About Animal Times

JOIN OUR DISCORD (link is on the right bar)Command animal armies and conquer territories in this turn-based strategy game where every attack can backfire! Master blunder-style combat, where failed strikes let defenders capture your lands. Bold moves win big in this high-stakes battle for cunning victory.

Command Animal Armies in Tactical Territory Warfare

Animal Times Demo brings classic territorial conquest to life with a brutal twist - every attack can backfire spectacularly. Choose your animal faction and battle across interconnected territories where bold moves can win big, or lose everything in an instant.

Blunder-Style Combat System

Forget simple win-or-lose dice battles. Subtraction-based combat where higher rolls deal damage equal to the difference. Roll a 6 against a defender's 3? They lose 3 armies, not just 1. But beware - when your entire attacking force gets eliminated, the defender counter-attacks and captures your territory.Every strike carries real stakes. Mutual destruction scenarios trigger epic battle continuation until one side claims decisive victory. No stalemates, only glorious triumphs or devastating reversals.

Strategic Multiplayer Warfare

Battle 2-6 players online in turn-based territorial conquest. Choose from six distinct animal champions - beaver, koala, llama, meerkat, panda, or pig - each with their own detailed avatar and faction colors. Watch the battlefield transform in real-time as these animal armies clash across the map.                                                                                                                                     Feel the tension mount as dice determine your fate. Your overwhelming attack suddenly crumbles into tactical disaster. Witness the moment when enemies you thought you'd crush instead capture your own territory. Every battle brings nail-biting uncertainty where victory and defeat are separated by a single roll.

Territory Management

Master the art of positioning armies across connected territories. Every placement matters when a single miscalculation can lose you everything. Turn-based warfare means waiting as opponents make their moves, knowing your carefully built empire hangs in the balance.Watch as your empire expands or contracts based on the fortunes of war. See territories slip from your grasp as bold attacks turn into strategic collapses. The battlefield shifts constantly, and today's conqueror becomes tomorrow's victim.

Strategic Blundering

Animal Times rewards calculated risks while punishing reckless aggression. The blunder-style combat system means that overwhelming force can suddenly become overwhelming defeat.

You must attack every turn - the strategy lies in choosing WHERE to strike and HOW MANY units to commit to each potentially doomed assault. In a world where every attack can backfire, victory belongs to those who understand the art of strategic risk.

This game combines risk fun and rage all in the same time. The artwork is simple and easy to understand, with a lot of easter eggs on the map, also by buying this game you support indie developers, all in all i would recommend this game to anyone!

It's a great game for Risk-like game fans, but also for casual gamers with a competitive spirit. The game design and the characters are interesting. The designers did a very good job on that one. The soundtrack is also quite good, as it blends well with the overall experience. All in all, I highly recommend giving it a try.

The gameplay is easy to understand and it requires planning and thinking ahead. I especially like how the animal theme gives the game its own identity. It has a solid foundation and a lot of potential for future updates, new characters, maps and features. A great choice for enyone who enjoys turn-based strategy games and tactical battles.

This game really surprised me in a good way. It’s a turn-based strategy game with dice, a bit like Risk, but with its own fun twist and a lot more charm. The animal factions (panda, pig, llama, etc.) give it a lot of personality, and even though the map is pretty simple, the gameplay still feels strategic and engaging. There’s some luck with the dice, but it never feels annoying, it just makes each turn more exciting. Overall, it’s easy to get into and pretty addictive. If you like strategy games with a bit of randomness and a unique style, this one is worth a try.

Animal Times is an addictive strategy game that resembles Risk. It is fast and easy to play. It features a cute and charming animal design with a catchy pirate tune. The game easily hooks you into that well-known "just one more turn" feeling until you're three hours deep. Recommended if you like board games, it is really relaxing.
