Build a squad of cute capybaras and animal friends, merge three into one stronger friend, and watch them battle on their own. Your first win takes about a minute. Capybara Arena is an auto battler with real strategy. Each turn you buy friends in the shop and set your battle line, then the fight plays out automatically against a rival squad. Quick rounds, smart choices, lots of capybaras. • BUILD YOUR TEAM — Draft from 48 animal friends: capybaras, a toucan, a caiman, a sleepy sloth, even a jaguar. Order matters: your front friend attacks first. • MERGE 3 INTO 1 — Three copies of the same friend merge into a bigger, much stronger one with a sharper ability. • THE CLOUD FOREST — 16 more friends from the misty cloud forest bring new team ideas to your shop. • CLIMB THE LADDER — Win 10 battles before you run out of hearts and rise through six leagues, from Sandbank to the Golden Onsen and the open-ended Legend League. • ENDLESS CHALLENGE — Wave after wave, each one stronger than the last. How far can one squad go? Climb the season rankings. • SNACKS AND GEAR — 16 picnic snacks and items that change the math of every fight. • GOLDEN ONSEN THEME — Steam, paper lanterns and floating yuzu across the whole arena. • CHALLENGE A FRIEND — Share your squad as a code; your friend pastes it in and battles your team. • PLAY ANYWHERE — Plays offline, no account needed. Short rounds made for one hand, in 18 languages. The whole game is playable from start to finish. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
