About Warlords

Black Knights defend their castle walls using shields to deflect fireballs ricocheting around the playfield. Players control a Warlord to capture these fireballs and use the Power Stone pushbutton to catapult them at opposing castles. Success depends on managing shield positioning to destroy castle bricks, which crumble more easily when hit by high-speed projectiles.

Player layout in our catalog: 4P sim.

If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.

Open Play on this page to start Warlords. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
