Wizzy Animals : Defense

Zombies have taken over the animal kingdom, and the last defenders are students at a Magic Academy. That setup, from SUPERBOX Inc, gives Wizzy Animals: Defense a gentle tone even though the situation is dramatic. It combines roguelike luck with tower-defence play: you learn spells, summon animal wizards and protect the school from waves of enemies.

Every run deals a different hand

Each run gives you random heroes with unique skills, so no two battles are the same, and the publisher notes that a single choice can change the outcome. That rewards adaptability: you work with what you are given instead of following a fixed plan. The game also offers auto-battle with optional strategy, which makes it easy to start and harder to master as you try to optimise.

A faculty of animal wizards

The roster includes a hamster, frog, cat, rabbit, koala and fox. You enrol wizards, build team combinations, level them up and evolve them into legendary mages. Teams in games like this work best when roles complement each other, for example one wizard that damages groups, another that slows enemies and another that supports allies.

A school under siege

Classrooms, alchemy labs and libraries become battlefields, and you must defend the academy against zombie waves by combining spells and heroes. The setting gives the game a distinctive look, while the mechanics are those of a defence game where positioning and upgrades decide the outcome.

Beyond the waves

There are events, mini-games, clubs to join with friends, magical relics to collect and dungeons to explore for rewards. Relics give permanent or run-based bonuses and strengthen your forces over time, and clubs provide social support and a place to swap tips.

Advice for newcomers

Do not chase one hero; build around whatever options appear and look for synergy. Prioritise survivability upgrades early, since losing control of a wave can end a run. Use auto-battle for routine fights and switch to manual choices on boss waves. Collect relics regularly and spend resources steadily on the heroes you use most. After each defeat, work out which wave caused the problem.

Who will have fun

Fans of roguelike and defence gameplay, people who like cute animals and anyone who enjoys short tactical sessions. Players who want precise control over every action or prefer realistic graphics may be happier elsewhere.

Content and cost

The theme includes cartoon zombies, but the presentation is gentle. Check the store page for the age rating. Games with random hero summons and events may include optional purchases, so decide on a budget and use purchase controls.

Store figures

The store showed 10K+ installs and a 4.1 rating at the time of writing.

In a nutshell

A cheerful mix of luck, strategy and cute characters, a good choice for players who like quick roguelike defence runs.
