Forget about all the gaming collabs you’ve seen this year. They all pale into insignificance compared to what you’ll see in the hugely popular mobile title The Battle Cats this August.
The feisty felines have teamed up with Sonic the Hedgehog for a quite simply joyous mash up of porcupine and cat.
You’ll want to learn more about this one, believe us.
Cats + Hedgehogs
The Battle Cats, in case you weren’t aware, is a mobile title that’s been around for years now - with millions of users to boot. Boasting simple to grasp but surprisingly deep gameplay, it sees you putting together a team of cats to destroy your opponent’s tower.
But now Sonic is involved. And how. The collab runs from 4th of August until the 18th of August, and offers you the chance to - for one - play through a range of maps based on stages from the blue porcupine’s titles.
This includes quite simply iconic locations such as Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, Sky Sanctuary, and Radical Highway. You can get increasing rewards by clearing up to 20 stages in the Radical Highway map too.
Yes, and?
These stages are interesting enough, but what elevates this collab is how it goes all in. Via the addition of Sonic themed cats. There are the Uber Rare versions of Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Shadow to play as with the typical look of those characters, sure.
But then there’s the option to evolve these characters. One such example is Shadow evolving into Shadow & Cat - increasing your team selection choices. You have to see these redesigns to believe them.
You can put your team up against players around the world via the Sonic Battle Dojo Map at the Catclaw Dojo.
Make sure you sign in and play every day during the collab too, as there are new rewards up for grabs if you do. Download The Battle Cats on iOS and Android now and get involved - just click here.
