In Dominant Species, players take on the role of a dominant animal faction vying for supremacy in a rapidly changing world. Set in a prehistoric Earth during the onset of an ice age, each faction represents a different class of animals—mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods—each struggling to adapt, evolve, and outlast the harsh environmental conditions. As the climate shifts, players must utilize their unique traits and actions to claim the most territory, develop new species, and engage in survival challenges. Strategic adaptation and dominance over key ecosystems are essential as players compete for the highest influence, ultimately determining which class will emerge as the true ruler of the planet.
