You dodge. They attack.

A rabbit swings carrots around itself. A fox throws fireballs. A tiger leaps into the crowd. Put them in the same pack and things get busy fast. You steer the group through alien hordes while your animals attack on their own. Keep an eye on the ground, find a gap, and use your leader's skill when the pack needs a way out: Godon hurls stones straight through the crowd, Yazaki cuts a path with crossing sword slashes.

One more for the merge

The shop has a beast you already own. Buy it for the next merge, or save your gold for someone new? Matching beasts merge into higher star ranks, and their attacks evolve along the way. Get Atomic Kaiju to three stars and watch its beams tear through the horde in several directions.

Make room for a better combo

Pack slots are precious. Sometimes the right recruit is the one that completes a tribe or system bonus, and you see it happen on the field: Pack beasts link up with ropes that enemies have to chew through, and Ice beasts freeze anything that lingers too close. Items come in Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond, and you decide who carries them. Swap beasts between your formation and reserves until the combo clicks. Once you unlock custom decks, you can choose which animals go into your recruitment pool before a run.

Take on something bigger

Push through the forest, cross the sandstone desert, and head into a snowy pine valley. Bosses like Stormeye put your dodging and your team to the test, and the final boss arrives at minute 30. Between runs, the Sanctuary unfolds from the pages of a magic book. Spend your Wild Souls on a new leader or a new chapter with 20 more animals, then check the bestiary for the evolutions you haven't seen yet.
