A quiet autumn forest is waiting for its new inhabitant. Begin as a lone fox and choose your own path through the wild. Run between the trees, discover new places, collect coins and take on challenges hidden across the world. Every completed mission brings experience and helps you prepare for what lies ahead. Your journey will gradually become a family story. Find a partner who will travel and fight alongside you. As you continue progressing, your family can grow with the arrival of a cub. From that moment, you will no longer face the dangers of the forest alone. Each member of the family can become stronger. Improve health, energy and damage, decide how to spend your rewards and prepare your companions for increasingly difficult encounters. During your travels, you can unlock new fox variations with different appearances and characteristics. Choose the one you like and continue developing your family. The forest is inhabited by many creatures, but some of them are much stronger than ordinary opponents. Find powerful animal leaders, enter special battles and test whether your family is ready to stand against them. There is always something to do: — complete missions and earn rewards; — explore a large autumn environment; — collect coins hidden throughout the world; — unlock additional foxes; — develop your character, partner and cub; — fight dangerous creatures; — receive gifts for returning to the game. Joystick sensitivity can be adjusted in the settings for more comfortable movement. Begin your woodland journey and write the story of your own fox family.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Wild Forest at Free against Polar Bear Simulator's $0.99. Wild Forest also leads on update cadence (every 14 months vs every 47 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Polar Bear Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (368 vs 3). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
