Planet ÆRTH is toast. Literally shattered into space CHONKS. Thanks to the MOONLINGS… tiny chaos gremlins who thought crashing their MOON into the ÆRTHLINGS’ home planet was a “good idea.” The ÆRTHLINGS had to go into deep cubernation just to ensure their survival, but the destruction was so violent they were ejected from their world and into ours. In the aftermath of the MOONCRASH, the ÆRTHLINGS, stranded on EARTH, are scattered across our world, waiting to be returned to ÆRTH and awakened from cubernation. Now it’s up to you to put ÆRTH back together and bring all the ÆRTHLINGS back home while defending against those pesky MOONLINGS. • Each of the ÆRTHLINGS has their own unique attack and MUTÆTION tree. • Collect and scan all 24 ÆRTHLINGS Genesis Collection NFC-enabled figurines (available at Amazon, Big W, EB Games, Target and more!) • Can you find the four limited edition Seed Series I figurines? Available at special launch events from 28 September. • Trade ÆRTHLINGS figurines with your friends to expand your collection and earn MUTÆTION points to evolve your ÆRTHLINGS. Starting off on a CHONK of ÆRTH, you’ll explore, expand, chop, smash, and craft your way through survival challenges, and rescue stranded ÆRTHLINGS who may or may not remember what happened to their beloved home planet. Meanwhile, the MOONLINGS keep showing up to steal the ÆRTHLINGS’ gear, cause trouble, and generally be the annoying little trolls they are. Game Features: • Build your collection of ÆRTHLINGS by trading the NFC-enabled figurines with friends. • Explore, Expand & Survive while putting the pieces of ÆRTH back together. Discover a world of diverse biomes full of surprises. • Craft Gear & Build Tools to fix CHONKS of ÆRTH (and defend your gear). • Outsmart the MOONLINGS. They’re sneaky, loud, and not half as clever as they think they are. • The epic story of saving a planet has never been this ridiculous. ÆRTH is broken. The heroes are… underdogs. The enemies are ridiculous little menaces. And somehow, YOU are in charge of fixing it all. Download ÆRTHLINGS and prove you’ve got what it takes to rebuild ÆRTH (and maybe troll some MOONLINGS along the way). A network connection is required.

Uninstalling. ### 4/5 — Love it but I’m disappointed *2026-07-22, version 1.5.2* I love this game I was very disappointed that I found out that what I thought of the trading concept was wrong and I thought that when I traded something I would be able to keep the figure and whoever I traded it would just get upgraded version digitally but I didn't know that wasn't the case but even though that sounds really stupid I'm sad there's no way that I can trade back my figure so i hope there is a way for that to be fixed but i love this game overall ### 5/5 — Wouldn’t work:( *2026-07-10, version 1.5.1* I’m giving it 5 stars cuz its a cool game concept but I don’t have a phone and my iPad doesn't have a scanner function ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-10, version 1.5.1* But could use some more music ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-08, version 1.5.0* This is game is fun & easy to play. ### 4/5 — AMAZING 🤩 *2026-07-07, version 1.5.0* It’s so amazing. I don’t think there’s any ad and you can play with friends and family. It’s fun where you can collect stuff like little creatures. And you could play games where you battle other creatures and then you can save your world. It’s so fun and I think everybody should play this game. ### 5/5 — Game is great *2026-07-07, version 1.5.0* The only thing wrong is when the quests dont pop up or the hearts dont and sometimes the moonlings get stuck under ground other then that i love it ### 4/5 — This game shows a lot of promise *2026-07-05, version 1.5.0* I found this game through Torc’s video and ended up buying two Ascension figures. They won’t arrive for another three days, so I’ve only been able to play the free-to-play side so far, but I’m honestly impressed. The core gameplay is fun, and it has a lot of potential. I think it could really take off once the blind box figures start showing up in stores and the game reaches the point the developers are aiming for. That said, I am currently locked out of progression. After joining the Discord, I found out the Character Request missions are currently bugged, which can completely halt your progress depending on what areas you’ve unlocked. It’s also possible that the game expects you to own more figures to access enough Character Requests, but right now it’s hard to tell because of the bug. The world editor also has a lot of potential, but there are a few quality-of-life improvements I’d love to see. More customization options would go a long way, and a storage system for non-trashable items like rocks and trees would make building much less frustrating. Right now, if they’re in the way, you have to manually move them back and forth instead of storing them until you’re done. A top-down camera mode would also be a huge improvement. The current camera makes it difficult to select and edit tiles that are lower than the surrounding terrain. If a tile is boxed in by higher ones, you often have to lower all of the surrounding tiles just to access the one in the middle, then raise everything back up afterward. A top-down view would make terrain editing much smoother and eliminate a lot of unnecessary extra work. That said, I’m also progression-locked because I can’t upgrade the Geomancer Hut until the quest bug is fixed. Since that means I haven’t unlocked every world editing feature yet, it’s entirely possible that some of the issues I’m experiencing are addressed later through progression. I can’t say for certain until I’m able to continue. One final idea: I know a PC version is planned, and I think it would be really cool if there were an optional USB or Bluetooth “portal” accessory that let you scan your figures into the PC version. It would be a fun throwback to games like Skylanders, and I think a lot of people would buy it for the nostalgia alone. Including an exclusive Aerthling with the portal would make it an even more appealing collector’s item. Even with the current issues, I’m still optimistic. The game has a solid foundation, and if the progression bugs are fixed and the world editor gets a few quality-of-life improvements, I can see myself putting a lot more time into it. ### 5/5 — More than just a game *2026-07-01, version 1.5.0* This is a really fun idea for a game, physical figures, trading, as well as bringing your figure to life in the game. The lineage factor was especially interesting to me. The fact that I can trade with someone else. And keep my figure digitally still but also get to see all the other times that figure gets scanned down the line is such a cool concept. The app is fun even if you don’t have any figs to scan and you can unlock other characters through just playing (although you can’t trade those) ### 5/5 — This game is awesome *2026-06-28, version 1.4.4* It’s kind of like sky landers if it was also a world restoration game. I’m so excited to buy the figures when they start releasing them in stores. ## Frequently asked questions about AERTHLINGS ### What is AERTHLINGS: RPG Adventure about?
