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.
