What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution has an intriguing core concept that players appreciate, but the execution falls short with overly complex mechanics that don't feel rewarding, sluggish graphics, and painfully slow pacing that makes gameplay tedious. Most players express disappointment that the game was abandoned by developers and appears unfinished, with some reporting it as unplayable or requiring workarounds like triggering mass extinction just to access menus. Players suggest this is not worth purchasing given its current state.
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.2 found this helpful
evolution is sick
Ist kina hard
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.
