About
Kiln is a pottery power-fantasy that celebrates both Creativity and Destruction: the pleasure that comes from both making beautiful things, and then smashing those things to smithereens. Create your pot, grab your friends, and join a team of colorful spirits who face off against one another in online arenas, where the ceramic creations you sculpt on a pottery wheel become the bodies you bring into battle.
The shape of your pots affect your attributes and your play-style. Will you be big, or small? Wide, or tall? Will you make a plate, a jug, a cup or a bowl?
There are a multitude of different sizes and combinations to discover, each with unique abilities and attacks, along with new and surprising ways to play. Work together to find the best combination of pots and play-styles to break through enemy lines, and collect enough water to douse the flames of the enemy’s kiln — Does your team have what it takes to shape and smash your way to victory? As the battlefield becomes strewn with the shattered fragments of friend and foes alike, your brawling skills and some great teamwork will be required to assure victory.
Become a Master Potter – Manipulate realistic clay to craft and decorate in an immersive pottery wheel experience featuring a variety of tools and techniques.
After the battle is won, head to The Wedge to practice your pottery prowess, decorate your pots to make them yours, then share your creations with others (and admire their handiwork, too).
Create and Destroy Together! Making pots and breaking pots are both better with friends. Hang out, experiment with clay and share what you make, or jump right into multiplayer battles and start swinging!

Kiln is a cracking game, if you like splatoon you'll probably enjoy it, you have to quench the other team kiln before they quench yours, you can create 3 different sized pots all having different skills, large pots are great for defending and pack a punch just slow for mobility , medium a good all rounder, small pots are great for speed but carry the lest water of the other two. you get to be creative with your pots as well great game for pvp short enough so there no time to get frustrated just simple fun
A very in depth pottery making simulator disguised as a pretty fun little multiplayer game. It was fun to craft my pots and I was very impressed at how many I could make, their are 8 different pot types and each have 3 different gameplay types. It's all wrapped up in Double Fine's charm and awesome art style. I'd say play this one if you want a fun time while it still has a very active player base.
very creative game has lots going for it. great game
Enjoying this game so far but I have a few QOL suggestions: PLEASE let us change our preferred team colors or have more team colors in the rotation besides green and purple!! Can there be some sort of brush that lets you do stripe only for better painting? And/or something that just lets you glaze the charms Getting 50 smashes via firing in seems impossible. The rest of the achievements seem doable and I have been doing them but FIFTY is a large large number. Can there be more eye stickers? I want my pots to be little creatures not just cats and dogs (do love love love that dlc pack though) Can I move where my spirit hole is when I am decorating? Can it be more clear when Potty resets? Is is a set time of day or like 18/20 hours after you beat him up. Also for later levels can there be some more unlocks for the shop since it takes more time to level up? This is everything I can think of right now. Having a lot of fun with this game, especially sculpting! If you're thinking about getting this game it's on Xbox Game Pass and it has full crossplay (if you have an Xbox/Microsoft account) and that's what sold me on this.
Yessss I love glazing potsss...! Fun game! Looking forward to future updates from this title! LOVE how each different pot (24 in total) has unique animations....So cute !!
this game is very epic!!!! -i love that you get to make and break your own pots, how you get more interesting parts and glazes as you play so the longer you play; the more complex your pots become -the maps are awesome, they all have personality, cool themes and interactive parts!!! can't wait for more!! -i like that it is NOT free to play, i am sick of battlepass slop and love how you get more stuff just from making stuff and playing the brawlers -i love that it is casual. i play a lot of competitive games so its nice to play a laid back brawler with little stakes and main focus on experimentation things i hope to see in the future: -MAYBE an undo button? i'm in two minds about this because while one wrong move can mess up your pot, i kind of like the imperfect side to it as it reflects real pottery, accepting flaws -more types of pot class, more types of special abilities -the combat is a little all over the place, sometimes its responsive, sometimes not. there is also inconsistencies in how stunning works and being able to interrupt 'super splashes' i imagine stuff like this will only improve over time (i hope) but all-in-all i love the game and plan to continue playing it with friends!! all i want is more of everything!!
Great Game! Use of xbox is kind of annoying but with windows you just need to add your buddy via the xbox app and have them link there steam account to there xbox live account so its easy to find them is not to bad.
I am a big fan of double fines games and I will say I do like this game so far. I am also an artist (mainly working with illustration and somewhat painting)and seeing a brawler with pottery is a refreshing and helps with giving me a way to make pottery. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is really good. Positives With making the pots there is a good variety and a lot of cosmetic options and variety of vessels to make. The fighting styles are interesting and are fun when you find the right style that fits your styles. I also like the simplicity of the game it’s not to complicated with its game loop and it easy for people to pick up the gameplay quickly Downsides and small critiques The vessels are very diverse but I think it would be cool to add more tools that would utilize the cross sections. Like hollowing out a section of the vessel and having it affect the water capacity. It can variety with customization and fighting styles (depending on how it goes) While I don’t really mind playing online, I can see some issues with it being only online since it’s could be harder from some large party that want to play but can’t do it because it’s only online. There is so far only one mode to the game so far. To me I do like the quench mode because it short and quick and I love the repetitive gameplay with it, but it can be draining it you want something long gameplay time. So one thing that I’m looking forward to see within the game is more modes. This is a very small one but I would like to see more customization with little spirits. I feel like the could possibly have small customization like a small hat or eye wear like glasses. The positive side to this is that it help others distinguish themselves to others and add more personality to their spirits and to the pottery vessels. The possibly downside to this will be that it could affect the view of the vessels so I don’t think it would work but it’s good for thought. Some that would be interesting for modes roulette brawler: where you could have all the vessels in a battle area but could choose from an opponent top self. Brawling area: a number of vessels are Put into an area where they possible have a number of respawns. The last person who survived the explosion battle wins. The final kiln: there is only one kiln in the area. Like in overwatch, one team has to move the active kiln to a designated spot with another team trying to spot the team and quench it. Art showcase: this one is mainly just working with the decorative gameplay but I think it would be cool to have a mode where either a number of vessels go into a showcase challenge where they make a vessel in a specific amount of time, where the time runs out the players would have to vote for there favorite and the top numbers get the higher prizes with everyone getting participation points for there efforts. A possible story mode ( a big stretch but would be very interesting): this one could be tricky but I feel like there is a story that can be told here. I curious about Celadon especially since with the fact that she looks similar to the spirts that inhabit the vessels and it looks like they were ceramic clothing. I want to learn more about them and to possibly learn why Celadon is encourages the cycle of destruction and rebirth within making pottery. Especially with some of the dialogue hinting at a since battle. But all in all it is a solid game so far and I’m excited to see more updates in the future.
A fun unique game that suffers from a lack of players, a lack of content and abhorrend performance on both my intel and my nvidia rig. I will recommand it soley because its a really fun idea with fun gameplay and great visuals BUT keep in mind that player count is lacking and performance is bad. More game modes would also be a good idea. I will probably get back to the game in a few month, maybe they can fix it. But for now im gonna refund.
