BATTLE STARTS!

Battling UI



Your profile on the left. Your health bar, and your name!

If arrows are on your side, it means you start first and get a damage bonus. If arrows are on the enemy side, they will start first and get the bonus. On the screenshot it shows I have +2 bonus on STR.

Animal's profile on the right, their health bar and their name!

You can see on the BATTLE LOG what is happening! The latest moves are on top! The battling system is very dynamic and updates instantly, but it's a turn based game and you can plan your strategy!

NPC Abilities
Animals have many different abilities that you can discover during fights, for example Large animals can't really be trampled, Cowardly animals will be more afraid of your roar, while Venomous snakes can kill you very fast with their bite attack... Adjust your tactics to specific enemies to win battles easier.
