CONTROLS AND COMBAT

Using the touch screen interface players are able to move their character around the world using the touch screen joystick, using a top-down isometric view manoeuvring your character in battle is easy as players tap away at the attack button to perform basic attacks on enemies. When new powers are unlocked they will appear as a separate button on the screen, typically with a cool down timer that refreshes before the player can use it.

As enemies are defeated they will drop items and currency to the ground that players must step onto to automatically pick up. Using these items and currency players are able to equip their characters with more powerful gear that they can purchase from various shops and vendors.

QUESTS AND MISSIONS

Starting with the Lion, the King of Forestia, he will send you on various quests and missions to battle against the human invaders. These missions come in the form of instanced based encounters where players must complete an objective in order to gain the rewards, experience as well as unlocking the next stage in the quest chain.

Whenever a player starts a mission they are able to get help from other Animas, real-world friends or those met in game that can join you in a mission. A friends taking part in your mission receives bonus experience points, and if players do not have any friends to play with then the game will automatically assign them a random friend recommended by their level, if friends at are too far apart in level they are unable to play together.

THE ARENA

Aside from taking on missions players are also able to step into the Arena where they can battle waves of monsters to test their skill and earn great rewards.
