About this game
Punch Upon a Time is a team-based Smash-like where you take on rounds of mini-games and combat alongside your friends.
Choose your favorite hero or villain from our stacked roster of 11 fairy tale and fable legends! Or play as an adorable little frog.
Team up with a pair of friends or queue solo and take to the skies in Squad Saga, where your team's sky galleon acts as home base between rounds of competition against 3 Opposing Squads!
Strategize with your Squad about upcoming matches
Pick a Pocket Item to carry into your next match
Defeat opponents to damage their sky galleon and become the last Squad standing!
Embrace the chaos as each round of Squad Saga is randomly selected from our massive pool of game modes! Dunk the competition in a game of Basketball, out-last your adversaries in Red-Light-Green-Light, or knock out the enemy monarch in Long Live the King. No two Squad Sagas will play the same!
