Kemono Friends Festival

About

Kemono Friends Festival is a mobile RPG from Goodroid and Nexon that tasks you with collecting and training a cast of cute animal characters. Gameplay revolves around a vertical slingshot combat system where you deploy these creatures each with unique skills to battle through stages. The game follows a gacha model letting you pull new units to build your team. While it borrows mechanics from titles like Monster Strike its charm comes from the colorful roster and lighthearted theme. The game's appeal lies in its adorable art style and simple but engaging combat loops. Community feedback often praises the variety of characters and the satisfying progression of leveling them up. However service has been discontinued since 2020 and the game will shut down entirely on October 31 2024. Players can still download it until July 1 2024 but should note the impending end of service. For those looking to try it now it offers a self-contained experience with no reliance on ongoing updates.
