How it feels

A tense strategy game where you command organic warships and adapt their DNA mid-battle to crush alien fleets.

What players say

Players praise the unique living ship concept and art style, but the game is a technical nightmare on modern systems. Most cannot get it running without extensive workarounds, and even those who do face missing textures, crashes, and core features like saving or weapon hotkeys being broken or absent.
