Claws & Chaos is an auto-chess-style battler featuring quirky creatures in dire circumstances. Build your team and hone your skills while battling across both story and PvP modes. Will you earn your place on the Ark?
The Claws & Chaos demo has been updated again, and we have a real nest-full of changes. We’ve been reading your feedback, watching your streams, and taking tons of notes on what needs changing, improving, and balancing.
Let’s talk about some of the bigger [b]System Updates[/b] first:

[list] [*] [u]Combat Grid [/u]- During the deployment phase, the battlefield now includes a grid that will improve consistency, clarity, and make placements on the field more discrete and tactical.

[*] [u]Unit List Overhaul[/u] - The list of units has been updated to use the book UI.
[*] [u]Targeting improved[/u] so melee units don’t walk around the edges of the arena as often. [/list]
