About Bacteria Wars

✦ AI summary

Bacteria Wars has you commanding bacterial armies to invade enemy territory and conquer bases in tactical battles where your units are your only resource, making every loss a strategic blow. What sets it apart is the dynamic gameplay of mobile bases, customizable unit formations, late-game events that shift the challenge mid-match, and the constant tension between expanding your army for production and protecting your limited forces from being decimated.

Command your Bacteria in a war against the Cell Defense Force! Invade their territory, conquer their bases, and turn their own footholds against them in a world where your Units are your only resource! Fight battles across the a variety of unique maps where attacks could come from any direction, and know that any battle could be the difference between victory and death!

Oh, but it's not just mighty CDF you have to worry about. You must hold your ground against the armies of your fellow Bacteria, watch your back during the Late-Game event, and pray it isn't the Zombie Cell option that you selected!

Key Features:


  • Your Units Are Your Greatest (And Only) Resource:
Each player receives a continuous income of resources based on the number and type of units they have in their army. As your army expands, so too will your resource production... but be warned that the loss of your units will reduce your resource production, and your stockpile is limited in quantity.
Victory is therefore not likely to be achieved by simply throwing your units – your precious resources – at the enemy!
  • Mobile Bases:
Take the phrase "Adapt or Perish" to the next step! Static immobile bases are easy targets in a maze of tunnels that are constantly being patrolled by CDF forces. Every unit under your control may be moved around at will. Make good use of this newfound flexibility!
  • Late-Game Stage:
Spice up the late-game experience with a customizable Late-Game Event! From a fifteen minute rush to a one hour long-play, and from the entrance of a fourth player to the arrival of a nigh-unstoppable zombie plague, this event will surely mix things up. Up the difficulty and atmosphere by enabling Dark Mode, which disables all ambient light when the Late-Game Event starts.
  • Upgrade and Specialize Your Units:
Each Unit can be upgraded to better perform certain tasks, from increased detection range or faster production, to becoming an unstoppable juggernaut!
  • Customizable Unit Formations:
Adapt your units' formation to any situation on any terrain. If you're surrounded on all sides, will you circle up into a defensive ball, or bunch together into a devastating hammer and blow through to relative safety?

Not recommended Jun 9, 2022
Bacteria Wars is an Abandoned Early Access 2D retro pixel RTS where you control a bunch of cells and you have to fight off bacteria in small, simple maps. The game was deeply in development hell and hasn't been updated in over 3 months, so at this stage it's safe to say it's abandoned and will never be completed. Due to defects in the core game design, it's unplayable. A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution is locked and can't be changed, and there's no visual or graphics tweaks, so there's no way to improve the very lazy, mediocre visuals. Even worse, the game ignores resolution settings and just displays as a blurry upscaled mess... and it displays in a locked 4:3 aspect ratio (but renders outside the pillarbox, so some elements of the game cannot be seen!). This defect means the game won't actually start, it's broken and unplayable. This will be a mystery to most, because nobody knows about this game. Comically, the game only ever had one person log on at any time…

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
