Engaging gameplay of Raft Wars

Turn-based battles

When playing this game, you must participate in the boat fights to help Simon's brothers protect their treasure. Simon's brothers and their enemies take turns shooting at each other. Your mission is to help two brothers to aim their shots accurately and then shoot at their rivals. Do your best to make your opponents fall out of their boats or run out of their blood. Note that you should not aim at kidnapped people. Instead, you need to protect them while fighting against your opponents. Your ultimate objective is to complete 11 levels and defeat different foes.

The upgrades and weapons

After winning each boat battle, you will be rewarded many credits. Note that the sooner you can take down all rivals on the beach, the higher your reward of the level is. You can use your credits to invest in upgrading your weapons and raft. Purchasing new weapons is necessary to defeat more powerful opponents. You also need to upgrade your weapons to raise their damage and improve their accuracy. Two purchasable weapons in the store are bombs and ships. You can use 300 credits to buy a bomb while a ship is worth up to 500 credits.

Furthermore, upgrading your raft will help to defend against the attacks of your opponents. This game offers 4 rafts with different features.

• Standard Raft: At the start of the game, Simon's brothers will sit on an orange bean bag raft and a yellow duck raft and battle with the enemies.
• Raft with dog: You need to use 1500 credits to upgrade from the standard rafts to the rafts with a dog on the back. This raft is bigger and the dog will protect two characters from falling out of the raft.
• Raft with a friend: After you upgrade the raft, a friend of Simon's brothers will appear and help them defeat their rivals.
• Raft with high sub-base: If you upgrade the raft, the sub-base of the raft will be heightened. This helps you aim more accurately and eliminate further foes.

Great strategies to win Raft Wars

As you navigate through the game's levels, you will encounter increasingly challenging opponents, which require you to master the art of strategic gameplay. If you want to be victorious in the battles, follow these tips that I suggest for you.

Perfect Your Aim

If you want to win this shooting game, precision is paramount. You should take your time to aim your shots carefully and consider the distance from you to the enemies, obstacles, and enemy movements. For example, at Level 3, there is a hippo between you and your rivals. Therefore, you need to aim higher to evade the hippo and help your projectiles reach your enemies. Remember that a well-aimed shot can make all the difference in hitting your target and securing victory. While aiming for your targets, you should stay focused, remain calm, and avoid hasty decisions.

Utilize Bounce Shots

The second tip I want to recommend is to master the art of bounce shots. If you want to eliminate the enemies behind the trees, you should use the environment to your advantage. Let's shoot you at walls or objects to surprise opponents and land hits that would otherwise be impossible. In addition, you can kill two enemies with one projectile by utilizing the art of bounce shots.

All villains in Raft Wars

This game is famous for its cast of villains who have great shooting abilities and fighting skills. Here are some of the notable villains that you face off against in the game:

• Pirates: They are the first opponents of Simon's brothers. They appear at levels 1 and 6 and stand on a wrecked ship. Cannons are their weapons with great damage.
• Vikings: You will meet three Vikings at levels 2 and 8. They will throw their axes at you, so you should be careful.
• Simon's neighbors: After the news about Simon's treasure discovery is spread, his greedy neighbors attack him to steal his treasure. Their weapons are special because their guns will launch tennis balls. You must fight against them at level 4 and 10. In particular, at level 10, the neighbor family kidnaps Simon's parents.
• City Folk: The city folks will appear at level 3. They will use their pistols and turtle bombs to shoot down you with one shot.
• Savages: At level 7, your opponents are three savages who wear scary masks. Their weapons are flaming arrows.
• Japanese Warriors: They are your rivals at level 5. You should watch out for their shurikens and eliminate three Japanese warriors.
• Simon's parents: It is possible to say that they are the surprising final boss in this game. Because they have a thirst for Simon's treasure, they decide to kidnap their sons' friends and combat their sons.
