The game's battles are performed through a Bejeweled-esque minigame, albeit one with a bit more depth than your average match-three puzzler. It would be nice if you were given the option to just buy the item you're looking for instead of doing a lucky dip. Alternatively, these fragments can be collected by using the slot machine, although this uses up gold - which costs real money - and even then it's extremely unlikely that you'll get what you wanted. While beating one of the low-level foes will usually result in them immediately joining your team, obtaining a better monster involves collecting several unique puzzle pieces which infrequently drop after defeating said monster type. Defeating these colourful creatures in battle gives you a chance of gaining them for your own collection.

Naturally, certain elements are more effective against others - you might struggle to beat a group of water enemies using an all-fire team, and it's usually best to keep one monster of each element in your team at all times.īattle Camp features a cute and cartoony art style that belies its depth: PennyPop have incorporated many MMORPG systems including quests, raids, avatar customisation, world events, troops (the game's version of guilds), in-game chat, pets and PvP.
