Overview
Choose your starting guppy, then use an all-new experience point-based drafting system to buy upgraded bodies and all manner of new parts for your guppy. Quickly adapt it to become the most powerful master fish in the sea with any combination of aquatic bodies and parts you can mash up, battling the other master fish to the death along the way for there can be only one master fish in this ocean.
A.D.A.P.T. is a mashup style battle game with an experience-based drafting mechanism where each player starts as a humble guppy fish and then upgrades his body over time, while forcibly Adapting new parts, to create a Frankenstein-level "Masterfish", all in preparation for battle to be come the last Masterfish in the sea. In other words, it's a fast-playing game about mutant fish battling to the death.
Will your Dolphin, with the armored scales of an Arampaima, the mouth of a giant Sea Bass, the bioelectricity of an Eel, and the tail of a Thresher Shark prove victorious by ramming other fish with its lethal Swordfish horn? Will your Sailfish, with a Clownfish Tail, poisonous Lionfish pectoral fins, and Anglerfish Light Node, followed by a school of fish he commands, be the last Master Fish alive? Or will your Great White Shark, with the spiked skin of a Puffer Fish, over-sized brain, and regenerating heart be the last fish swimming by leaping from the water with its Flying Fish wings for a diving sneak attack? The possibilities are endless!
With Octo, Fantasy, Reptile, Guppy, and Mech expansions also available, there's no reason that your Giant Squid with the wings of a Pegasus and claws of a dragon can't claim victory through use of torpedoes from inside its tortoise shell. Each time you upgrade your fish's body or add new parts, it becomes more powerful, lives longer, and gains new special abilities!
