Primordial Empire is a side-on colony sim on the microscopic level. Cultivate a colony of microbes, plants and animals from small beginnings to mutualistic paradise. Connect the web of life in a tangle of nutrients and trophic balance. Scratch out a living and claim your empire from the rock itself!
Grow. Adapt. Symbiotize.
Welcome to the vibrant, microscopic world of Primordial Empire – a 2D side-view microbial "City" Builder and Simulation game where you master the art of symbiosis and adaptability.
Cultivate a thriving colony by growing diverse plants and organisms on any solid surface.
Start with basic Stem Cells that eat, grow, divide, or wither based on the food available. Differentiate them into new organisms and meet their needs to expand your colony.
Gather and manage essential resources, like protein, mineral, or DNA, or trade them if not locally available. Balance resource management and growth.
Navigate a world map filled with distinct biomes like the Salt Barrens, Caves, Fungal Biome, Mineralized Biome, and Hydrothermal Biome, each presenting unique challenges and strategic resources.
Adapt to the specific conditions of each biome, from the chill experience of the Lush Biome to the toxic threats in the Fungal Biome.
Interact with foreign organisms through appeasing or antagonizing approaches, affecting their stance and your colony's strategy. Are they a threat to eliminate or an ally to trade with?
Enter a beautiful alien world with vibrant, biology-inspired visuals.
Pursue multiple paths to success, whether through peaceful symbiosis or aggressive expansion.
