Overall, I really enjoyed Tooth and Tail and the anthropomorphic animals with their retro-like aesthetic were whimsical and charming to look at. There is a lot of strategy and fun to be had with the controls never feeling too complicated, even while using a controller.

Its enjoyable not only in how the campaign is presented, but also with how exciting the competitive aspects of multiplayer are.

While its procedural generation can result in some unfavorable outcomes during its campaign, Tooth and Tail shows how to teach basic real-time strategy mechanics in a lovely way.

If I’ve not stressed enough how this is isn’t just another strategy game, it bares worth mentioning Tooth and Tail features split-screen multiplayer, which is a very smart idea for a game such as this. When your play session’s length is entirely determined by how matched you are in your skill level against your opponent I can see that being a really smart way to play against like-minded friends. Sadly I didn’t get the opportunity to try this out, but if it’s anything like the campaign it’ll be one hell of a challenge.

Tooth and Tail breaks down the common RTS gameplay to its essence and simplifies the unit control. Intense multiplayer matches on random generated maps and a hard singleplayer campaign ensure long lasting enjoyment of a complex yet easy to understand indie hit.

Tooth and Tail never overstays its welcome being a good choice for both longer sessions and for moments when you want to play something but only have 15 minutes at your disposal.

Tooth and Tail might be a little too simplistic at times, but there's still a lot of good gameplay to be had.

Those looking for a hot new strategy game should look no further than Tooth and Tail. Providing endless amounts of fun with fair and fast-paced action, Tooth and Tail fights tooth and nail for its place in the RTS pantheon. It proves that innovating on an old school genre is sometimes the best thing needed. This doesn't mean other games have to follow this design from here on out, but it shows that things can be done differently while being immensely enjoyable.

Tooth and Tail rebuilds the RTS genre with an easily accessible console-friendly design that retains the elements that make RTSs so much fun. Fast-paced gameplay, random maps, and a dark, humorous tale told not just in the campaign, but in the design of each unit. This is a step in the right direction over other bite-sized RTS games.

A wonderful indie tower defense with animals as soldiers. Engaging battles have but one rule – losers will be eaten.

Tooth and Tail Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?" video thumbnail
8.5 / 10.0

It's rare for a game to sneak in under the radar and genuinely catch me off guard. Tooth and Tail is one of these infrequent pleasures that feel like discovering a diamond amongst the coal. This is a stellarly constructed and well-considered RTS that goes a long way towards showing how the genre can stand out, even without the aid of a keyboard and mouse. When also factoring in the approachability that the art style brings to the table and its shockingly deep well of unit types, it becomes obvious that this is the full package. So, lace up your boots and reach for the ammunition. It's high time to blow some drunken squirrels back to hell, where they belong. Fire away, soldier.
