Impossible Creatures is back by popular demand and likely here to stay for the duration. I’m looking forward to expansion packs that will include even more animals to mix and match and perhaps a terrain editor for making user maps available. For the great price and already booming community of support, the possibilities are endless for this Relic blockbuster. Move over, Dr. Moreau, here we come!

Limitations aside, Impossible Creatures still feels unique and is definitely worth playing. Fans of Spore will enjoy the creature building and younger players whose only RTS experience is the current Starcraft trilogy might appreciate the simple, straightforward and uncluttered gameplay. Of course, those who played — and maybe forgot — the original are in for a nice bit of inexpensive nostalgia.

Impossible Creatures keeps the heart and soul of the strategy game's release in the beginning of the 21st century and it definitely maintains a lot of charm. This is a great strategy and it delivers amazing moments of gameplay, which means that if you have the slightest interest in strange, yet fun games this one is a great addition to your Steam library!

Una volta passati oltre il potenziale non sfruttato, ci si trova di fronte a una campagna incentrata su una narrazione fantascientifica vecchia scuola, alla Wells, che non compare spesso in ambito videoludico – l'altro esempio che mi viene in mente è Paraworld, titolo che meriterebbe una Steam Edition – e lo stile è quello classico che attrarrà gli amanti della strategia in tempo reale d'altri tempi.
