Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — One of the Animorphs in coyote morph prepares to fight a Hork-Bajir. The game operates in a series of turn-based battles during combat. In a manner similar to the Pokémon video games, the object of Animorphs is to fight and defeat various animals and aliens in order to gain the morph (DNA) of that creature. Sometimes, the player can use the animal's acquired skills outside combat. For example, snakes crawl up walls, fish swim, and bird morphs take to the air. The game saves using a password system. Animorphs was one of a number of Ubi Soft games for Game Boy Color that utilized the "Ubi Key" feature, allowing players to share data between games via the system's infrared port and unlock extra content.

Reception
Critical reception of the game was generally negative. Marc Nix of IGN described the game as "pat and boring, but also silly in difficulty at times since there's little guiding your path and no real clue to the strategy." He gave it a score of 3.0 out of 10. Nintendo Power was a bit more favorable in its review of the game, giving it 3 out of 5.
