How it feels

You guide a squad through alien worlds, constantly mutating your warriors by absorbing DNA to gain bizarre new abilities like fire breath and flammable vomit.

What players say

Players praise the ambitious DNA mutation system and the creative squad combat, but note the dated graphics, finicky AI teammates, and occasional softlocks. The game is tough and rewarding for those who enjoy trial-and-error, though some wish for a modern remaster.
