Gameplay
The gameplay of prehistoric battleground is where you travel back to prehistoric time periods in order to rescue and tame prehistoric animals as well as using them to stop crimes, battle the evil forces of Dangerlord and battle against friends. You can also trade prehistoric animals with friends. There's even the option for online and offline multiplayer. In order to tame prehistoric animals, you have to go back to prehistoric habitats in order to find and tamed them. You also can only tame prehistoric animals when they're young. Not all of them are tamable, though.

There are three different tiers when it comes to battling your prehistoric animals with friends. These tiers are large land animal, small land animal and ocean animal. In order to keep the game balanced, the certain animal cannot be used outside their tier. Each animal also has five different stats, these stats are health, offense, defense, agility and accuracy. Some prehistoric animals such as Ankylosaurus have more defense and health while some such as Troodon have higher accuracy and agility. A few animals in the small and large land animal tiers such as Koolasuchus can drag or throw their opponent into the water where they have much more mobility and are much faster. For all of the catchable animals, see Prehistoric Battleground: Catchable Prehistoric Animals.

When your tamed animals aren't battling, you can play with and feed the similar to Pokémon Amie and Nintendogs. You can also name your creatures any name you like. However, the nicknames are replaced by their default name when battling online.
