Evaluation

Claws & Chaos launched on October 22, 2024 and received a steady stream of content updates post-launch, adding new animal families (Monkeys, Amphibians, Mustelids, and Reptiles) roughly every 1–3 months. On June 16, 2025, the developer posted a direct statement alongside the Patch 1.17.18 notes explicitly closing out the game's content development. The post reads: "This is the last patch to add a new animal family: Reptiles! Going forward, we won't have the bandwidth to add new content anymore. The game is still going to remain up and running on all platforms, but the sales aren't steady enough to warrant content production." The developer confirmed the game's servers will stay online, but new content production has ended. This is a clear, unambiguous statement from the studio that development of new content is complete. The game remains playable and purchasable, but no further content updates are planned.

About this game

In a twist of fate, our heroes learn of a safe haven ark. Their journey ends at its gates, only to be shunned—King Chipmunk has reserved every spot on the upper deck! What a jerk. Amidst a crowd of seatless creatures, there’s but one option left: dethrone the tyrant chipmunk.

Play at your own pace through async multiplayer! Chill out in Arena Mode and battle against user-generated teams to earn 10 Victories. Want to test your skills? Climb the leaderboard in Rapture Mode and utilize powerful Buff Cards to build an overpowered squad while battling endless waves of teams.

The flood is coming. Only the Ark will save them. That is… unless the evil King Chipmunk reserves all the seats! Fight for your own salvation and hone your skills in a complete single-player campaign filled with hand-drawn cutscenes and art.

Collect and customize a massive variety of silly and adorable animals ranging across the animal kingdom. Bearbarians, Catsassins, Samurai Shibas, and… Hamster Weebs? Learn their strengths, weaknesses, and synergies to assemble your team.
