Set in a fantastic 1930s world, Impossible Creatures is a 3D, real time strategy game that pits you against an evil villain in a desperate campaign across a chain of remote and diverse islands. Using earth's most formidable animals as building blocks, you must create an army of genetically altered mutant monsters in a titanic struggle to protect an unsuspecting world.

Impossible Creatures has more than 50 animals that can be combined to create a vast number of mutant creatures, the results of which are limited only by your creativity.

By building these creatures into powerful and effective armies, you can define your strategy and how you want to tackle their opponents.

The highly detailed, fully 3D dynamic world allows you to battle in four richly detailed environments, each with special flora and fauna.

You command dozens of creatures and henchmen in 15 missions across 14 distinct islands.

Impossible Creatures offers limitless creature combinations, armies, and strategies as well as online play and an easy-to-use mission editor that provides limitless play options.

Up to six players will be able to wage war in real time using Zone match. Multiplayer games are designed to be fast and furious, with a streamlined RTS approach. Micromanagement has been minimised to allow you to focus on the aspects of the game that are the most fun and compelling: combat and strategy. With more than 20 multiplayer maps, and the ability to refine your armies and strategy, multiplayer RTS gaming will never be the same. Player and creature stats will also be tracked and ranked on Zone.com.
