Seed (2006) PC

Seed is a representative of the MMORPG genre, created by a Danish development company, Runestone Game Development. In many ways, however, the game stands out against a number of other items of this type - the first striking innovation is the comic style of graphics, including the characteristic dialog balloons.

The plot takes us into a distant future, into a foreign world where desperate settlers must join forces to ensure the survival of their colonies and our entire race. The planet called Da Vinci is no longer as friendly as it seemed before - it turned out that there is a very aggressive and hostile bacterium. In addition, contact with the Earth was lost several decades ago and the process of terraformation of the planet stopped for unknown reasons. Colonists have to face a variety of problems - overcrowding, internal conflicts, weather anomalies and a foreign form of life - otherwise the promised paradise will turn into a lost paradise.

MMO fans can be surprised at Seed's lack of combat - our weapon is more intellect than physical vigour - knowledge, ability to cooperate and will power combined with intelligence, ambition and science can be a mixture to save the colony from destruction. There are also no specific character classes. Players in the role of colonists must take care of the operation of decaying machines, discovering new knowledge or maintaining the circulation of information on the web.

Seed offers captivating gameplay in a vast, enduring game world, free dialogues - we can ask about anything (but if it's another matter), "internally rich" NPCs (own personality, motives, goals to achieve), comic 3D graphics realized in goal-shaded technology, reacting to our actions and changing world under their influence and a unique approach to tasks - practically every person, location or object can become the beginning of a new adventure.
