Zenteni: Create Creatures

Zenteni: Create Creatures is a turn-based strategy game about managing a tribe and changing its DNA to meet challenges. You control a main hero who explores the territory, gathers resources and DNA modifications, and leads the tribe toward its goal of defeating the goblins. The game takes place on a single procedurally generated map and includes a short comic story with two endings.

Develop your tribe

DNA modifications can change traits such as health, stamina, strength, defence, dexterity, intelligence and charisma, improving abilities in combat or resource gathering. DNA changes also affect a hero’s appearance, including their eyes, hair, legs, hands and clothes. You can make the tribe larger through genetic children, and build manors for side heroes.

Buildings support and upgrade heroes, expand your territory, provide resources or improve abilities. Researching technologies unlocks features and adds options for managing resources. You can also build roads, bridges and stairs. The main hero can collect resources, DNA modifications, blueprints, soul shards for purchasing upgrades, seeds for farmers and manors.

Battles and enemies

Combat takes place in turn-based battles where you place your pawns on a board like a Go board. After battles, you can collect treasures and open chests. The enemies include four kinds of attacking plants, water elements that generate water on the map, and goblins, who build their own settlement. Defeating the goblins is the main goal.

The map and its contents

The procedurally generated map also features Gons flying high in the sky, which affect your buildings. Your tribe’s progress depends on choosing hero actions and managing resources as you work through challenges.
