What is Punch Upon a Time?

Punch Upon a Time is a team-based party platform fighter developed by Supersaurus. Fairy-tale heroes and villains compete across combat rounds, sports and mini-games rather than following a single fighting-game format.

In Squad Saga, your three-person team shares a sky galleon and faces three opposing squads. Choose a Pocket Item before a round, win matches to damage rival airships, and fight to become the last squad standing.
