Lion Soldier's Vengeance: Animal Wars Play Free Online and Controls
Lion Soldier's Vengeance: Animal Wars is a free third person shooter. You play a lion soldier who fights animal headed enemies through a series of arenas. It runs in a desktop browser so you can play right here without installing anything.
Most people searching for this title want one of three things: to play right now, to look up the controls, or to work out which of two similarly named games they have found. This page covers all three. Free to play in your browser, no download needed. Use a desktop or laptop with a keyboard and mouse.
How to Play Lion Soldier's Vengeance in Your Browser
Click the game window once so it picks up your keyboard, then switch to fullscreen. You need a desktop or laptop with a keyboard and mouse. The game is built for a landscape screen so a small window makes aiming harder than it needs to be.
The first load can take a moment. 3D browser games download their assets up front and this one is a Unity WebGL build.
On a phone or tablet
Lion Soldier's Vengeance is desktop only as far as I can tell. GamePix lists it as a desktop browser game. Some clone sites claim it works on all devices but the controls need a keyboard and mouse so touch would be awkward even when the page loads.
Searches for a mobile or APK version returned different games with similar names such as Animal War and Animal Warfare. They are not this game.
Lion Soldier's Vengeance Controls
Move with WASD and aim and shoot with the mouse. Space jumps, Shift sprints, R reloads, Q rolls, E picks up items and P pauses. These bindings come from the distributor Gameflare's listing. GamePix confirms the WASD and mouse basics.
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Move | W, A, S, D |
| Aim and shoot | Mouse |
| Jump | Space |
| Sprint | Shift |
| Reload | R |
| Roll | Q |
| Pick up item | E |
| Pause | P |
The roll is probably your dodge. GamePix's own tip is to use cover and dodge to survive longer. How much protection the roll gives isn't documented anywhere I found so test it in the first arena before you rely on it. Some portals list only movement and aiming. If a key does nothing in your build, check the on screen prompts.
What the Gameplay Is Like
It's a single player third person arena shooter. You control the lion soldier and clear arenas of animal headed enemies wave by wave. The developer tags it as fast paced and short. Gameplay videos show the same loop you enter an arena, defeat everything in it and move on to the next. The developer's itch page frames the setting as a fictional sci-fi universe.
Portal descriptions disagree on the details. One describes earning points to buy weapons and ammunition. Others mention a time limit. One describes the lion's tribe being attacked, with donkey soldiers as the enemy. The developer's page mentions none of these.
Treat them as unconfirmed until you see them in the game. My read of the Short tag is that this suits a quick session rather than a long campaign. That's a judgment from the tags, not a measured play time.
Lion Soldier's Vengeance vs. The Revenge of Lion Soldier
They are two separate games by the same developer. Lion Soldier's Vengeance Animal Wars is the third person version. The Revenge of Lion Soldier is a first person shooter and its page links back to the original as the third person version.
| Lion Soldier's Vengeance: Animal Wars | The Revenge of Lion Soldier | |
|---|---|---|
| Perspective | Third person | First person |
| Setting | Fictional sci-fi universe with animal characters | Sci-fi environment |
| Developer | Studiohammergames | Studiohammergames |
If you searched Revenge of the Lion Soldier you want the second game. Its controls may differ so don't assume the key list above carries over.
Fixing Common Problems
These are general fixes for browser 3D games. I haven't tested them on this specific build.
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| Black screen or stuck loading | Wait through the first load, then refresh. Try a current desktop Chrome, Edge or Firefox. |
| Keys do nothing | Click inside the game window to give it keyboard focus. |
| Mouse cursor is stuck or hidden | In most browsers, pressing Esc releases the cursor. |
| Laggy or choppy | Close other tabs, turn on hardware acceleration in your browser settings and shrink the window. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lion Soldier's Vengeance free?
Yes. The developer's itch page presents it as a free shooter and playing it in your browser costs nothing.
Can I play it on mobile?
Not officially. GamePix lists it as a desktop browser game and the controls assume a keyboard and mouse. Anything advertised as a mobile or APK version should be checked carefully, because the results I found were different games.
Do I need to download anything?
No, the game runs in your browser. The developer also offers a Windows build on their own itch.io page but you don't need it to play here. If you go looking for it, use the developer's page. I saw another itch listing tagged as a fan game that offers a 651 kB .exe, far too small to be this game, and I can't vouch for what it contains.
Who made it and does it use AI?
It's by Studiohammergames, credited as Hammer Games Studio on some portals. The itch page carries an AI assisted disclosure for the graphics. It doesn't say which assets that covers so I can't be more specific.
How long does a playthrough take?
No official run length is given. The developer tags the game Short and describes it as arena based so expect a compact game. Any specific minute count you see on a portal isn't backed by the developer's page.
