Navigate a kingdom where animal-inspired characters, known as Friends, require tactical leadership to defend their home. This role-playing strategy game combines automated battle systems with precise manual intervention, tasking you with deploying units and timing special abilities to exploit enemy weaknesses. The core loop involves exploring a vast park, engaging hostile creatures, and managing a growing roster of collectible heroes, each with unique combat animations and skills.
Gameplay centers on a dual-phase combat mechanic. You initiate each encounter by launching your lead Friend via a paper airplane device, which amplifies the power of the first strike. Success depends on calculating the optimal trajectory and angle to target an opponent's vulnerable point. Following this manual deployment, your team engages in automated attacks, continuously dealing damage until the enemy is defeated. You retain control to activate powerful special abilities at critical moments, interrupting the auto-battle to turn the tide.
The game features an extensive collection of characters, all derived from animal archetypes and possessing distinct personalities. Each Friend is rendered with detailed 2D animation, particularly during special attack sequences that showcase their unique abilities. The artistic design extends to varied in-game environments within the park setting and includes fully animated story sequences. The visual presentation prioritizes clarity during action while maintaining a consistent, stylized aesthetic across all menus and battle scenes.
