About ANIMO STARS ARENA

What is ANIMO Stars Arena?

ANIMO Stars Arena is a multiplayer mech game from ANIMO Industries, Inc. Players pick an animal pilot, such as a puppy, a bird or a snake, and put it in the cabin of a custom-built mech. The studio describes itself as a team of industry veterans, and Steam lists the game as an action, casual and free-to-play title with third-person shooter and vehicular combat tags.

How to play

Each mech is assembled from a cabin, an engine, a bumper and two weapons. Engine options include treads, hovercraft, spider legs and wheels, and the weapon list includes grappling hooks, flamethrowers, sniper rifles and lasers. Paint themes and skins change how a mech looks. The official site lists four modes. Team Rumble is a team deathmatch where the first team to 30 points wins. Protect and Retrieve is capture the flag, won by the first team to secure three cores. Rogue Royale is a free-for-all in which every player has three lives and the last one standing wins. Ranked Rumble is the competitive mode, where wins raise a ranked score from bronze toward champion.

Where it stands

The Steam page lists the game as coming soon and free for Windows and macOS, with a free demo to download and a Kickstarter campaign running. The official site also links an Epic Games Store page and shows PlayStation and Nintendo Switch badges without store links. A Mech Builder is marked as coming soon. Neither the official site nor the Steam page mentions a blockchain, a token or digital ownership, so no crypto features are part of the current public description.

Our verdict

ANIMO Stars Arena is a multiplayer mech game from ANIMO Industries, Inc. You choose an animal pilot (a puppy, a bird or a snake, for example) and seat it in a mech you build from five parts: a cabin, an engine, a bumper and two weapons. The engines cover treads, hovercraft, spider legs and wheels. Weapons include grappling hooks, flamethrowers, sniper rifles and lasers. Steam tags it as a free-to-play third-person shooter with vehicular combat.

The mode list is easy to read. Team Rumble is team deathmatch, and the first team to 30 points wins. Protect and Retrieve is capture the flag, decided at three cores. In Rogue Royale every player gets three lives and the last survivor wins. Ranked Rumble moves you from bronze toward champion.

The game isn't out yet. Steam lists it as coming soon for Windows and macOS, with a free demo and a Kickstarter running. PlayStation and Switch badges appear on the official site with no store links, and the Mech Builder is still marked as coming soon.

It's listed here under Ethereum and Polygon, but neither the official site nor Steam mentions a blockchain, a token or digital ownership. Anyone looking for crypto features won't find them in the public material. Players who want a casual, part-swapping arena shooter can try the demo.
