Party Animals Is the Acid Test Game Your Friendships Needed

Welcome to a game where it's hard to stay serious, and punches or kicks don't cause pain but tears of joy. Or end friendships.

Convince yourself of the game's cuteness by taking a look at this screenshot of Party Animals: In perspective view, we are looking at a gray stone plateau on which there are three extremely cute animal creatures. A small cute orange-white colored dog is lying over the edge of the plateau with its eyes closed, and we look into its swooning face. The dog is centered at the bottom of the image in a long shot. Directly behind him in the center of the picture is a green baby dragon with small protruding teeth and a smug grin. To the left behind him, a cute little brown beaver is just jumping at him with a kick. In the background, trees and the facade of a house with a thatched roof can be seen in the blur. The title has a release date and offers besides fun gameplay also probably crossplay and cross-platform support.

Cute, cuter, Party Animals? So it seems. The fluffy fighting game will be released at the beginning of the year and will make your heart for animals and friends beat even faster. Besides a new trailer, there is already a lot to report about it.

Watching the latest trailer, it quickly becomes clear: Party Animals hits the right note and knows how to satisfy our need for fun, cuteness, and challenge.

 

Party Animals offers delightful gameplay

The game is a multiplayer brawler that makes fun use of the laws of physics. It is strongly reminiscent of popular hits like Human: Fall Flat in its mechanics and also clumsiness. One difference is that in Party Animals, instead of humanoid characters, you slip into the role of little innocent animals like bunnies, puppies, or little chicks, which can’t be surpassed in cuteness. In addition to your fists (or paws), you also have a selection of weapons and items at your disposal to defeat your opposing cuddly buddies (no, no, it’s just a game).

It’s this contrast of childlike cuteness and adult combat that makes the game so appealing to fans, which is why it’s one of the most wished games on Steam for a reason. And the developers think that it’s the perfect game for a weekend with friends. Just check out the cuteness for yourself in this new gameplay trailer:

 

When is the Party Animals release date?

The Chinese developer Recreate Games first announced the game in 2020 and had already gathered a large fanbase thanks to many trailers and demos. Due to the great reception, the team has thrown themselves even more into the development of Party Animals. This has resulted in the release date planned for 2022 being cancelled and postponed to early 2023. Unfortunately, at this point there is no further indication as to when exactly the game will be released. But as soon as we know more, we will update you.

Is the game crossplay / multi-platform compatible?

The Party Animals game includes both local and online multiplayer with different game modes. For example, you can compete against your friends in PvP mode or play together with them in various ways in Co-op. Thus the game offers gameplay for every taste.

The beat ’em up title will be initially released for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. But a later release for PS4/PS5 and also Nintendo Switch is not off the table. Since the gameplay fits very well with the target group of Sony and Nintendo, this assumption seems quite natural. The combined PC and Xbox announcement also feels like a hint at crossplay/platform functionality between the systems. Since the two ecosystems are similar, the development effort to that end is probably the lowest initially. However, there is no official statement from the developers about it yet. We will keep you up to date on this.
