Zootopia RTS?

[Bucky]

Yes.

[Ives]

More like Redwall.

haha it's actually kind of a reverse zootopia -- rather than all the carnivores having calmed their meat-eating ways, all the herbivores have decided to eat meat!

That sounds very interesting and i hope the story will have a lot more of what the trailer was offering.

All I could think watching the trailer was a more brutal Redwall. Zootopia ain't got nothin' on this.

Its a recent story involving anthropromorphic characters so people will compare it. Maybe also since it was a big hit all over the world.

Initially the ideas for the game's lore were a bit more sophisticated, but it seems that Pocketwatch threw all pretence overboard, and went straight-up "decadent Roman Empire" with the setting :-D .

the story is actually inspired by the russian revolution: a starving populace, rasputin, a beloved but out of touch royal family, world war

Don't lie. We know you loved Redwall so much that you had to make a game out of it! :)

I wouldnt say its a reverse a Zootopia. But rather... After the game's "Harvest" that the trailer tells us, you could argue that all herbivores and other prey animals just suck it up and become omnivores- or straight-up predators if you insist- and chose to play along with whats going on as a means of survival. Since the premise is eat or be eaten, both literally and metaphorically, this would mean weaker animals have to, again, chose to eat anyone who opposes them as a means of self defense and survival, when opposing forces are likely doing the same thing, albeit, they just chose to eat smaller animals because there society seemingly decided it was fair game. Coupled with the fact everyone seems self aware of what species tastes like what, it becomes a little morbid knowing that it's a survival of the fittest, and the fittest has to literally be the top of the food chain.
....
Probably over-thinking a lot of this, but I find the game's premise to be fascinating.

I mean, I absolutely loved Redwall as a kid, and our painter, Jerome Jacinto, is prob the top Redwall fan artist out there :) so... it's definitely an influence! (so is Secret of Nymh, Disney's Robin Hood)
