Zootopia: The Fox Wars

Zootopia: The Fox Wars is an RPG for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. This game is basically what Zootopia Area would look like if it were an RPG rather than a fighting game. The premise is the same: an army of vengeful foxes wants the extinction of all other species. The difference is that depending on how you create your character and what choices you make throughout the game, you'll either be fighting against the Vulpai Zaibatsu or fighting with them.

Zootopia: The Fox Wars uses an auto save feature.

The Protagonist
So, who do you play as in this game? Judy Hopps? Nick Wilde? No. Instead, you get to create your own character and play as that character. First, you pick your character's gender, then you pick their species, fur color, and eye color. Each species has at least a few different fur colors to choose from. As for eye color, any species can have any eye color. Once you've decided on your character's gender, species, fur color, and eye color, all that'll be left is to give the character a name and then the game can begin. As for outfit, your character has a preset outfit that you can change any time during the game.

In terms of what weapon your character can wield, other characters have their weapons of choice, but your character can wield whatever weapon you choose as long as it's something your character can equip. Some weapons, and armor for that matter, can equipped by multiple species, but other equipment pieces are built for certain species. You can't expect a big animal like a wolf to wear bunny-sized armor and use bunny-sized weapons.

Gaining special moves also works differently for your character. Rather than having the character itself reach certain levels, your character instead gains special moves by gaining experience with the type of weapon it's using. Weapons are divided into types and there are many weapons of each type. The special moves your character gains by gaining experience with a weapon type will be usable as long as the character continues wielding weapons of that same type. Let's say your character wields a sword. The special moves your character gains by gaining sword experience will still be usable even if your character ditches the sword it's using for a different sword. But if your character ditches the sword for a weapon of a different type, then those special moves will be unusable until the character is equipped with a sword again. Gaining weapon experience works the same as gaining experience for the character itself; you fight enemies and win battles.

The Story
Zootopia: The Fox Wars is one of those games where there are multiple story routes and multiple endings. How you create your character affects what story routes you have access to. If your character is a fox, then you'll have the option to join the Vulpai Zaibatsu and take part in their schemes. If your character is anything but a fox, then the Vulpai Zaibatsu route is inaccessible. The Vulpai Zaibatsu is made entirely of foxes and they won't allow anyone other than foxes to join them. What exactly were you expecting?

Battle System
Zootopia: The Fox Wars uses a turn-based battle system. Your party can have up to six fighters in the front lines. Any other party members stay in the back. Which party members fight and which ones don't is entirely up to you, but every party member can gain experience and level up, even if they don't fight. The one character you can't have leave the front lines, though, if your character. Anyway, let's go over the commands.

Attack: This has the character launch a basic Physical attack on one enemy.

Skill: This has the character use a special move. First, select the special move, then select the target you want to use the move on. Some special moves hit multiple or even all enemies.

Guard: This has the character enter a defensive stance. Guarding has your character take less damage from attacks. The character stops guarding when their next turn comes.

Item: This has the character use an item. Select the item you want to use and then select who you want to use the item on. You can carry up 99 of each individual item.

Swap: You can swap party members both inside and outside of battle. This is how you do it inside of battle. First, select the Swap command, then select who you want to swap the character with. Then, the character will leave the battlefield as the other character takes their place.
