Microcosmum tasks you with growing and commanding microorganism colonies in real-time strategy skirmishes against rival cells. The game offers a few hours of casual strategy gameplay with procedural levels and satisfying visuals, though it suffers from performance issues and limited content depth. Best suited for players seeking a laid-back mobile-style experience on desktop, particularly those nostalgic for browser-based organism battlers.

About this game

What players are saying

▼ Not recommended 0 hrs
Edit: The price changed from 5,99€ to 2.99€:
>You get about 2-3h of playtime.
>Expect a casual smartphone app not a computer game!

>I still feel the game is missing depth so if you are unsure try it for free on android.

>I think it's a fair price if you tried it on android and want to play it on the pc..

It's a recommended and not recommended..


The good:
+Pretty graphics
+Satisfying feeling capturing an enemy cell
+Eufloria/Boid clone

The bad:
-Feels like a port with unprecise controls and no visual feedback of the orders given.
-Leveled up cells hardly differ visually at level 3, 4.
-Lags when blue dots are at the same place. CPU 4770S, GPU 660GTX.

It's an ok little game, but not worth the price. With DLCs in total it is perhaps worth 3euros; the soundtrack consists of little more than one or two free tracks on cycle, levels are heavily recycled and the game is absolutely full of bugs.

Too many antibodies leads to severe stuttering and breaking of the path finding. Sometimes your cells won't produce antibodies because there appears to be a limit to how many a cell will produce, and your antibodies have a tendency to get stuck in the map borders. The AI doesn't give a crap about the map borders, rubber banding through them to escape from your antibodies, speed up leads to the game slowing down sometimes...

Good fun.
~Eufloria, micro wars etc reborn.
Nice feel to the game.
Sound effects a bit caustic and irritating after a while, easlily solved with a volume control,
and then game ends VERY abruptly immediately upon conquest (I find all of this genre except Eurfloria do this).
Its nice to view the spoils of of war for a moment before returning to the home screen.

Wacom pen does not seem to work with this game for some reason.... but thats just a problem because I am lazy and like things easy.

Good Entertaining Game. Buy it.

We have completely redone all the skills in the DLC. New skills are no longer tied to organisms. Capture – captures enemy antibodies. Gravitation – attracts the enemy's antibodies to a point. Push – pushes enemy antibodies away from your organisms. Have a good game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9531401/538bd594e9e0855fff6c2f37e584bb45951f4495.png
