The amazing world of the Battle Cats

I’ve liked this game for a loooong time! You DONT have to pay to win, the Gacha machines are FAIR, units are COOL, Lore is complicated in a good way somehow (almost like FNAF) and best of all, The game play loop is simple AND fun! Plus PONOS (the creators) keep updating it and making it better every year!

Absolutely flabbergasted.

I’m genuinely speechless after playing this, the rush and calmness and the no wifi. Best mobile game. Change my mind.
