After two years of refining its gameplay through Early Access, Mutants: Genesis has officially launched its version 1.0, now available on Steam, iOS, and Android. Developed by Celsius Online, this collectible card battler introduces a dynamic twist to the genre, where your cards transform into animated combatants in a biotech-driven future dominated by mega-corporations and fierce competition.
In Mutants: Genesis, players assume the role of Psycogs, elite tacticians who summon genetically engineered mutants to battle in holographic arenas. Each match is designed to be an intense spectacle, with creatures springing to life from cards into fully animated fighters the moment they enter the fray.
Unlike traditional card games that often rely on static boards and text-based abilities, Mutants: Genesis offers an experience akin to a live-action arena brawler. The game's cards come with a sense of weight, presence, and visual flair, making every move and strategy visually engaging. It's not just about which cards you play, but the timing and method of deploying your mutants that can turn the tide of battle.
The game emphasizes strategic depth through its card synergy. With a roster of over 200 cards distributed across six unique gene factions, players must experiment with various team compositions and ability chains to unlock powerful combinations. Each faction has its own strategic focus—some excel in brute force, others in cunning manipulation or area control. Additionally, players can engage in solo missions or team up for three-player co-op adventures.
Progression in Mutants: Genesis is accessible and engaging, free from paywalls. Daily missions, rotating events, and a rich story campaign provide continuous incentives to log in, while cross-platform synchronization ensures a seamless experience across PC, tablet, and mobile devices. The game is also optimized for the Steam Deck, catering to players who enjoy gaming on the go.
If this sounds like your kind of game, you can download Mutants: Genesis now from your preferred platform. It's free-to-play with optional in-app purchases. For more options, check out this list of the best card battlers to play on iOS right now!
