Games Like Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble

Welcome to the Rustbowl Rumble - the great tournament in all of Meteorfall - where the likes of sozzled bearbearians and nuke-addled snotwolves battle it out for a chance to win the legendary Mask of the Uberlich. Win over legions of fans and help fill Bramble’s pockets as he seeks to rebuild his once-mighty arena.

Play cards, maneuver your allies, and brawl in fast-paced battles.

Winning the Rustbowl Rumble isn't about fighting fair - it's about winning. The crowd demands spectacle! Take advantage of Wild Cards to change the rules of the brawl, exploiting them to your advantage.

Poor, sad Bramble. One night, in a fit of idiocy, he gambled away the rights to his coliseum in a seedy saloon at the far reaches of Meteorfall.

While moping around the wastelands the next morning, he happened upon a mask that once belonged to the villainous Uberlich himself. The gears began to turn (albeit slowly) in that grizzled brown head of his. Some time later, a very rare stroke of genius befell him: he could offer the Mask of the Uberlich as the ultimate prize in a new tournament, attract the greatest heroes and deepest-pocketed fans, and rebuild his mighty Arena!

And thus, that fateful tournament, dubbed “The Rustbowl Rumble” was first conceived. However, as Bramble later realized - sometimes when you hit rock bottom, life hands you a shovel.

Between bouts in the arena, you'll take a break in Bramble Town, where you'll have an opportunity to upgrade your cards, train your heroes, or just enjoy the sights. There's not enough time between brawls to do it all, so you'll have to make critical decisions about which vendors you want to visit.

Deckbuilders sometimes take too long and don't always respect your time. Rustbowl Rumble has been designed from the ground up to be not just deep and challenging, but also quick to play.

Rustbowl Rumble is the third game in the Meteorfall series. The first was Meteorfall (2017) followed by Krumit's Tale (2019). You don't need to play other games in the series to enjoy Rustbowl Rumble. Each game has very different mechanics, but take place in the same universe and have many of the same characters.

Despite the mechnical differences, Rustbowl Rumble carries on the series tradition with a common theme of card-based combat, wacky characters and a roguelike gameplay loop.
