Lumberwhack: Defend the Wild

Defend the forest, one fight at a time

Lumberwhack: Defend the Wild is an action game for players who like more than simply placing units and watching a battle unfold. You play as Koko Kornelius, a character who can join the fight directly while managing a team of animal defenders. The goal is to stop forces destroying the natural world across a series of varied environments.

Action mixed with tactical choices

Each encounter asks you to balance direct combat with defence planning. Animals can be discovered, upgraded and evolved, giving you different ways to build your team and respond to incoming threats. Koko can move through the battlefield, swing through trees and take on enemies at close range, so there is always something to do between strategic decisions.

• Control Koko during battles instead of relying only on automated units.
• Develop a roster of animals with different abilities and roles.
• Progress through more than 380 levels and several distinct biomes.
• Test longer-term strategies in Endless Forest and Survival Mode.

Built for short sessions or a longer campaign

The colourful presentation keeps enemies, allies and hazards easy to follow when the screen gets busy. The level-based structure suits a quick round, while the upgrade system and larger collection of stages give you reasons to return. Players who enjoy experimenting with team combinations should find more depth here than in a purely reflex-based action game.
