Bacteria Wars

Bacteria Wars is a strategy game in which you command bacteria in a war against the Cell Defense Force (CDF) and rival bacteria. You invade territory, conquer bases and use captured footholds against their former owners. Battles take place across unique maps where attacks can come from any direction, and units are your only resource.

Battles and resources

Each player receives a continuous resource income based on the number and type of units in their army. Growing your army increases production, but losing units reduces it, and your stockpile has a limited capacity. Since units are also your resources, sending them into attacks carelessly can weaken your ability to produce more.

CDF forces patrol the tunnels, so stationary bases are vulnerable. You can move every unit under your control, letting you reposition your forces and adapt your bases to changing threats. You can also upgrade units for specific roles, such as greater detection range or faster production, or to make them more powerful in battle.

Formations and late-game events

You can customize unit formations to suit the situation and terrain. When surrounded, for example, you can form a defensive circle or group into a hammer formation to break through.

A customizable Late-Game Event can change how a match develops. Options include setting the event to begin after 15 minutes or an hour, adding a fourth player, or introducing a zombie plague. You can also enable Dark Mode, which turns off all ambient light when the event starts. You must also contend with rival bacteria, and the Zombie Cell option can bring a zombie threat into the late game.
