Aniimo expands to iOS and Android today following its earlier September launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC. Developed by Pawprint Studio and published by Kingsglory, the free-to-play open-world RPG enters the increasingly busy creature-collecting arena with its own major mechanical twist: Twining lets players directly merge their perspective with individual Aniimo, taking control of creatures to explore and fight using abilities that humans simply do not possess. Some can fly, others dig or traverse environments in different ways, making the creatures more than colour-coded ammunition for turn-based combat. The inevitable Pokémon comparison is unavoidable, although Aniimo also borrows the broader exploration and survival vocabulary that has expanded rapidly since Palworld demonstrated just how much room existed around Nintendo's famous formula. The mobile version is particularly significant for a free-to-play game because it opens the door to a vast audience accustomed to persistent progression and short daily sessions. The unanswered question, as always, is how gracefully the monetisation behaves once players are invested. Cute monsters can conquer many things. A badly designed currency economy remains a considerably tougher boss.
