About

Darwinia is a unique mix of real-time strategy, action, and puzzles, featuring an innovative gesture-based control system. Save the Darwinians, battle viruses, and solve challenges to restore order in a stunning, retro-inspired digital world. Winner of multiple prestigious awards, including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at IGF 2006, Darwinia is a must-play for strategy and action fans alike.

Step into the vibrant world of Darwinia, a digital theme park created by the eccentric Dr. Sepulveda, where evolving AI creatures called Darwinians live. Their peaceful existence is disrupted by a dangerous virus, and as a hacker, it's up to you to save them. Dive into this corrupted digital realm, battle the virus, and uncover the mysteries threatening the Darwinians' survival.

Darwinia blends real-time strategy, action, and puzzles in an exciting mix. Control "programs" to fight viruses, herd Darwinians, and complete objectives. With a unique gesture-based control system, you draw shapes to summon units, adding a fresh twist to the strategy genre. As you progress, new abilities and tougher challenges keep the gameplay engaging.

Darwinia's retro-inspired, polygon-based visuals transport you to a colorful, abstract digital world that feels like a love letter to 80s classics like Tron and Defender. Its striking style, combined with fluid animations, makes it visually timeless. The game’s unique blend of nostalgia and modern flair led to widespread acclaim, winning multiple prestigious awards, including the IGF's Seamus McNally Grand Prize. Now fully remastered for modern systems, Darwinia’s classic charm shines as brightly today as when it first launched, making it a must-play for both old and new fans alike.

Introversion Software has been developing games since 2001, and stands behind acclaimed titles like Uplink, Defcon, Darwinia, Multiwinia, Prison Architect, Scanner Sombre, and their latest release, The Last Starship.

They have sold more than 4M copies of their games worldwide.
