- Another chinese grindy slop full of pay-to-win/pay-to-go-faster game. Cute pokemons but with tons of variations of the same type (the same type of monster could have color variants, dozen of sparkling variants, umbral variants, be alpha or no) and they can have just one of these traits or more than one on PURE RNG. If you wish to catch or make the perfect aniimo, the chances are like 0,001%. Theres a story mode? Yes. A lot of events? Yes. But that's it. The grinding will cost your entire life to get what you want. Also, the character creation is ridiculous, you can barely make a good looking character that doesnt look like a chinese child (they launch the game globaly but you can create a global adult person). Slop. Chinese slop at its finest. Already unninstaled it.
- Une surprise venue de Chine, un jeu de capture de créatures en tout genre, DA très Kawaï, système de personnalisation de personnage très poussé, une partie craft utile in game to level up, les combats très bien pensé, mécanique d’enchaînements d’aniimo très fluide et destructeur, possibilité de fusionner avec un aniimo très jouissif, un monde ouvert gigantesque, quelques combats avec d’autres dresseurs pendants les quêtes, **** Dungeon à la Zelda BOTW avec mécaniques de puzzle simple et cours, pleins de trésors et autres ressources à chercher et à trouver. Jeu gatcha qui peut être joué sans être obligé de passer à la caisse, une excellente surprise et un nouveau vent de fraîcheur dans le monde des jeux de captures, au point de vous faire oublier que pokemon existe, RIP Poké, surtout au vu des dernière prods switch cataclysmique !!! Un jeu peace mais nerveux dans les combats, un monde ouvert de fou malade, une addiction sans pareil, une belle respiration entre deux Boss d
- No soy de andar dejando reseñas, pero siento que con los años de experiencia que tengo analizando y jugando todo tipo de juegos, Aniimo se merece totalmente ser la primera que escribo. Visualmente es un espectáculo y a nivel gráfico no tiene nada que envidiarle a un título como Palworld. A pesar de que el mapa no es gigante, está tremendamente bien trabajado; con sus paisajes el mundo se siente vivo constantemente y siempre hay algo sucediendo a tu alrededor. Además, la parte online está muy bien pensada y da gusto jugar acompañado. La mecánica de vincularte con los bichos para moverte o resolver situaciones y el sistema de combate me engancharon al instante. Cada Aniimo tiene su rol bien definido, con habilidades específicas, criaturas que curan y te salvan la vida, otros para romper escudos o tanquear. Hay mucha estrategia detrás. También metieron más de 70 criaturas de entrada y que sean bastantes no quita que tengan una calidad bárbara. Da mucho gusto ir completando el Aniregistro poco a
Criticism
- I tried to write a review and it keeps deleting so I give up. This game ****. Can't say why
- Horrible maintenance time. Absolute unfriendly to europe players should never be released in europe and 10 hours time for an update. There was a similar game with this aproach and it flopped massiv
- Pawprint Studio completely lied to the community. They claimed there is no "gacha", but instead, they locked the entire core gameplay behind an energy bar and a ridiculous $30 subscription just to catch rare creatures. This is not a PC/console game; it’s a toxic mobile cash-grab designed to manipulate you and drain your wallet. The stamina system on PC is an insult to every gamer. To make matters worse, the game has a total identity crisis. During the entire marketing campaign, they baited us with a cozy, cute, and fluffy art style. But right before the release, they suddenly crammed in edgy, aggressive, Dragon Ball Z-style dragons that completely clash with the rest of the world. It’s a pathetic attempt to cater to 11-year-old edgelords who just want to look "cool," destroying whatever unique atmosphere the game initially had. In the end, this is a failure not just in visual design, but as an actual piece of entertainment. The combat system is absolute garbage—shallow, clunky, and painfully boring. T

- Aniimo is an interesting creature collector with a strong visual style, unique Twining mechanics, and an open world that gives you plenty of reasons to collect different creatures. Sanctums, sidequests, and a story that sparks curiosity add variety, although occasional animation issues and a layer of mobile-inspired systems hold the experience back. Its free-to-play model remains fairly reasonable, but players tired of energy limits, timers, currencies, events, and microtransactions may find themselves wondering why these restrictions are necessary.
- Aniimo is a fun free-to-play creature collector with engaging real-time combat and quite a bit of content to explore. The creature design is fantastic, and the world is a beautiful space to explore. The story isn’t earth-shattering, but it keeps things moving along. While you’ll engage with some of the lighter F2P elements each day, none of it ever hinders your progress or stonewalls your experience. Anyone willing to use the bandwidth to download this game should give it a try.
- At least for the moment, Aniimo cannot even remotely be considered a "Pokémon killer," as it lacks the fundamental elements needed to truly challenge the GameFreak series—most notably the complete absence of a competitive mode worthy of the name. That said, the adventure crafted by Pawprint Studios is a joy to play and will keep you glued to the screen for hours as you hunt for every creature and its variants. Even though the story struggles to leave a lasting impression, the game succeeds in offering a fun-to-explore open world, featuring creatures with consistently impressive designs and gameplay that encourages interaction with each one. Given that the title is free-to-play, features unobtrusive microtransactions, and is available on a wide range of platforms, anyone who enjoys monster-catching games should definitely give it a try.
Criticism
- Aniimo is a gorgeous, charming creature-collecting adventure with an impressive amount to see, do, and discover. Its stunning character creator, beautiful open world, and seamless Twining system give every new creature a purpose beyond simply adding it to your collection, while its cozy gameplay makes it easy to settle in for the long haul. It can occasionally feel like it’s trying to do too much, and some quests and systems don’t quite hit the same highs, but there’s still an awful lot to love in this ambitious adventure.
