About Kiln

Kiln poster

Kiln is a pottery-themed action game that revels in both making and breaking, celebrating the satisfaction of crafting something beautiful and then smashing it to pieces. You begin by sculpting a pot on a pottery wheel, and that creation becomes the body you carry into online arenas, where teams of colourful spirits face off against one another. The shape you choose directly influences your attributes and play-style, so whether you build something big or small, wide or tall, or opt for a plate, jug, cup or bowl, each form carries its own abilities and attacks.

With a wide range of sizes and combinations to uncover, discovering the right mix of pots and tactics is central to victory. Teams work together to break through enemy lines and gather enough water to douse the flames of the opponent's kiln, and as the battlefield fills with the shattered remains of allies and rivals alike, brawling skill and coordination decide the winner. Between matches you can visit The Wedge to hone your craft, decorate your pots to make them your own, and share your handiwork with others while admiring theirs. Creating and destroying together sits at the heart of the experience on PC.
