Ponos' The Battle Cats Celebrates 12 Years with a Sengoku-Era Ad Campaign

The Battle Cats, a mobile tower defense game featuring a quirky cast of ninja cats, fish cats, and even a "Gross Cat," is celebrating its 12th anniversary. This enduring success is marked by a new ad campaign set in Japan's Sengoku period.

The commercials blend the historical setting's tactical warfare with the game's signature humor and distinctive cat food can imagery. Developed in partnership with R/GA, the "Way of the Cat" campaign aims to showcase the game's strategic depth and attract new players.
