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.

I can easily recommend Tooth and Tail for anyone who enjoys the genre, even if you don't care for multiplayer. The story mode is robust and greatly enjoyable, but the multiplayer still has all the bells and whistles that veterans expect by now like replays and post-match graphs. I hope that a strong community forms around Tooth and Tail because it has rekindled my love of RTS games.

Its humour and quick mission times make it an interesting prospect in a genre filled with far-too-serious stories and long, drawn-out missions; but the constantly babysitting your units drags it back from being anything truly special.

Funny and cute RTS, but extremely hard!

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 is a deft and minimalist RTS that's slick as a knife through the ribs.

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.

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

Enjoy this with a willing friend (or three) if you like the idea of RTS games but suck at them. Jump right into online matchmaking if you're a pro. Test it out if you're RTS-shy.

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.

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

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

Tooth and Tail is an exhilarating, minimal RTS set during an animal Civil War in the 1910s. With plenty of gallows humor and a 16-bit Don Bluth aesthetic, it breathes new life into a tired genre.
