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.

Innovative Colony Management

  • 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.

Strategic Gameplay: Explore Unique Biomes

  • 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?

Chill Vibes and Colorful Visuals with Progression and Replayability

  • Enter a beautiful alien world with vibrant, biology-inspired visuals.

  • Pursue multiple paths to success, whether through peaceful symbiosis or aggressive expansion.
