A humorous tower defense strategy game for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR, in which you defend the Earth against an invasion with the help of… super-powered animals.
Animal Force is a humorous tower defense strategy game, in which you defend our planet against an alien invasion. Your troops consist of animals gifted with superpowers. The game utilizes VR technology ans is exclusive to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR. It was developed by Chinese company ISVR.
Animal Force is an FPP game. Your task is to fight back against the aliens (usually by preventing abductions), using three types of animal units. Each animal has its distinct abilities, adjusted to be effective against a different kind of enemy. Thus, to succeed, you need to pick them appropriately and put them in the right spots, countering the enemy's attacks. As the game progresses, you can also develop your troops' abilities. There are 20 types of opponents to fight, as well as several boss enemies.
Animal Force features a singleplayer mode, but also a local co-op mode. The singleplayer campaign consists of several dozens of missions divided into chapters. In the co-op mode, three other players can you, using the dual shock controllers, while the game is shown on the TV screen.
Animal Force features simple 3D visuals. The style was clearly inspired by animated movies, such as Toy Story or The Incredibles.

NEOsite: 2.5 / 10 by Daniel Stroński
Animal Force perfectly shows that VR technology itself is not enough to make a game work. You have to have an idea for a gameplay which this title clearly lacks.

If you're curious to see how the tower-defense genre converts over to a virtual reality setting, Animal Force is worth the purchase.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 6.5 / 10 by Paulmichael Contreras
Animal Force has a cool idea, as it introduces gamers to tower defense in 360 degrees. But its execution feels more like a tech demo than a fully fleshed-out game. A massive difficulty spike in the second world will leave many players desperate for any sense of progress, and leveling up units takes a long time when one is stuck on a particular level. A trio of local multiplayer games gives players something else to do when they're tired of the inevitable grind, at least. A bit more time spent balancing such a new form of tower defense could have gone a long way towards making Animal Force more enjoyable. At $15.99 ($12.79 for PS Plus) USD, it's not a terrible buy, but it could have been a hit with just a few more tweaks.
