About This Demo

The food chain is fighting back.

Bunnies in thimble helmets. A hedgehog paladin with a pebble war hammer. A skunk whose stink cloud clears a whole battlefield. In Critters vs. Predators, the smallest animals in the garden band together against the foxes, snakes, hawks and barn cats that hunt them.

Collect your squad

- 33 critters to collect, from healers and mages to hunters, rogues, berserkers and tanks, each with their own attack and special ability.

- Earn each critter's badges to unlock it, then promote it up to five stars.

- Level them up, fill six gear slots per tier and craft better parts from the ones you find.

Fight on auto, or call every move

- Battles play themselves: watch your plan pay off.

- Or switch to manual: attack, defend, taunt with your tanks, or unleash an ability, with a timer to keep the fight moving.

- Click any enemy to focus your squad on it, and watch out: the predators call targets of their own.

Out-think the food chain

- A hedgehog up front stops a fox's pounce. A guinea pig's squeal snaps allies out of a weasel's trance. A frog's tongue yanks a stalking barn cat out of its pounce.

- Five chapters across the barnyard, the garden, the wheat field, the tool shed and the cornfield: 10 nodes each, three stages a node, on normal and hard.

- Every chapter ends with a boss: the young predator on normal, its grown-up parent on hard.

Test your squad

- The Colosseum: 20 floors of hard predator squads that reset every week, with Old Red on floor 10 and Big Grizz the bear on floor 20.

- The PvP arena: set a defence squad and climb the ranks against other players' critters.

Band together

- Join a guild, chat, and raid: the whole guild chips away at the barn cats over three days, with a prize pool of gold, badges and gear shared out by the damage each member dealt.

- Events every few days feature one critter and pay its badges.

- Try the free demo: your save carries over when you buy the game.

Fair by design

- No pay-to-win. Nothing that makes a critter stronger is for sale. Every critter can be earned by playing.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The character art, character poses, battle backgrounds, item and interface icons, the 3D models used in the opening cutscene, the music and the sound effects were created with generative AI tools that we ran on our own computers. We wrote the prompts and designs, then reviewed, selected, corrected and edited every asset by hand: flawed results (extra hands, extra heads, wrong colours) were regenerated or fixed before anything went into the game. The fonts are human-made open-licence fonts, and the game design, characters, abilities and all written text are our own.
