Bonkhalla

Mission briefing

Choose one of 6 heroes and battle endless waves of monsters across three unique biomes: Forest, Desert, and Graveyard. Collect experience, level up, and combine 12 weapon types with upgrade tomes to unlock powerful evolutions: the Sword transforms into a Holy Blade, the Fireball into Inferno, and Lightning into the Thunder God! Over 30 items, 30 quests, 10 challenges with unique rules (one-on-one with bosses, no healing, glass cannon) and a shop with permanent upgrades — every run will feel unique. Survive 10 minutes, defeat the final boss, and try to endure the Final Storm!

Field manual

Weapons attack automatically — focus on moving and dodging enemies. Collect experience crystals — upon leveling up, choose a new weapon, upgrades, or tomes. Bring a weapon to level 5 and pick the right tome — and you'll unlock a powerful evolution! Smash pots and chests for loot, activate shrines for temporary buffs. Defeat mini-bosses and the final boss before time runs out — otherwise the Final Storm begins! Earn silver and upgrade your heroes in the shop between runs. Complete quests and challenges for unique rewards.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for action operations

• First run is reconnaissance. Spend it learning where the danger actually spawns from instead of chasing a score — most action games announce their patterns honestly in the opening minute, then repeat them with worse manners.
• Movement is a defensive stat. A moving target at half health outlives a stationary one at full health in nearly every game on this board, so keep relocating between shots, strikes and reloads.
• Learn the exit before the entrance closes. In arena and chase games alike, the players who survive longest are the ones who noticed the second doorway while everyone else was watching the first.

Bonkhalla — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play Bonkhalla?

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is Bonkhalla?

Bonkhalla is filed in our Action theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run Bonkhalla on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. Bonkhalla is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
