i spend so long playing this game as a kid but i never realized how insanely advanced the gameplay was. Like look at gene pool. You chose which unit to produce, and then what to ARM him with. Thats such an insanely unique concept
This game really stood out...with everything. Everything they made was pretty alien and unique, was awesome. Would still play it if would be less clunky, i guess if animations had more frames (and movement speeds a little different), more like starcraft.
I loved this game as a kid lol, so original and alien game. Remember u could put lategame monsters together with all kinds of parts. The graphics are better in memory tho :D
I think all the sprites were made from 3D assets, just look at the cutscenes. It would be awesome if those 3D assets are somewhere and they brought this game back in full 3D. Got rid of all the bugs and problems, maybe some improvements. This would be a solid fucking game.
TO PLAY: You can simply Google around for the ISO it's not that hard to find. If you get the message that you need the disc to play. You can simply change the config file that's can be found in Warbreeds folder of the ISO itself. simply change the values to this: [product] productname=WarBreeds productversion=1.0 [directories] InstallFromDir= InstallToDir= [install] InstallFromDir= InstallToDir= InstallFromDrive= InstallToDrive= [Debugging] PrintDebugTextToScreen=FALSE PrintDebugTextToFile=false LogFile=DARWIN.DOG [ROZ] Path= (location of the warbreeds game folder) IsKey=true [CBLVSD] IsTrue=false After that you may need to change compatibility settings to Windows XP S3 with the low resolution and 256 colours options on. This may fuck up your Windows theme but nothing a reboot won't fix. And for some reason you need to manually select to run it in as administrator. I tested this on a Windows 7 ultimate 64bit system.
I see its been 9 years since this was made, trying to run on win7. Do you not run the Setup exe? i have tried a few times to get mine to run but cant seem to crack it, you are a legend if you reply
@@jamalridzuan2443 I've been trying to find a place where I can download the ISO from, it used to be easy to find but now I'm having a rough time, lot's of sketchy websites that give you some random setup.exe file, I don't trust that stuff one bit, I may have to result to torrenting, It's a shame though cuz at this point it's abandonware
can you please PLEASE tell me where to find the song that starts at around 3:45 ????? i'm really busting my nuds out trying to find that nostalgic credits music!!!
i played this game about 14 years ago when i was a kid, this was my first strategy game, as far i remembered i thught it was awesome, but now i got it recently and it turned out it has shitty and also hard gameplay ha ha
@beeqool When I was younger than that I played it and It was "very hard" but its the challenge that motivated me to keep playing not some shitty COD style games reminding at the boss battles REMEMBER PRESS E TO OPEN DOORS!!!
Look at the plot the graphics the sound effects the game play and all that in 1998!!! this RTS would put into shame many recent "rts" wonnabe titles... I really cant get it why this game did not last in time I mean not even a warbreeds 2?? come on!!
Bill Killernic Thanks for the kind words, Bill! I wish we could have made a WarBreeds 2, but I left Broderbund not long after we shipped to join Gas Powered Games.
Heya insanic1 ... It was owned by Brøderbund, which was bought by The Learning Company, which was bought by Mattel ... You'd have to follow the whole chain of events of what happened to Brøderbund ...
@Pauk Tozour well its been 2 years since this comment but Im going to respond to it anyway :P Is it necessary to obtain the rights? I mean who will know? just make the same game using the same resources and call it DNAbreeds or something (I know this name sucks but you get where im going with this right? ) Im sure the guys at Mattel dont even know they own this title...
ToanicanAsgonne -- what I meant is that you have life forms that do not look like humans...and they just kill each other. But, I do understand that there is no customization involved in creating your units' appearance.
@@Raptorschapter eh si bei tempi quando si viveva al sud prima che la mancanza di lavoro nascesse. I cd pieni di giochi, alcuni anche sconosciuti che non trovi neppure sul web.

@HardWarUK No, you're telling him why he has his opinion instead of allowing him to have his own reasons. You imply he doesn't have legitimate reasons beside "It's too hard."
@HardWarUK Or maybe he has legitimate reasons for not liking it? Hmm? Everyone has different tastes. Don't try and dismiss others opinions on grounds that you may or may not know are true.
This game came out around Starcraft 1. It was actually a good game for its time. 7/10
i spend so long playing this game as a kid
but i never realized how insanely advanced the gameplay was. Like look at gene pool. You chose which unit to produce, and then what to ARM him with. Thats such an insanely unique concept
if you didnt know the game is now available on steam for 5€
Omg - thank-you!@@Schproemftell
I spent SO long playing this game when I was younger!....so much nostalgia from watching this : ' ) ...where can I download this?!
Abs Dawodu Thanks for the kind words, Abs! So glad you enjoyed the game.
An update, it's now on steam, which I am thoroughly enjoying!@@PaulTozour
The soundtrack was available by putting the disk in a cd player, one of my childhood favorites.
played this so much when i was younger!!! along with the game Amok...don't know how many times i finished that
I love this game. And I would like to see a sequel to this game. :)
I miss this game so much! I haven't seen it since I was a kid.
my god old times .. never again games like this... im so sad
I used to put this disc in my CD player and listen to the music at 3:40 over and over. I need to see if I can't find my copy again.
It's a shame this game isn't popular, hardly anyone knows this game exists except a very low number.
This game really stood out...with everything. Everything they made was pretty alien and unique, was awesome. Would still play it if would be less clunky, i guess if animations had more frames (and movement speeds a little different), more like starcraft.
The OST is great, presents the feel and mood of the game well.

holy shit , its one of those rts that i played when i was a little shit.
so many memories ! thank you for the video !
Came out way before spore, I remember buying this in Beaties for £30!
The sprite style was really cool and it actually used a pylon expansion system like the protoss.
TO PLAY:
You can simply Google around for the ISO it's not that hard to find.
If you get the message that you need the disc to play.
You can simply change the config file that's can be found in Warbreeds folder of the ISO itself.
simply change the values to this:
[product]
productname=WarBreeds
productversion=1.0
[directories]
InstallFromDir=
InstallToDir=
[install]
InstallFromDir=
InstallToDir=
InstallFromDrive=
InstallToDrive=
[Debugging]
PrintDebugTextToScreen=FALSE
PrintDebugTextToFile=false
LogFile=DARWIN.DOG
[ROZ]
Path= (location of the warbreeds game folder)
IsKey=true
[CBLVSD]
IsTrue=false
After that you may need to change compatibility settings to Windows XP S3 with the low resolution and 256 colours options on.
This may fuck up your Windows theme but nothing a reboot won't fix.
And for some reason you need to manually select to run it in as administrator.
I tested this on a Windows 7 ultimate 64bit system.
Many thanks
I see its been 9 years since this was made, trying to run on win7. Do you not run the Setup exe? i have tried a few times to get mine to run but cant seem to crack it, you are a legend if you reply

@@Zeratul64 it's been five years since I tried to get it to work, I also run W10 now, I think I did run the setup not 100% sure though

Red Orb Entertainment was just something else. R.i.p Red Orb Entertainment
Holy hell. I didnt know the name of this game for ages till about 1 video ago
The game had really good ideas in it, shame they don't innovate this way these days.
Love this unique game! Do you know if they made a better version of the game with higher resolution?
can you please PLEASE tell me where to find the song that starts at around 3:45 ????? i'm really busting my nuds out trying to find that nostalgic credits music!!!
oh my god I wanna play this...
i played this game about 14 years ago when i was a kid, this was my first strategy game, as far i remembered i thught it was awesome, but now i got it recently and it turned out it has shitty and also hard gameplay ha ha
You forgot to steal the enemies DNA to gain their weaponry
Who have a map editor for it !?
I'm looking for one too... :(
What a coincidence!

+Paul Tozour I worked on this game and I went down with the company :( This was the best team Ive worked with in almost 20 years as a game developer.

this is like a SPORE Rts game.

I want to play this game again, can you please upload it to mediafire and send me the link
Does anyone have a working link for the ISO? I cannot find it anywhere for the life of me....

hey you you give me the download link
I remember playing this game back in the day (I played every possible RTS) and thinking it was shit.
sad don't work in windows 7

this game made no fucking sense
