Original story follows...


Beastopia is a turn-based RPG powered by beasts. That's how its creator describes it to me, at least.

These beasts include Vincent-Van-Goat, Doctor Hoo, Fat-Boar Slim, Jane Doe, Megunn Fox, and Stephen Hawk. While these names are jokes the game itself is not, I am told.

Beastopia was created in the last month by a small team at Mobility Games after they were given a month off their main project to "do [their] own thing."

It plays like a board game and therefore has you moving mini-figure versions of the beasts around on a grid. You battle other beasts and unlock treasure chests to win.

Before that, though, you have to assemble a team of four (out of six) beasts. Each beast has its own special skill to take into consideration during this process.

Beastopia

These skills include lockpicking, chest smashing, trap disarming, increased view range, and healing. (You can guess as to which beast has which skill.)

There will be three maps available in Beastopia when it launches tomorrow but no tutorial (one of the disadvantages of rapid game creation). However, it will be free to download so if you can't pick it up you'll have lost nothing.

Look out for Beastopia on Google Play tomorrow. We'll get you a link as soon as it appears.
