This is an “open world” card battle game, and its theme is about genes. The battle ability of each cards and the gameplay experience are all based on your particular design of each cards’ genes pattern.

It’s the world’s first GBG (gene-based game) in which all units are bred from its parent units, and inherit their genes. All attributes, skills, and other powers are completely determined by its gene pattern.

Remember the principles: gene pattern determines traits, and traits determine species.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2023-06-21*

This is an exceptionally ingenious and creative game. It's very interesting and seems to offer a multitude of different possibilities. It's just so fascinating!

### 5/5 — Great concept

*2019-08-06*

This game is unlike any I’ve ever played. It’s a really interesting take on playing with genetics. The tutorial is very detailed so once you complete it you can jump right into playing. 

It’s fun to try to collect new monsters and develop their skills trough evolution. The tech  tree is a nice touch that lets you unlock new skills and bonuses.

Additionally when I ran into a small bug the developer responded personally with a fix in two days. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game on iOS where this was the case. He seems clearly dedicated to the game it looks to be paying off. Keep up the good work, looking forward to any future updates.
