“Battle” takes the full-fledged, millions-strong community of Gaia Online and brings their fictional home to life in the form of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
Players create Gaian versions of their own personalities, adventuring through stories, struggles, and challenges, discovering a world of rich characters and wild humor, all displayed with the visual style of well-loved anime artwork.
Players can combine forces with other players, forming teams to claim fame and glory as they travel through the world, or they can play the game alone, braving each danger and challenge with only their own skill set to bring them through it.
But the world is not composed of only combat-oriented challenges. There are many ways to play in this world, whether doing favors for characters in the world, playing games, meeting at dance halls or in towns, or just simply exploring the landscape. “Battle” is a broad, new game in a widely-varying world that is FREE to play with NO DOWNLOAD required. Come try it yourself. You just might find yourself with a new home.
Monsters-
The world of Gaia has had some big events happening over the last few years. Visitations from alien races, vampire incursions, zombie attacks, cow-snatchings…it’s been a wild ride. Some of those events have changed the world in ways completely unexpected and strange new things have been sighted across the world recently.
Many of those things are the newly Animated. Objects that once were lifeless and inert…like rocks, lanterns, and machines…are somehow becoming infused with lives of their own and changing enough to become ambulatory…and usually aggressive. Why? No one knows…yet. But many are trying to find out.
Not all of the “things out there” are Animated however. Some of them seem to be natural, but strange. Where those things are coming from, and why they’re appearing at around the same time as the Animated, are still questions waiting for answers.
BLUE FLUFF
It doesn’t seem to matter how often you harvest these cute little critters for their cotton fluff, they just seem to appear again from nowhere, like dust bunnies under a bed.
GARLIC
This “stinking rose” has a tendency to belch excessively on anything that startles or annoys it.
ALARM SKEETER
Combining an alarm clock with a mosquito left the world with a critter that possesses the two most annoying sounds in the universe. The Alarmskeeter uses its highly irritating alarms and buzzes to aggravate a target’s inner ear and drive it mad
LACEBACK BOOTSNAKE
Yes…this creature seems to have once been a rubber boot. And yes…it seems to now be a snake. But it’s NOT “a snake in my boot”…so don’t say that
CLUTCH
It used to be a lady’s handbag, but the handles became wings and now it flaps about like a bat. Never touch a lady’s clutch. It’s just not polite. And it bites.
OMG
The OMG has all the sympathetic, likeable qualities of a hungry shark. It uses its tail like a whip and it’s a tough cookie, besides. A nasty bit of work, they are
TINY TERRORS
Nope…we’re not telling you anything about what this monster does or why it looks the way it does…but when you find these little guys running around…watch out! You’re getting into dangerous territory!
KOKESHI DOLL
Seemingly small and innocent, these toy dolls have become…twisted. Watch what they carry. They are NOT your fans
GHOST LANTERN
Each evening after sunset, these disembodied flames hover in the night air. Why? That would be telling. (And this is just the floating flame right now…not the actual monster). There are other opponents in this area, of course, but we’re not revealing everything yet so that there are still some surprises when you play the game.
PREDATOR PRAIRIE PUP
A scouting party from an highly technological race of beings came to our planet and were stranded here. Unfortunately for them, despite their vastly superior weaponry and armor, they are the size and appearance of small prairie dogs
WALKER
This heavily armored creature is able to hurl its main body forward, squeezing out concentrated bursts of organic acid. If that's not bad enough, those big legs end in nasty, sharp points that can spear enemies that get too close.
BIO BUG
Individually, these bio-electircally charged crawling critters wouldn't be so bad. Sure, they can shock you silly...but it's when they swarm as groups that they become truly dangerous. And they *always* swarm as groups
ENVIRONMENTAL CREATURES
Not everything that moves in the world is a bad thing. The world is alive with other animals, birds, and fish, in addition to monsters.
