Our Expert Score

89/100

Catapult King is the 3D evolution of the physics-puzzler genre. Instead of a side-scrolling view, you’re behind the catapult, looking down the sights at a tower full of smug knights. The perspective shift makes a huge difference—it feels much more immersive and tactile.

The magic abilities are where the game truly shines. Launching a meteor or an earthquake to finish off a stubborn tower is immensely satisfying. The levels are cleverly designed, often requiring you to hit a structural weak point to cause a satisfying chain reaction of falling stone. It’s polished, funny, and provides hours of 'smash-everything' fun.

Catapult King is a first-person physics-based puzzle game where you take control of a massive trebuchet. Your mission is to rescue the kidnapped princess by destroying fortified towers and the knights guarding them across over 100 levels. As you smash your way through the kingdom, you earn magic points that can be used to enchant your catapult with devastating powers like Earthquakes and Lunar Strikes. With its beautiful 3D graphics and humorous characters, it’s a delightful spin on the classic destruction genre.

Tips

Finding Structural Weak Points

Don't just aim for the knights. Look for wooden supports at the base of the towers. Knocking these out will cause the entire stone structure to collapse, taking out everyone inside with a single shot. Efficiency is key to earning 3 stars!

Using Magic Wisely

Magic is a limited resource. Save your heavy-hitting spells (like the Tornado) for levels with moving platforms or protected knights that are difficult to hit with standard boulders.
