About This Game

Collect life from Earth's real past

Travel through 11 eras of Earth's natural history, from some of the earliest complex ecosystems to much later chapters in the evolution of life.

The creatures you encounter are not simply fantasy monsters. Beneath their cute, heavily stylized appearance are organisms based on animals and other lifeforms that actually existed in Earth's past, drawing inspiration from our current scientific understanding of prehistoric life.

Epochlings adds time travel, fusion and its own fictional systems to that foundation – but the history of life underneath them is real.

Discover around 90 creatures

Build a collection of around 90 different creatures, each originating from a particular part of Earth's history.

As time advances through an era, ecosystems change. Some creatures disappear, others emerge, and rarer species may only become available during particular stages of an era.

Capture them before their time is gone and preserve them outside the normal flow of history.

Fuse creatures across millions of years

Your collection is only the beginning.

Combine creatures through fusion to create new forms that could never have existed naturally. Species separated by hundreds of millions of years can become part of the same lineage, opening up a huge range of possible combinations.

Experiment with different creatures, traits and abilities to create Epochlings suited to your own strategy.

With around 90 creatures serving as the foundation, fusion turns the collection into far more than a fixed list of species.

Raise, upgrade and specialize your collection

Creatures are not disposable units.

Develop the Epochlings you capture, improve their capabilities and strengthen them over repeated journeys through time. Decide which creatures deserve further investment and which combinations should become permanent parts of your collection.

The goal is not simply to find every species – it is to build, improve and experiment with a collection that becomes uniquely yours.

Prepare your team. Then watch the battle unfold.

Combat focuses on preparation rather than constant micromanagement.

Choose your Epochlings, develop their strengths, combine complementary abilities and assemble a team suited to the encounters ahead. Once battle begins, your creatures fight automatically, putting the decisions you made beforehand to the test.

A stronger creature helps. A better-prepared team can matter even more.

Watch entire eras change around you

An era is not a static biome.

Time moves forward as you progress. Life changes with it. Species appear, flourish and eventually vanish as you travel through different stages of Earth's history.

Later sections become more dangerous, but advancing deeper into an era may also reveal creatures that could never have been encountered earlier.

Push forward and risk harder battles for new opportunities – or rewind history and approach the era differently.

Rewind time without losing everything

Eventually, time turns back.

A rewind sends you through an era again, but the creatures you have preserved outside the normal timeline remain with you. Your collection, development and carefully created fusions allow you to return stronger and pursue possibilities that were previously out of reach.

Missed a species?

Want another specimen for a fusion?

Need a different team for what comes later?

Go back.

History will repeat itself.

Your collection does not have to.

Build a collection that history never could

Epochlings combines creature collecting, fusion, upgrading, team building and automatic battles with a journey through the genuine natural history of our planet.

Discover organisms that once lived on Earth.

Preserve them beyond extinction.

Combine lifeforms that evolution kept millions of years apart.

And turn the history of life itself into a collection of possibilities.

Nearly 90 creatures. 11 eras. Countless combinations. One collection beyond time.
