Emerging Giants
Evolve life. Adapt to Earth. Build a living planet.
Over 400 million years ago, plant life began its journey from freshwater onto land. Shape its evolution in this turn-based strategy game grounded in real-world ecology. Create species, choose their adaptations, and spread across diverse habitats. Play solo or compete against human and AI rivals to bring a barren Earth to life.

Your Species
Evolve plants with real adaptations
It takes a diverse plant community to spread across the planet. The adaptations you choose shape where each species you evolve will thrive. Explore their fitness for different climates before placing new species in the world.
The World
Every tile is an ecosystem
Each tile captures a different balance of climate, competition, and terrain. From tropical rainforests to icy tundra, the adaptations and traits you select determine where your plants can take root and compete with rival species.
Habitat 01
Rainforest
Abundant sunlight and rainfall where forest giants can grow.
Spreading
Carry life into new territory
Wind carries seeds and spores into new territory in the early millennia. As insects, small animals, and birds evolve alongside your plants, they help pollinate and spread your species across the planet.
Survival is never guaranteed
Fires, floods, and volcanic eruptions can undo generations of growth or open new ground for your species. Build a resilient, biodiverse plant community and adapt your strategy as conditions change.
