New to The Battle Cats? Read on for a quick introduction. This tower defense title has been thriving for ten years—a remarkable achievement in the mobile gaming world.

In The Battle Cats, you assemble an army of cats. But the term "cats" is used loosely here. Some march on two legs, some wield weapons, and others are terrifying, towering creatures with unnaturally long limbs and deep black eyes.

Lead your unconventional feline troops to crush the enemy, execute the perfect battle strategy, or face a devastating defeat.

Despite its age, The Battle Cats continues to receive regular updates. If you haven't tried it yet, download it now on Google Play and the App Store—and get ready for the collaboration launching on August 4th, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Click here to get started.
