Read full descriptionHide full description
A parasite is spreading. You are the last line of defence. Deep inside a rhinoceros beetle, a deadly fungus is taking hold. Take command of the host's cellular defences and fight back -- organ by organ, system by system -- in this handcrafted strategy game that brings the hidden battlefield inside every living creature to your fingertips. 25 LEVELS ACROSS 5 WORLDS Journey through the beetle's body, from the haemolymph to the neural cluster. Each of the five worlds introduces a unique environment with its own strategic challenge, requiring you to rethink your approach at every turn. 5 UNIQUE MECHANICS Master Armoured Nodes that resist attack, Flow Channels that accelerate unit movement, Linear Pathways that constrain your routes, Signal Relay chains that extend your reach, and Multi-Map battles that split the fight across interconnected zones. DEEP DEFENSIVE UPGRADES Upgrade captured nodes through four tiers of defence. Hold your ground, build your forces, and time your upgrades to turn the tide. Every decision matters -- overextend and the fungus will reclaim what you fought to protect. ADAPTIVE AI Five difficulty levels ensure a fair fight for newcomers and a ruthless challenge for veterans. The AI evaluates distance, unit advantage, and strategic value to mount intelligent, varied offensives. DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE Cell Conquest ships with comprehensive accessibility options: five colourblind display modes, reduced motion settings, adjustable text size, and a confirm-send toggle for precise control. Every player deserves a great strategy game. RESPECT FOR YOUR TIME No advertisements. No pay-to-win mechanics. No internet connection required. Just you, your cells, and the fight to save your host. Download Cell Conquest and begin the battle within.
