Description from the packaging.

When genetic scientists go bad...

You are a brilliant scientist, happily working to end world hunger by designing Theroids- large docile animals with the potential to be a cheap, efficient food source. Then things start to go wrong...One of your colleagues disappears with the genetic samples. Unstoppable mutant Theroids go on the rampage, taking over a chain of islands in the South Pacific. And the military is holding you responsible. Now you've got to create your own killer Theroids on steroids and strategically deploy them against the mutant invasion, or the world is doomed- and you'll lose your government grant. It's up to you to form strategies, lay tactics, and command bizarre animals in battle against this army of relentless creatures. Maybe you should have bred giant vegetables instead...

  • A high tech, genetic battle-strategy game.
  • No guns, no tanks, no bullets- you have to breed your own weapons.
  • Over 20 different islands to reclaim- each with unique terrain and hazardous battle conditions.
  • Top Secret game will pit you against a genetic engineer gone bad.
  • Independent Research mode to experiment in Artificial Life on your own terms.
  • Incredible sound effects and speech.
  • Actual digitized film footage of real actors.
  • Clay animation of the Theroids in action.
  • Ultimate, super "Beasts" are yours for the making.
  • The military says you're responsible, but...
  • DigiLife AL-2000: the most sophisticated Artificial Life laboratory in the world.
  • Strategically deploy your troops for battle across more than 20 different islands.
