Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 4 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Darwinia is a unique mix of real-time strategy, action, and puzzles, featuring an innovative gesture-based control system. Save the Darwinians, battle viruses, and solve challenges to restore order in a stunning, retro-inspired digital world. Winner of multiple prestigious awards, including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at IGF 2006, Darwinia is a must-play for strategy and action fans alike.
Step into the vibrant world of Darwinia, a digital theme park created by the eccentric Dr. Sepulveda, where evolving AI creatures called Darwinians live. Their peaceful existence is disrupted by a dangerous virus, and as a hacker, it's up to you to save them. Dive into this corrupted digital realm, battle the virus, and uncover the mysteries threatening the Darwinians' survival.

Darwinia blends real-time strategy, action, and puzzles in an exciting mix. Control "programs" to fight viruses, herd Darwinians, and complete objectives. With a unique gesture-based control system, you draw shapes to summon units, adding a fresh twist to the strategy genre. As you progress, new abilities and tougher challenges keep the gameplay engaging.

Darwinia's retro-inspired, polygon-based visuals transport you to a colorful, abstract digital world that feels like a love letter to 80s classics like Tron and Defender. Its striking style, combined with fluid animations, makes it visually timeless. The game’s unique blend of nostalgia and modern flair led to widespread acclaim, winning multiple prestigious awards, including the IGF's Seamus McNally Grand Prize. Now fully remastered for modern systems, Darwinia’s classic charm shines as brightly today as when it first launched, making it a must-play for both old and new fans alike.

Introversion Software has been developing games since 2001, and stands behind acclaimed titles like Uplink, Defcon, Darwinia, Multiwinia, Prison Architect, Scanner Sombre, and their latest release, The Last Starship. Introversion has garnered both critical and commercial success being recognised with multiple awards including the IGF grand prize for Darwinia and BAFTA for best persistent game (Prison Architect). They have sold more than 4M copies of their games worldwide.

Cool game pity that it crashed once, then it keep crashing on start Assert rv== MA_SUCCES. Reinstallation did not help. I needed to download it from another place and play under another user.
great, very interesting game. you can really tell that the developers put a lot of attention into aesthetics and immersion, and that should probably be the biggest draw if you're interested in buying it. as an RTS, it is a fine game, although the mechanical depth is not stellar. building armies of darwinians is fun, and some of the later levels have you do interesting things. i also spent longer than i would have liked waiting for units to get where they were trying to go. beyond that, it is a fun game. i would say that it is worth trying out.

Why did I purchase this? There's something wrong with me. Avoid.
Reminds me of good times. Anyone ever own an Amiga?
Such a simple and fun game. Story is engaging too, I personally found myself more attached than I think I was supposed to be to the little dudes and the squaddies. Sadly though for some of the enemies I did have to just throw them into the meatgrinder and hope. Pretty slow though, if that's an issue for you. I enjoyed taking my time and cleaning up the islands.
This game is honestly so fun. I enjoyed pretty much every minute of it, and nothing challenging the game threw at me felt like the fault of the game, but rather an issue on my part. It still gets updated (not just bug fixes, actual game additions), so don't expect a 20 year old abandoned mess.
Very unique RTS. Cute aesthetic and unique features, not much depth or complexity. Worth the time I spent with it, probably won't revisit any time soon.
Bardzo ciekawa gierka muszę przyznać. Prosta w swoim wyglądzie i założeniach aczkolwiek jednak bardzo wciąga. O grafice mogę powiedzieć tyle, że jej po prostu nie ma a mimo tego gra się naprawdę przyjemnie. Ode mnie 7/10 i serdecznie polecam!!! :]
Una joyita que me tope gracias a las demos que venían en los discos de la revista Xbox. El soundtrack tan etereo que nacio para ambientar este entorno electrico y pixeleado. Un mundo lleno de maravillas y caos. Aquí no eres un Dios. Eres un guía tratando de salvar y entender a los extraños residentes del mundo que se te presenta ante tus ojos.
It's not a bad agame per se, but it's also not that great. My main gripe is that it's nearly impossible to lose so it feels more like a puzzle game than a strategy game.
