Life finds a way - at least if you a little help. In Niche - a genetics survival game from the company Stray Fawn Studio you can try your hand at being the leader of a new species. Your goal is to keep a tribe of creatures alive for as long as possible in the Rougle-lite game published by WhisperGames and adapt them perfectly to their environment.
Niche - a genetics survival game - Adam, Eve and the hexagons
Niche - a genetics survival game begins with a fox-like animal called Adam, who is snatched away from his family. It lands on an island where it meets Eve. The two foxes are the founders of your new species. Because they are relatively similar, the two creatures can reproduce and give you the first members of your tribe. However, this marks the beginning of a long journey before you actually see a species in front of you, with their surroundings perfectly.
The game is played in different biotopes, which are always divided into small hexagonal fields. In each biotope there are different Plantsfood sources, but also other life forms that could potentially be dangerous to your species. In the style of a turn-based role-playing game, your creatures have action points that you can spend so that they can gather food, explore the environment or mate, for example. However, you must use your action points wisely, as they also represent the lifespan of your tribe members.
The Niche Drop Evolution
A key element in Niche - a genetics survival game is the DNA of the creatures your tribe encounters on its journey. Each Life form has different genetic factors. For example, some animals can swim, while others can fly. Some species are very strong and others can camouflage themselves from enemies. Through clever pairing and reproduction, you transfer genetic factors into the pool of your species in order to bring offspring into the world that are better adapted to the environment. For example, you can specifically breed the ability to swim into your tribe if you are in a biotope where most of the resources are in the water.
The correct combination and sorting of genetic Factors is essential for survival. Otherwise, you will quickly become prey to predators or diseases that can destroy your entire species. Then you start again from scratch to experience the process of reproduction and adaptation all over again. However, if you play it smart, you'll help your species face a long future in Niche - a genetics survival game.
