Overview
About this game
Use the power of Earth's creatures
Collect creatures like honey badgers, tarantula hawks, mantis shrimps or sequoia trees and use their powers to battle the mutated masses of life forms infected by an alien virus.
Evolve each creature in multiple ways
In Life Altered you can stack multiple evolutions on any creature, increasing their synergetic power. Available evolutions are represented by the classes of your characters, for example "Mammals", "Plants", "Arthropods", "Reptiles" and more.
Rapid gameplay or careful deliberation - the choice is yours
Life Altered is a turn-based game with deep tactical options to consider. As such, players can take as long as they like to decide their actions. You will even be able to unlock Undo/Reset functions after beating the game at its lowest ascension.
Nevertheless, if you've become familiar with the game's creatures and functions, you will be able to play as fast as you want. There will be no cutscenes or forced lengthy animations slowing you down.

Experience a sci-fi story based on an alternate history of Earth
Life Altered is about fast and gripping gameplay. Therefore the story is completely optional and will never intrude on the action and playability of the game. However, interested players will be able to discover an intricate backstory starting with a world changing event 300 years ago - the emergence of gifted humans able to control the powers of other life forms. Discover the origin of their powers and how it connects to the alien menace.
