⚔️ The Lane Wars Playtest is LIVE — Play Free Now!

Commanders, the wait is over. The Lane Wars Playtest is now open to everyone — completely free. Lane Wars is a fast, dark-fantasy lane auto-battler. You never micro units — you build, summon, gear and position your army, then it fights on its own. Every decision counts.

🎮 How to join

  1. Go to the Lane Wars store page

  2. Click "Request Access to the Playtest"

  3. It installs to your library — jump in and play!

✨ What's inside

  • Two lanes, one goal — raze the enemy base

  • Auto-producing buildings — barracks, archers, stables & siege spawn troops for FREE

  • 10 unique heroes — each with an active skill AND a passive

  • 24 items across 4 tiers — forge carries or unkillable tanks

  • Mega Creeps — topple a team's towers and monstrous reinforcements march

  • Human-like AI across 4 difficulties, from Easy to Nightmare

  • Full endgame breakdown — damage charts, net-worth graphs, scoreboards

🗣️ This is a Playtest — your feedback shapes the game

I'm a solo developer, and Lane Wars grows with your input. Found a bug? Have an idea? Think a hero is too strong? Tell me in the discussions — I read everything. Online 1v1 multiplayer is in development for a future update, and the Playtest is where it takes shape.

❤️ Want to help?

  • Wishlist Lane Wars — it genuinely helps a solo dev get seen

  • Invite your friends to the Playtest

  • Follow @VoltariStudio on X for updates

See you on the battlefield, commander. ⚔️ — Voltari Studio
