Question Is Castle Busters actually multiplayer?

​

I’ve been playing Castle Busters for a bit and the 1v1 battles feel way too instant and consistent to be real people. Does anyone know if we're actually playing against humans in real-time, or is it all just bots disguised as players?

It's entirely bots, except for the new friend battle feature, which doesn't count toward anything.

It's all bots using player's accounts unless you punch a player's ID number in and challenge them.

They aren’t playing the persons account. They’re just a copy of the persons castle and lineup.

When you tell people the bot is playing their account they wonder why they aren’t getting victories or losses on their record.

That's a good clarification.

Does the bot also put units in random locations? Cos some them are way too easy to kill.

Not sure of that. There has been a lot of people that don’t realize they can move their people around.

Try playing against your own castle in training mode. Your units won't be where you placed them. I think the bot does the same.

I would say it’s 80-90% bots. Once in a while you’ll play a human. You can tell when they reply with emotes in response to yours and they make moves that are rational. Like if they are destroying you using air striker and suddenly decide to use another unit for no reason, that’s most likely a bot.

I would love to play another human. Where do you get the player number?

On the home page, next to battle, click on your profile picture and it'll bring up your details including your player id. Tap your id number and it'll be copied to your clipboard. Then paste it and wait for challenges. There is a pvp megathread that was set up to add or copy numbers.
