Peace has reigned over the verdant fields of the Garden Kingdom for several years following the Second Great Goblin War. While the greenhouses have been rebuilt and the nurseries flourish with budding new citizens, the remnants of war remain in the tales of grizzled veterans telling stories over a glass of fertilizer and dust covered outposts that remain ever vigilant for the threat of goblins from sky and land. The illusion of peace that the plants had hoped would last forever was burst one sunny afternoon day when the guards at a border outpost found themselves frozen in place by a strange looking goblin crackling with an arcane blue glow. Seconds later a goblin moving faster than any they had seen before came in and destroyed the outpost, laying it to waste and clearing the way for the marching hordes that followed over the horizon. War has come again to the Garden Kingdom, with greater threats and more powerful goblins than they’ve ever faced before. But all is not lost, in the time of peace new friends have joined the Garden Kingdom, prickly cacti, fiery Chili Peppers, deadly Dahlias and more all stand with our old heroes to drive the vile threat back to where it came from.

One day, terrible zombies try to invade your home. You need to form a powerful animals team to defeat them. You have a variety of animals with different capabilities. You have to place animals in areas in front of the house for defeating zombies before they reach your door. The animals have their own unique offensive or defensive capabilities. You’ll use your strategy to arrange the combination of animals and the fighting positions to stop the zombies. There are also 5 mini-games, each mini-game has 8 unlocked levels with different difficulty. [Game Play] The playing area has 5 horizontal lanes, zombies will only move towards along one lane. Placing animals costs coins, which can be gathered for free during daytime levels, or be generated by Piggies. Therefore, the most important strategy is to place as many piggies as possible at the beginning. Then, you will have enough coins to place other animals. You starts with two animals and two slots (how many animals you can pick in the level). The animals and the slots will be increased through completing levels. There are 30 different animals and up to 10 animals slots. At the beginning of each level, you can pick which animals you’d like to take into the level. If a zombie reaches the end of a lane, a boar will attack forward and destroy all the zombies in that lane. However, if a zombie reaches the end of that same lane for a second time, the game will end. If you like tower defense games, you’ll enjoy this casual animals defense game. Animals Battle is an easy-to-play but challenging game. All levels are unlocked. Download now and hope you can enjoy it.
