Germ Swarm: Evolution & Mutation
Fight ever-mutating bacteria and viruses, collect gene modules from fallen pathogens, evolve and strengthen your immune system, unlock a variety of medical interventions, and create powerful synergistic builds to survive an ever-escalating infection.
Tired of “target dummy” enemies that just line up to die? Try Germ Swarm — pathogens mutate, coordinate, and fight back!
In Germ Swarm, you command the human immune system from a microscopic perspective, battling waves of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens as infection spreads throughout the host.
⚠️ Contains large numbers of bacteria, viruses, and microscopic biological imagery that may be uncomfortable for players with trypophobia.
Fight Ever-Mutating Pathogens
As an infection progresses, they continuously adapt and mutate in response to conditions inside the host:
Faster replication
Greater survivability
Increased mobility
Drug resistance
Cooperative swarm behaviors
Special mutations such as neurotoxin production
Unique pathogen bosses with distinct mechanics
Evolve Your Immune System
Unlock new immune cells, antibodies, and biological interventions to forge your own evolutionary path.
Inspired by real immunology, systems such as antigen presentation, immune memory, antibody production, and immune cell recruitment can all influence the course of battle.
As the game progresses, you will gain access to increasingly advanced medical interventions, including pharmaceuticals, vaccines, radiation therapy, and bacteriophage therapy, providing additional tools to combat ever-mutating pathogens.
Recover genetic fragments from defeated pathogen bosses, study their mutations and evolutionary adaptations, and turn their traits into powerful upgrades for your immune system.
