Hybrid Beasts

Hybrid Beasts is an open-world game where you explore, conquer and defend a land filled with quests and secrets. In local couch multiplayer, teams of creatures battle for control of newly explored areas, and the winner must fortify and defend their reign. Up to 6 players can play together.

Explore the world

Travel freely from a lush forest towards frozen glaciers, arid deserts and volcanic landscapes. Some places are hidden or locked; follow complex storylines and solve quests to uncover the land’s secrets and lore. More than 60 handcrafted landscapes and battlefields are designed around strategies and ambushes.

Regions affect how battles play out. Forest water can be swum through, while water in colder regions freezes solid and can be walked on. Near the volcano, molten lava vaporizes the water and immediately kills any beast that touches it.

Beasts and the legend

The creatures include wise rabbit-squirrels, deadly panda-porcupines and packs of cunning fox-boars. Some beasts have mysteriously disappeared, and you can investigate what happened to them. Beasts can also earn titles such as “King of the Forest,” which can help in the quest to fulfil an ancient legend: only a true king can reassemble the Arcane Rainbow Crystal.

Battles and weapons

The game offers an endless-battle multiplayer mode, as well as endgame modes such as Genesis flood and Volcanic eruption. Power-ups including Double Damage and Super Jump affect gameplay, while random events such as asteroid impacts, earthquakes, blizzards and alien invasions can change a battle.

Weapons and equipment include shotguns, rockets, grenades and rope, alongside huge lasers, sticky mines, glue cannons, ice spells, shields, voodoo dolls, scuba gear, time travel, a pet cemetery, Pandora’s box and an invisibility potion. Weaponized animals include flying fishes and armored armadillos; you can also use a jetpack.
