In a darkly comic world where animal factions fight over who gets to eat and who becomes food, you lead a commander through a civil war. The single-player campaign follows the conflict across different factions.
You move the commander around the battlefield to gather food, build structures, and rally troops. Buildings produce units, while food pays for expansion and armies; you choose a set of units before each match.
Battles focus on quick decisions about where to build, gather, defend, and attack, with the commander’s position shaping what you can direct. Procedurally generated maps vary encounters, and the game also offers online competitive play and local split-screen matches.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its unusual, simplified take on real-time strategy, its animal-revolution setting, and its pixel art and music. Some appreciate the quick matches and playing with friends, while others find the restricted unit control makes battles or campaign missions frustrating. Several reviews also mention a small or inactive online player base.
