Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution

I remember buying this a while back because I saw a youtuber play it years ago. It's honestly just not entertaining. The UI is hard to understand, it crashes easily, and the devs haven't touched this in years.

It's a dead game but I had some fun with it

An interesting concept that never really evolved and was abandoned by the devs. It had a lot of potential but will never reach it. It's a shame really.

I really wanted to love Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution. The concept sounded fantastic, and I was genuinely excited to play it, but unfortunately the actual game is incredibly frustrating. It's way too complicated without that complexity feeling rewarding. Everything moves painfully slowly, even when you're playing at the fastest speed, and the graphics are sluggish enough to make the whole experience feel tedious. It takes way too long for anything to actually happen, which makes it difficult to stay engaged. More than anything, it just doesn't deliver on what I expected from the concept. There's a really cool idea buried underneath all of this, but the execution feels poorly designed, and the graphics don't help. I'm honestly disappointed because I wanted this to be a fantastic game. The concept had so much potential, but the actual experience is just frustrating and poorly executed. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it. 👎

the only bad thing abt this game is that mass extinction is the only way i can find to get to the main menu. everything else is peak asf

It has been a few years since I launched this but I am surprised this is still on the store because it was abandoned and literally could not be played last I tried.
