Mutants: Genesis releases on iOS, Android, and Steam after remaining in Early Access for over two years

• Mutants: Genesis has officially released on PC and smartphones
• It is a card-battler with full-blown combat animations
• Over 200 cards split across six gene factions

After two years of testing the waters in Early Access, Mutants: Genesis has officially hit version 1.0 and opened the gates to everyone on Steam, iOS, and Android. Developed by Celsius Online, this collectible card battler is a kinetic twist on the genre, one where your cards don’t just represent fighters – they become them.

You’re dropped into a biotech-fuelled future ruled by mega-corporations and ruthless competition, where elite tacticians called Psycogs summon genetically modified mutants into massive holographic arenas. Each match is meant to be a high-stakes performance, with creatures transforming from cards into full-blown animated combatants the moment they hit the field.

Unlike most CCGs that keep the action locked behind static boards and text-heavy abilities, it seems Mutants: Genesis throws you into something closer to a live-action arena brawler. Cards have weight, presence, and visual flair as every attack, block, and special move is fully animated. It’s not just about what you play, but when and how you unleash your mutants that makes the difference.

Strategically, it leans deep into synergy. With over 200 cards split across six gene factions, you’ll need to experiment with team compositions and ability chains to find powerful combos. Each gene plays differently – some lean into brute force, while others favour sneaky manipulation or devastating area control. You also have solo or three-player co-op missions to choose from.

Progression isn’t locked behind paywalls either. Daily missions, rotating events, and a story-rich campaign give you reasons to log in, while cross-platform sync lets you pick up where you left off, whether you’re on PC, tablet, or mobile. It’s even optimised for Steam Deck for those who want that hybrid handheld feel.
