About This Game

Grow. Adapt. Symbiotize.

Welcome to Primordial Empire, a microscopic RTS where you build a miniscule empire through symbiosis and evolution in a vibrant world of micro-organisms.

Strategic Management

  • Cultivate a thriving colony by growing a diverse array of plants and organisms on any solid surface, starting with basic Stem Cells and eventually growing into a diverse ecosystem.

  • Gather and manage essential resources like protein, minerals, and DNA, or trade them between colonies if not locally available. Balance resource management and growth.

  • Expand your colony and build up your defence to protect the budding ecosystem from waves of hostile invaders. Sometimes, fighting is your only option.

Explore & Encounter 

  • Explore 6 different types of colourful and distinct biomes: Lush, Salt Barrens, Caves, Mineralized, Fungal and Hydrothermal. Each biome presents unique challenges and strategic resources

  • Choose to befriend neutral wildlife or compete against them, affecting their stances and your colony's strategy. Are they helpful allies or threats to eliminate?

Genetic Evolution

  • Encounter new plants and cells in your adventures and add them to your collective. Each of them offers unique effects and bonuses for expanding your microscopic empire.

  • Evolve and adapt to the ever-changing biomes by unlocking new genes for your genome. Only the fittest can survive!

World Map Progression

  • Enter the world map of freeplay mode to explore and dominate the primordial soup.

  • Establish trade routes between your settlements to transfer resources while protecting them from unfriendly entities.
