Everybody’s getting in on the creature assortment motion currently. After all, there’s Palworld. After which HoYoverse teased a recreation set within the Honkai: Star Rail universe, even that includes characters from the motion RPG. There’s additionally the brand new Digimon recreation introduced throughout Summer time Sport Fest. And now, now we have Xbox throwing its hat within the ring with Pawprint Studio’s creature assortment recreation, Aniimo.
A free-to-play recreation, Aniimo has gamers amassing magical creatures that can be utilized in fight in an open world. New talents could be unlocked for the creatures utilizing the “Twining” mechanic.
Primarily based on the trailer, the sport shall be cute. However, based mostly on what we see of the sport’s mechanics in that trailer – and the truth that the sport is F2P – the priority is that gamers shall be doing gacha rolls to get their fingers on these cute critters relatively than capturing them. It’d make sense. Cash does should be made one way or the other.
The opposite level made by Reddit is that the trailer is fairly paying homage to the DokeV trailer. And, yeah. It truly is. Though I’ve to say, the character design in Aniimo is a little more interesting to me, regardless of each being cute. All that stated, it could not matter a lot. We haven’t heard a lot from DokeV, and a launch date has by no means been set, whereas Aniimo is anticipated someday in 2026.
