# Animal Tactics > A free 3×3 auto battler for Android. Draft animals, merge copies, stack synergies, and watch combat resolve. Animal Tactics is a strategy auto battler, not a twitch action game. You shop, place units on a 3×3 grid, then hit Battle. Melee fights the front row; ranged and flyers prefer the back. Matching species merge to level up. Optional mutation serum adds a second ability at max level. ## Facts - Name: Animal Tactics - Store title: Animal Tactics: Auto Battler - Package: com.animaltactics.app - Platforms: Android (Google Play); privacy and marketing site on the web - Genre: strategy, auto battler, merge, 3×3 tactics - Price: free to play; optional cosmetic skins via Google Play Billing - Runs: 10 trophies to win, 5 lives, shop gold each round - Account: guest play, or Google sign-in for cloud stats, achievements, and skins - Ads: none.

Place them on your board, freeze cards you want to keep, merge duplicates, then battle. Position and synergies (diet, habitat, pack, size, venom, ranged, melee) decide the round. After 10 trophies you can keep playing against tougher ghost lineups. ## What it is not Not a real-time PvP fighter, not a gambling app, not an idle clicker. Run gold never buys cosmetics.
