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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Animals Battle at none against Plants VS Bugs's 7. Animals Battle also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.7). Plants VS Bugs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 28 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Animals Battle holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plants VS Bugs has 185 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Plants VS Bugs's written reviews are positive against 0% of Animals Battle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Plants VS Bugs ships an update every 3 weeks, Animals Battle every 28 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
