Features
Everything the hive grows — combat, evolution, progression, presentation.
Combat
Waves descend from the breeding membrane toward your Hive Core. Towers target, lead and fire on their own; you decide what grows where, when to relocate, and when to spend your hero's ability. Reactions (fracture + corrosion = shred), armor, shields, auras, artillery deadzones and flying strains keep placement decisions sharp for hundreds of hours.
Four evolution layers per tower
Stars — permanent ★-paths bought with shards. Branches — in-run mutually exclusive mutations that re-author how a tower fires. Strains — in-run evolution fed by consuming duplicates from the Biomorph Conveyor. Mastery — kill-fed ranks with lore and visible cosmetic evolution. All four stack, and all four are visible on the battlefield model.
Heroes
Champions with doctrines (dive, guard, control, phase), active abilities, ★10 upgrade paths with ability forks at ★5/★8, and full Weapon/Armor/Relic loadouts with set bonuses — rendered on the battlefield by a procedural gear system.
The permanent game
A genome upgrade tree, a levelable Gene Archive of draft cards, tower and hero labs, equipment crafting, per-tower Mulligan organisms, collections with rank bonuses, prestige with Ascendant nodes, and a Power Score that folds all of it into one honest number.
Modes
Campaign — a procedurally authored stage ladder with events and milestone bosses. Infinite — an AI Director escalating against your best. Boss Rush — wave N is N bosses. Daily Run — one deterministic seed per day, worldwide.
Presentation
A living battlefield that terraforms with your run, procedural creature and turret bodies, a fully scored opening cinematic, an adaptive generative soundtrack (the Mega raids have their own hymn), and gore that routes every kill's biomass visibly home. All of it procedural — the whole game ships lighter than one video file.
Fair by construction
Deterministic simulation, replays as links, no energy timers on core play, no loot boxes for power, and saves that live on YOUR device with optional cloud backup.
