* PowerEqualsRarity: Premium and Super Premium items. Most other items in the game fail to measure up to either of these two item rarities, even after they've been powered up to level 15.

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 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. Players can purchase high-grade items through the item shop or Happy Cards (basically booster packs of equipment) with Happy Tickets, [[MicroTransactions but they're going cost what you got in your wallet]]. The game's combatants consist of three character classes with future updates to add sub-classes to the primary three. They are as follows:

* WeaponOfXSlaying: The Warrior/Cleric/Mage Slayer buffs

* GuestFighter: The Blue Knight and Barbarian from ''VideoGame/CastleCrashers''

** The Berserker update [[BrokenBase broke the entire game's playerbase, literally.]] The update was initially launched without any fanfare to the surprise of new players and a handful of veterans. However, the update did not launch with an auto-update mechanism so the only way to get the update was to delete the game, clear the Xbox 360 cache, and redownload. As a result, those with the update are unable to play the game with the part of the playerbase that didn't. There are also reports of Berserker-updated players having their items and happy tickets reset upon receiving the update.

* GuestFighter: The Blue Knight and Barbarian from ''[[VideoGame/CastleCrashers Castle Crashers]]''

* OldSaveBonus: Unlocking achievements in other Xbox games would earn players a free premium item during a couple events, notably the ''CastleCrashers'' and ''{{ilomilo}}'' promotions.

* StopHelpingMe: The multiplayer bots' idea of helping with cannons and ballistae involves ignoring anything else going on to help build(like other players attacking you), attacking any walls you put up to keep OTHER bots/players away, getting in the last tap to steal the NonCombatExperience from building the thing and then taking a seat on it and either doing nothing or not shooting where you intended... and there's no way to force a friendly bot off a tactical weapon.

** The Engineer: A sub sect of the cleric class focusing more on tactical weaponry and a new team skill allowing the engineer to mount an offensive assault mech.

** The Berserker: An advanced version of the Warrior which trades out the shield for the ability to [[DualWielding dual wield]].
