The Spirit Animals game was located and accessed through the website. The game itself has a level 40 (later updated to 300) cap. Levels 2 to 40 each have a special "Heroic" Quest to defeat a Conqueror; Heroic Quests on levels 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 involve retrieving a talisman.
The Spirit Animals Game is an RPG (Role-Playing Game), which means you are playing the role of the Keeper. As Keeper, you play the role of retrieving talismans, aiding in-game characters, defeating Bile animals, Wyrm creatures, and Conquerors.
Throughout the game, you obtain new armor and weapons, as well as new, and more powerful skills. If you have bought or borrowed a Spirit Animals book, it will come with a code that you can enter to redeem in-game rewards (usually gold or Greenheart Tokens). When you enter a code, it will prompt you to find specific words in the book, to avoid "fake" codes.
Being online-based, the Spirit Animals game comes with multiplayer features. Each player-made server, or Council, can contain up to 10 people at one time. You may start your own council or create a private council. In the council is the default map with the general room, merchant, armory, skills etc. available for use. There is a chat feature with a filtered dictionary and can be toggled on/off in the settings menu.
Review/Gameplay[]
Spirit Animals is an RPG game based on the Spirit Animals books. Most players earn armor, experience, equipment and gold by playing quests. There are four types of quests: casual quests (which are free and yield a small amount of rewards), normal quests (which yield more rewards) and challenging quests (which yields epic rewards; a treasure room is guaranteed). Normal and challenging quests cost tokens or gold to start. There are also Heroic Quests, which give a large amount of XP and occasionally talismans.
