In Battimals players will use the DNA of an array of animals to build up a team of four unique battle animals, known as Battimals. These Battimal will compete head to head against other players’ Battimals in online matches, where only one team can be victorious. Through the blending of each new animal’s DNA, the player’s Battimals will transform, taking on a percentage of the appearance of each animal added, as well as that particular animal’s stats. Compete in 8-player online matches consisting of multiple rounds. Match up with opponents through online matchmaking, or create your own lobby and invite your friends. Rely not only on the Battimals blended stats to get the edge but also on a multitude of available upgrades that boost those stats. As well as choosing the strategic battle positioning for each Battimal allowing for a more defensive or evasive play. With over 50 animals to choose from players have over a quadrillion different combinations of Battimals to create and compete with, guaranteeing that nearly every match will have a new Battimal that hasn’t been seen before.
