Toylogic has today released title update 11 for its free-to-play cartoon battler Happy Wars, making the game playable for free Xbox Live Silver members, with a few slight caveats, of course.

Multiplayer, Missions and the Treasure Map modes are off-limits for free Xbox Live Silver players, though the rest of Happy Wars is free to explore. Training Mode and Single Battle Mode have been revamped, enabling players to now earn score items and Happy Stars.

The other major new addition is the 'Bounty Hunters' mode, tasking teams with competing over their total bounties earned. You kill enemies, conquer towers and destroy the enemy Big Tower to earn bounties, while earning bounty raises the bounty on your own head. Reaching a certain bounty amount first means that team wins.

Playing Bounty Hunters mode will reward you with exclusive cleric items, including the Station Master's Hat and Coat, Choo-Choo Hammer and Express Train Rail. You can play Bounty Hunters mode from today until January 29th. Get the full Happy Wars title update 11 patch notes below.

Major Update content

  • Added a new game rule: “Bounty Hunters”
    • Teams win by earning a certain bounty amount.
  • Item Level-Up mechanism has been changed
  • Items now have an “Item Experience point” value. Items gain experience through “Item Power-up” as before, but can also gain experience by being used in Multiplayer. When the item accumulates a certain amount of experience, it levels up.
  • Happy Wars is now playable for Xbox Live Free members
  • All game modes are available, except for Multiplayer, Missions, and the Treasure Map.
  • “Training Mode” has been changed into “Single Battle Mode”
  • Single Battle, unlike Training, gives players score, items, and Happy Stars.
  • However, players can only reach a maximum rank of 20 in Single Battle.
  • Fixed an issue that was preventing the game from progressing in “Castle Defense” mode.
  • Fixed various other known issues.

  • Sorry it Not Bad
  • Do people still play this? Is there still a respectable online community? By the time I decided to download it and try it I was having issues finding a game and gave up on it after a day or two, I didn't realize this was still a supported title.
  • Last I checked it was dead =S ... So why update a dead game.?
  • Dead? I've been playing it again over the last couple of months and never had a problem finding a multiplayer or coop game within seconds. Sometimes you have to wait a little for enough people to join to be able start the match (especially when there are large or full parties in the lobby), but that's more the exception than the rule.
  • This game is far from 'dead' and saying so only shows your inability to actually check. It's a good game that costs nothing to play and is still streaming with matches.
  • I always managed to get a game last time I tried was a month ago though and all I can say is about bloody time those modes should have been free for silvers and they should make all of it free then there would be a boom up in online players by atleast 3 fold
  • @ 5+6 - I did say " last time I checked " it also may be what 5 said maybe I'm just not allowing enough time. No need to get arsey 6!
  • Co-Op mode has been very hit and miss trying to find a game but the normal multiplayer and the special events are usually easy to find games. My biggest complaint about the game is that they've never integrated a visual counter for the quests. They have the values being tracked in their coding, they just need to add a display code for each quest.
  • I downloaded it back when it was in beta and it was mediocre romp at best. Nothing out of ordinary here, even if it's free. Since I can afford other games, that are way better that's where I spend my time. I still have actual game sitting HD with about 20 other arcade titles I have yet to play...
  • Not started up this game since they added more achievements :P I wanna it to keep saying I completed the game 100% at 400g xD
  • I just got 600g like 2 weeks ago, I'm not planning to return to this game, was fun at the end though
  • Not at all a dead game in any way. Good to know that they still work with it though.
  • Locking F2P behind Gold stops it being F2P.
  • @14 You jelly bro? Keep up the great work guys that have 100% completed games. I just completed battlefield 4 on xbox one myself!!!
  • no 17 not at all, i have completed games of my own im talkin about these guys who wont play a fricken game cause of a completion. its so dumb
  • It would be nice if they raised the xp you get from matches. It takes way too much time to reach 50. Nobody wants to play a game like this for that long.
  • Love this game. @19- I second the increase of xp... maybe dubxp or tripxp some days... especially now that weapons can be leveled up through use during matches now. It has been very easy to find matches so it could just be some of the regions or times that people try to get into them. It is very fun except for the few matches where your team just completely drops the ball... but that's just part of the game. Tons of fun though.
