About PigWars

What it is

PigWars is a free auto-battler. You raise a pig, spend its stat and skill points, dress it, and send it to war. Once the battle starts you cannot touch it: the pig decides everything itself, and if it dies and nobody revives it, it is gone for good. It runs in a web browser at pigwars.app/play and on Android, with one account and one server behind both. How the game works explains the rules, and the guides go deeper into stats, skills, battle behaviour and clothing.

Who makes it

PigWars is an independent game, designed and built by a very small team. It is in early access: it changes often, it has rough edges, and we say so on the front page. Nothing is hidden behind a paywall, and nothing you can buy or earn makes a pig stronger.

How it is paid for

The game is free. It is paid for by advertising: optional ads you can watch for a cosmetic reward, and an occasional full-screen ad between two battles, never during one. Ads never change a battle. The details, including what data an ad provider may receive and how to refuse, are in the privacy policy. The in-game currency, truffles, is earned by playing, cannot be bought, and has no cash value.

Content made by players

Players can design clothing skins in the Skin Studio and battlefields in the map editor. Nothing a player makes appears in the community gallery before a person has reviewed it. Any signed-in player can report a skin or a map; several reports hide it until we have looked. We can refuse or remove anything at any time. The rules are in the terms and the guides to skins and maps.
