Our take on GeneWars
Rather than placing a familiar army in a fantasy or historical world, the game turns cells and reproductive biology into its military setting. Its campaign follows a sperm cell and a large cell army, replacing conventional factions with a biological cast.
What is GeneWars?
Lead an army of cells in a turn-based strategy RPG centered on the creation of life.
The story follows a sperm cell on a mission toward a new world, accompanied by characters including Sensei, Mr. T, Otto, and Cooper. Battles involve commanding the main characters and training different cell types to support the army. A Gene Switch changes unit properties to suit the battlefield. Experience can be distributed freely among characters, allowing the roster to develop without leaving particular characters unused. The campaign presents its military journey through a biological setting, with progress tied to battlefield victories and the completion of life's genesis.
