Party Animals is an exciting new multiplayer physics-based brawler/party game developed by Recreate Games and published by Source Technology. Players can choose from various animals including puppies, kittens, ducks, bunnies, sharks, dinosaurs, and even unicorns to fight against each other in a free-for-all skirmish or an objective-based capture-the-flag style game mode. The game has already accumulated a large following with over 135,834 concurrent players during the Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition and 113,000 viewers watching gameplay streams on Twitch.
The game utilizes realistic physics to bring its characters to life as they can punch, toss, jump, kick, and headbutt each other. Weapons are also available for players to pick up and use in battle. When taking too much damage they are temporarily knocked out but usually recover and return to the fight unless they are thrown off the map or into various hazards. Currently, there are four maps available as well as eleven playable characters.
Party Animals is scheduled for release on Microsoft Windows (via Steam), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S at some point in 2023. Prior to this, it has had open demos available to the public on two separate occasions for short periods of time so people can get a feel for the game before it’s a full release.
Overall Party Animals looks like it will be an entertaining party game that will have something for everyone no matter what age or skill level. With its wide range of characters and ever-developing maps, it looks sure to be a hit amongst gamers when it finally comes out later this year!
