Invasive

Invasive is a farming game where you grow crops to sell at a premium while managing invasive species that can help protect your farm or cause new problems. Each season, you balance which crops to grow with the species on your land, weighing profitability against the risks. You can also use species to sabotage rival farmers and their crops.

Manage invasive species

You can buy and introduce more than 70 species, from insects and lizards to birds and wild beasts. They can help manage and protect your land, but they can also create problems. Rival AI farmers can release harmful species on your farm, and you can do the same to them.

Grow crops through the seasons

Crops depend on the quality and nutrients of the soil, and not every crop grows equally well on every plot. You can modify land with fertilizers to suit different crops. Seasons give you a limited planting window: seeds planted too early wither, while late planting risks crops freezing in the cold.

Weather changes dynamically, bringing rain, snow, heat and cold, with possible droughts and floods. The landscape changes with the seasons too: leaves change color and fall, grass turns brown, and snow covers the ground; in spring and summer, grass greens and leaves grow back for a new planting season.

Build and expand your farm

More than 100 purchasable items include fertilizers, tools, machines and gadgets. You can automate parts of farming to free up time to manage a larger farmstead. Buildings provide storage, water crops, fuel machines or hold your harvest until you want to sell it.

You can buy additional plots to expand your farm and grow more crops. Rival AI farmers affect both the economy and your crops. Prices fluctuate as they buy supplies and materials, so you can sell early to secure a high price or store your harvest in a silo until demand rises.
