Niche - a genetics survival game Reviews

great gam

it's so hard to get to the home island and it's a great challenge tbh. while you're too busy worrying about food, predators, island threats, you realize you don't even have the home island gene anymore haha!

Pretty good game its just kinda hard lol or maybe im just bad at it

It's a turn based strategy game about adapting to new environments. The sandbox mode is pretty fun, and while the gameplay loop can be pretty repetitive, it's still interesting. I don't know if this is just me, but there seems to be a bug where the title theme plays on top of whatever other music is playing and it bothers me a bit.

i've never had to read the phrase "breedable siblings" until i was searching guides for this game 10/10

This is a super fun game to pass some time. I don't get obsessed with it like with some other games (probably because I don't know enough about genetics) but I think one could really get into it. To me it feels mostly like a cozy semi-idle game, I enjoy playing it during boring classes or meetings.

Eeeek, I'm in love! Danger, ,danger, I may stop eating and going outside. And it's hard, they aren't lying, it's hard. My tips to you. Don't try to be pretty right out the gate, lol. I think I had to restart maybe 30 x to get enough experience and a set up I could run with. But this is exactly what I was looking for Why did I keep scrolling by it for so long!

This game is really fun! I enjoy the strategy in keeping creatures alive and unlocking so many new features and parts to my creatures!

its a good game but i wish there was more updates and stuff like that instead of bux fixes

I have a strange love for genetics in particular, and I don't quite know why. Games like Creatures/Creatures 2 have always fascinated me, as evolution has. And here we have a game that's all about evolution and genetics. I love that as you move through the world, you *have* to adapt to it to get anywhere - it's not a choice, it's mandatory for your nichelings' survival. On some islands you'll have an abundance of food and nesting material, on others you'll be struggling with one or both as well as the weather and predators. Unlocking certain genes requires you to breed with creatures you befriend, others by simply surviving on certain maps for a set amount of days. It's all about correct resource management, patience, and tactical planning. And once you find Adam's tribe, over a thousand years after his very timely passing, you can stick around or keep going. It's a game that lives in an endless loop with only one goal - survive. If there's anything bad to say about the game, I really can't tell. I suppose some of the achievements are excessively hard to trigger, but for a game I enjoy as much as Niche, they're really inconsequential. Yes, I'll chase them, of course, but they're less of the point and more of an additional pool of challenges. Overall, if you like genetics, tactical rpgs, resource management, and exploration - this game is for you.
