Indie game studio ANIMO Industries is excited to announce the Kickstarter campaign launch for its inaugural game ANIMO Stars Arena. Players choose their favorite animal pilot, customize a mech war machine, and hunt their prey in this adorably destructive multiplayer shooter.

ANIMO Stars Arena is a casual shooter that allows players to fully customize their hanger of ludicrously overpowered combat mechs, then team up in a wide variety of gameplay modes and wreak havoc on their enemies in challenging and ever-evolving battlescape environments. The mechs are tailored by swapping between dozens of cabins and bumpers; choosing a traversal engine such as treads, wheels, hovercrafts and more; and then arming it with a host of special weapons like flamethrowers and grappling hooks. Further personalization comes from paint colors and themes, and choosing the driver from a cast of cuddly but cunning, scaled, or fiercely feathered fighter pilots. Multiple play modes provide action for all types of players.
The start of the crowdfunding campaign coincides with the kick-off of Summer Games Fest.  Those not attending SGF can download an early playable demo on Steam.

“The team has been working hard on making ANIMO Stars Arena a truly unique experience, filling a gap in the mech shooter space, and we’re energized by the response the game has received thus far. Slated for release next year, we are already planning to follow the ANIMO Stars Arena launch with an even more ambitious game that will allow players to design their own pilots, mechs, and battlescapes and trade them with the community,” said Dave Miller, ANIMO CEO. “We believe in this universe we’ve created and its appeal as a long-term franchise.”

The Kickstarter for ANIMO Stars Arena launches today, with several compelling levels of support including exclusive and limited edition digital and physical rewards, and the goal to raise $150,000 to complete the game and launch in the first half of 2026. Players can show their support, download the demo and wishlist on Steam, join the ANIMO Discord, and follow the team’s journey on X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
