In this unique and refreshing tower defense game, players don’t use knights, tanks, or robots as per the norm. In this case, cats are the ones doing the damage, death and destruction – with a sprinkling of cuteness added to the mix. Use Battle Cats with amazing abilities to destroy enemies and make sure that your own defenses are good enough to take on the opposition. Here’s our guide on how to play Battle Cats and how to make sure that you can always stay on top of the competition.
Gameplay
Battle Cats is a tower defense game where in players can maintain and upgrade cats that they can then deploy in the field. The goal in the game is to destroy the enemy’s tower while making sure that your own tower does not get invaded. In order to do this, making sure that your cats are strong enough to control the field is important, and ensuring that your towers are also upgraded properly is also essential. Experience and other items earned must be used to strengthen your army so that stages of increasing difficulty can be cleared.
Currency
Experience and cat food are the two main currencies within the game. Experience can be earned by clearing stages, and this can be used to purchase new cats as well as to upgrade whatever cats you may have already acquired. Experience can also be used to improve on the abilities of your tower, making it more productive and effective both offensively and defensively. As players can earn experience by clearing stages, it should be important to note that stages that have already been cleared will yield less experience when played again.
On the other hand, cat food is the premium currency within the game. It can be used to replenish your energy as well as to purchase some special items. Cat food may be acquired via in-app purchases, but is not mandatory. Players may also earn cat food by taking up special offers within the game as well as via daily log in bonuses.
Energy
Energy is required in order for players to enter a particular stage. Different stages will have different energy requirements, and players must then ensure that they always have enough. Energy regenerates over time, so all players will have to do is wait in order to be able to play again. A good way to maximize game time is to exhaust all energy before exiting the game, and then returning once it has filled up again. Moving your device’s clock settings forward and then going back to the game is also a an effective strategy, for now, to instantly replenish your energy. Lastly, maximum energy may also be increased by purchasing the appropriate upgrades using experience.
Cats
Your cats are the main units that you will need to deploy during the game. Different cats have varying abilities and statistics such as speed, range, power, defensive abilities, and more. Cats also have different money requirements in the field. New cats may be purchased using experience, and they may also be upgraded using the same currency. Cats may also be evolved upon reaching a certain level, and at this point, cat food must be the currency that is used in order to proceed with evolution, resulting in a more powerful Battle Cat that will be more effective in battle.
Only a limited number of cats may be utilized during each stage. Thus, players must be able to choose which cats they would like to bring, and this would all depend on the player’s strategy and the type of cats that they would be facing during the stage especially since different cats are a better match against some while less effective against others.
Money
Money is a type of currency that is only available during battle. Money regenerates at a steady rate, but there’s a certain capacity that will limit the amount of money that you can have. By spending money, both regeneration rate and capacity can be increased, allowing you to deploy cats faster for as long as their cooldown times have already passed. Money will also be returned as players by defeating cats in the field. Purchasing the appropriate cooldown will improve both production rate of money as well as the maximum amount of money that you can carry.
Tower
The two main things that players will have to take into consideration with regards to their tower is their offensive and defensive capability. Offense wise, players can upgrade their cannon, which can then be used from time to time in battle. Experience can be used to both strengthen your tower’s cannon as well as reduce its cooldown time. For defensive purposes, players can increase your tower’s health using experience as well.
In addition to the above, experience can also be used to upgrade different statistics such as experience and money earned. These upgrades can be done by spending the appropriate amount of experience. The higher the level, the more experience that you will have to spend.
Bonuses
Players may also get to earn experience, cat food, and other special items by logging in daily. The more consecutive days that you play the game, the higher the prizes you will win. After a month of logging in continuously, players will be able to earn a rare cat that they can use in the field. Thus, play every day in order to get the most out of the game and to be able to win some great prizes in return.
