You will play as Reik, a well-respected member of the fox tribe who journeys across a fantastical land inhabited by a host of different animals. Expect hack-and-slash combat in a turn-based format as you either follow the main story or search for treasures in dungeons.<\/p>\n<p>Publisher Pineapple Works cite a number of inspirations for the game, from the top-down gameplay of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/diablo_ii_resurrected\">Diablo<\/a> to the deep lore of <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/257260\/Inherit_the_Earth_Quest_for_the_Orb\/\">Inherit the Earth<\/a> \u2014 the latter of which provides a clear jumping-off point for this fox-based adventure.
