About the Game

A turn-based roguelite unlike anything you've played before

Dive into the microscopic world - cure the virus ravaging the planet. In Cell Command, units grow when they move, and attacks shrink them. A "tank" could be a long, winding python that clogs up the battlefield & encircles its prey!

 

 

Mix DNA nucleotides A C G T to discover unique, unicellular combatants

Command cells (get it?) to construct bridges for ranged units to strike from afar, or poke holes in the map to trap hostiles. Gain attack bonuses when your cells form specific shapes with their long bodies. Dominate with godlike build synergies. Make use of poison, radiation, thorns & more.

 

 

Loads of content at launch for a 100+ hour journey

  • 4 modes with 3 ascensions & varied mission types

  • Research permanent upgrades

  • Enhance cells with genetic modifications

  • Enemy mutations begging to be subverted & outplayed

  • 80+ music tracks (with in-game "Jukebox!")

  • 300+ ways to blame your reading comprehension, lack of foresight & poor decision-making on anything but yourself
