Get to Know About Raft Wars (3rd Version)

You know those games where you feel like a pirate captain and a mad scientist at the same time? That’s the vibe Raft Wars 3rd Version throws at you from the get-go. You’re still that feisty kid and his dad bouncing around on a makeshift raft, blasting through waves of bad guys with everything from cannonballs to laser guns. This time around, the map is bigger, the enemies are wilder (we’re talking ghosts, ninjas, even a shark riding a rocket!), and the stakes feel a tad higher.

Controlling your shots never feels stale, because you’re constantly tweaking angle, power and pick of ammo type. One level might have you soaking up wind gusts to nail a moving pirate ship, while the next throws in exploding crates that rain coins on you if you pull off the perfect ricochet. And let’s be honest: hearing that satisfying “ka-boom” as your cannonball sails over a guard’s head and clatters into a barrel never gets old.

What really spices things up in this third round are the nifty new upgrades and side objectives. You can shell out those hard-earned coins on rocket packs, homing missiles or even bubble shields that bounce enemy fire right back. Plus, there are daily challenges that reward you with extra stars—because who doesn’t want to show off their sniper-style cannon mastery? Every now and then, a bonus mini-game pops up, letting you target flying pineapples or piranhas for an extra coin haul.

At the end of the day, Raft Wars 3rd Version keeps that same goofy charm and easy pick-up-and-play feel that made the originals so addictive. It’s casual enough to jump into for five minutes on your lunch break, yet sneaky enough to lure you into a two-hour spree of perfecting your shot trajectory. If you’re looking for a low-pressure blast-’em-up that still throws fresh curveballs your way, give this one a whirl—you might just find yourself grinning after every splashdown.
