attacks, mages also lack the ability to block with a shield.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Averted, kinda. Although the story campaign mentions conflict between the King of Light and the King of Darkness, it's mostly over trivial and goofy things.

* JokeItem: A fairly significant portion of the armory; used tin cans and fish serve as weapons in the game.
