Royal Recoil

Royal Recoil is a duel combat game where you face off against your knight-rival in a chaotic joust, with the goal of toppling their card castle. 

• Dodge your opponent's attacks 
• Bombard targets with bouncy balls
• Use your rebounds to turn the tide against your nemesis

  Only the most skilled will become the undisputed champion of the arena!

Royal Recoil was forged in the heat of the Ubisoft 2025 Game Lab Competition, taking shape over an intense 10-week battle of creativity.
