Once again, the depths of the universe stir to life, and the threads connecting the stars begin to tremble. Breaking the silence of the past, the scorching flames of war bare their fangs from one end of the galaxy to the other, sweeping the innocent world into the vortex of destiny—. Animals empowered by the opening of a dimensional rift undergo a rapid evolution in intelligence and spark conflicts across the land. This is the Cat-Ball vs. Dog-Ball conflict. Along with this power, the dimensional rift brings “Gears”—over-technology in the form of mechanical weapons from another world—to Earth. One week later, the Dog faction relocates its living sphere to space, and the striped titmouse, roasted by the Shimaenaga Dango, also ventures into space. One day after the Cat-Dog Peace Accords were signed, a faction of the Dog faction—dissatisfied with the order of the Cat and Dog names—attacked the Cat faction’s base on Earth, resulting in the loss of 30% of the human population. The Long-tailed T**s, seeking revenge against their Earth-dwelling counterparts, dropped a massive meteorite onto the planet. As a result, the human population plummeted to 30% of its pre-war level. This marked the beginning of the Cat-Dog Space War. Win by fulfilling the victory conditions in various fields. Simple 5-minute matches! You can use a controller if it’s compatible! In space, you can’t move without thrusters, so you’ll need to think strategically when configuring your craft. Each stage has its own unique characteristics, so even those who aren’t good at action games can approach the battles like a puzzle. ● Recommended for: ・People who don’t have much time but want to enjoy a deep gaming experience. ・People who are concerned about data usage and don’t want to use up their mobile data while out and about. 【Voice Cast】 Narration: Ondoku-san Character Voices: “VOICEVOX: Miko Sakuraka” “VOICEVOX: Tsumugi Kasukabe” “VOICEVOX: Zundamon” “VOICEVOX: Kotaro Shirakami” “VOICEVOX: Shuji Suzumatsu” “VOICEVOX: Hau Amahare” “VOICEVOX: Ryusei Aoyama” “VOICEVOX: Sorin Kigashima” “VOICEVOX: Ritsu Hane” “VOICEVOX: Metan Shikoku” “VOICEVOX: Ryusei Aoyama” “VOICEVOX: Chibishiki-ji” “VOICEVOX: Saehaku Kurosawa” “VOICEVOX: Go-oni” [Free Audio] Song Title: Neika by “Maoukon” Song Title: March of Steel by MFP [Marron Fields Production] Song Title: Real Robot W by Yoshinori Tanaka Song Title: Scipio by Yoshinori Tanaka Song Title: Richelieu ~Lonely Justice~ by Yoshinori Tanaka Song Title: Siege by Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi Song Title: Snowy Peaks by Private Manbo Song Title: Battle - Desert by lei Song Title: Moonwalk by Manira Song Title: The Serpent Scroll Composer: Manira Song Title: Tatsumi Composer: Ryota Song Title: All Or Nothing ~A Hail Mary Pass~ Composer: Yoshinori Tanaka Song Title: The Never-Ending Journey, Triumphant Hymn at the End Composer: Noru Song Title: Save the World written by Composer: ilodolly Song Title: Tell the Truth written by Composer: i.tam (Neko Liquid App Battle Edition) Song Title: District 6 Composer: Keisuke Ito Song Title: Space War written by Yuri (from Yuli Audio Craft) Song Title: Daylight written by gooset (Nekorikid App Battle Edition) Song Title: Hyakki Yashō written by Notzan ACT Song Title: Zen written by Yuhei Komatsu Song Title: Game Clear! written by Manira Song Title: A Counterattack Arrow By the way.

Watch the combat unfold. Adapt or fall. BUILD YOUR ACADEMY Scout unproven youth from the Slums, Iron Peaks, or High Gardens. Assign mentors, manage training, and watch your adepts grow into legendary warriors--or break under the pressure. COMMAND THE BATTLEFIELD Deploy your 5-hero party on a tactical 2x4 grid. Position tanks on the frontline, protect your healers in the back, and watch the tick-based combat unfold. Every formation choice matters. MASTER 8 UNIQUE CLASSES Each class brings distinct abilities and aging curves. Physical heroes peak early but decline; mages remain powerful into their twilight years. CRAFT YOUR ARSENAL Discover equipment with powerful effect affixes--Lifesteal, Phoenix Grace, Formation Master. Use Runes of Flux, Power, and Polish to forge the perfect loadout. But beware: all gear degrades, and fallen heroes take their equipment to the grave. NAVIGATE THE FACTIONS Curry favor with The Iron Decree for military might, The Sanguine Conclave for forbidden magic, or The Night-Silver Pact for gold and secrets. Each alliance unlocks unique benefits--and burns bridges with others. SURVIVE THE CYCLE Edicts reshape the rules of combat. Adapt your strategy or watch your guild crumble. Defeat the Final Boss to Ascend, unlock higher World Tiers, and prove your guild's dominance.
