Forge an army of creatures to defeat your opponents in epic battles across distant lands! Duel against your friends online, or conquer the campaign to unlock new parts that upgrade your creatures' stats and abilities. Will you emerge victorious?
Gameplay
The gameplay loop revolves around designing and customizing armies of creatures, engaging in strategic battles, progressing through a campaign to unlock parts, and competing in online battles. The key elements are as follows:- Army Design: Players start by designing their army of creatures. They select and customize different creatures with parts that have unique stats and abilities. These choices will form the foundation of their strategy in battles.
- Epic Battles: Once the army is designed, players engage in epic battles against opponents. These battles could be against AI-controlled enemies in the campaign mode or other players in online battles. Players need to make tactical decisions based on the strengths and weaknesses of their creatures and also according to different restrictions which may be imposed on the battle.
- Restrictions: To make gameplay interesting, arenas are designed in such a way that impose certain restrictions on creature design. A central body of water may require creatures to swim through it, or rough winds may cause lighter creatures to be flung around!
- Campaign: The game offers a campaign mode where players conquer various lands and face different challenges. Successfully completing campaign battles rewards players with new parts that can be used to enhance their creatures' stats and abilities. This progression element adds a layer of depth and strategy to the gameplay, as players continuously improve their army over time.
- Progression: As players progress through the campaign or engage in online battles, they unlock new parts, abilities, and enhancements for their creatures. These upgrades can be applied to their army, allowing for greater customization and specialization to adapt to different battle scenarios.
The creation tool consists of three different modes:
- BUILD: Customize the shape of your creature by manipulating its spine and attaching transformable body parts. Altering your creature then changes its statistics (e.g., weight, speed, health etc.) and attaching certain body parts gives it special abilities (e.g., flying, swimming, biting etc.).
- PAINT: Change the color of your creature’s body and attached body parts, as well as the pattern and texture of your creature’s skin.
- BATTLE: Use your creatures in battle! They will procedurally animate to adapt to their environment.
