Introduce about Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble
Basic rules
Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble offers a highly tactical gameplay with a high difficulty level, unlike any other game of the same genre. Players will control Brawlers on the field through cards. The field in Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble is designed like a chess board, but with only 4 squares on each side. You can place 3 Brawlers on the field, while your opponent can place all 4 squares, including the reserve Brawler standing outside the table.
Whenever a Brawler, whether on your side or the enemy’s side, runs out of health, they are removed from the match. For the enemy side, a reserve is added after all of the enemy Brawlers from the previous round have been eliminated. The match ends in victory if you wipe out all of the enemy’s Brawlers, including the reserve Brawlers. Conversely, you lose the match if all of your Brawlers are eliminated.
Play and draw cards
In Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble, the game starts with 4 cards in your hand and 10 cards in your deck. Each card you play goes into your discard pile and the game automatically draws a card from your deck into your hand. Some special cards can break this rule, allowing you to draw a few cards from your deck directly or return a few cards from your discard pile to your hand. After you kill all the enemies on the field, the game completes a wave and your deck is reset to 10 cards. If you use up all your cards before you kill all the enemies in that wave, you can’t do anything but watch your opponent attack you.
What to do on your turn?
Unlike Wave, each turn of playing cards in the game is called a turn. After using a card, click “Brawl” in the lower right corner to complete a Turn, then the Game will show you how the Brawlers fight. Then the Game will enter a new Turn and you will continue to use cards to calculate the next moves.
You should care about energy
Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble also provides another indicator, which is Energy, displayed by a number in the blue circle in the lower left corner of the screen. Each card will consume a certain amount of Energy, after running out of Energy, you will not be able to use any more cards. Energy will be fully restored after entering a new Turn.
Character (Brawler)
Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble has a total of 9 Brawlers, each with a different deck. You can bring up to 3 Brawlers into a match, and you can only build a deck from the 3 characters you choose. Each Brawler has one or more passive traits that affect how the Brawler fights. Each Brawler is assigned to one of 4 classes: Strength, Dexterity, Faith, Intelligence.
Each class has its own unique fighting style. Strength and Faith have a lot of health, Strength Brawlers’ decks are usually high in defense and offense, while Faith tends to be more defensive and supportive. Dexterity and Intelligence have much less health, Dexterity Brawlers’ decks are usually high in damage and poke enemies with poison effects, while Intelligence tends to weaken enemies with a variety of effects.
Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble will unlock 3 Brawlers for you, the remaining 6 Brawlers will be unlocked during the game. You also won’t own the full deck of Brawlers, but need to collect them in different ways in the game.
About cards in Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble
Cards in Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble are divided into 2 types: Item cards (equipment) are displayed with metal material, different from Ability cards (skills) are displayed with wood material. Ability cards will take effect immediately when you use them on any Brawler, which means it will immediately be sent to Discard and draw a card from the Deck for you. Item cards when used on a Brawler will be attached to that Brawler. Unlike Ability cards, Item cards will take effect while the Brawlers are fighting, and will be sent to Discard at the start of the next Turn. Item cards are commands for a Brawler to attack, Brawlers not equipped with Item cards will not attack in that Turn. The damage of the attack from a Brawler will depend on the parameters on the Item card.
Some Item cards can provide an additional special effect line for certain elements, shown in the background color. Specifically, the background is red for Strength, green for Dexterity, yellow for Faith, purple for Intelligence. Equipping these Item cards on Brawlers of the correct element will take advantage of the effect lines. Equipping an Item card of the wrong element will still cause the Brawlers to attack, but without any effect lines.
In each Turn, the enemy Brawlers will always attack first, then your Brawler. Brawlers on both sides will always prioritize attacking the target at the top of the row. When there are no opponents in the same row, the Brawlers will attack the enemy in the other row. You can freely change the position of your Brawlers in a Turn. The remaining health, life – death status after the end of the Turn of the Brawlers will be calculated and displayed right when playing cards, helping players to come up with reasonable strategies.
Effects on Brawlers
Additionally, a Brawler can be affected by effects, making that Brawler stronger or weaker than normal. This is a very interesting feature, making the game unpredictable. The effects in Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble are as follows:
- Fire: Brawler with this effect deals additional damage based on Fire stacks. Reduces stacks by 2 each time it is active.
- Poison: At the end of the turn, Brawler takes damage for each stack, then reduces Poison stacks on Brawler by 1.

- Regen: Each turn, restores health based on Regen stacks. Halves stacks each time Regen takes effect.
- Block: Reduces the damage the Brawler takes based on the number of Block stacks. This is automatically removed at the end of the turn.
- Armor: Same effect as Block, but is not automatically removed at the end of the turn.
