Multiplayer
In Impossible Creatures, there are three game types available during multiplayer, which allows for up to six players at once. In «Destroy Enemy Lab», the first to destroy the enemies' main laboratories is the winner. The Insect Invasion official mod added a feature that can be turned on that defends the lab, at the cost of 35 points of electricity per second. In «Destroy Enemy Base», the winner is the first to destroy all enemy buildings, including the lab. In «Hunt Rex», each player is given a special unit, Rex Chance. Players must hunt down and kill other participants' Rex Chance units. The online multiplayer aspect of the game has been eradicated as Microsoft has stopped hosting the servers, although LAN play is still feasible. Yet, on August 8, 2009, a 3rd party member of Impossible Creatures' community, Dengus, revived the online service. However, Dengus has since closed down his Impossible Creatures Online (ICO) service for unknown reasons.
Plot
Dr. Eric Chanikov was one of the brightest scientific minds in history. After a failed experiment causes the Tunguska Event and kills his wife, he goes into willing exile at a chain of remote islands. There, he reports the creation of the Sigma Technology, a method which makes it possible to fuse two creatures together into a single organism. These reports are ignored by the scientific and mainstream communities. Impossible Creatures Game free Download Full Version.
Then, in 1937, believing that his last days are upon him, Chanikov sends a letter to his son, Rex, asking him to come visit his father. Rex, going by the name of «Rex Chance», a disgraced war reporter, travels to the archipelago. Discovering that his father died at the hands of the evil tycoon Upton Julius, he vows to avenge his father's murder. He is assisted by the late Chanikov's assistant, Dr. Lucy Willing. With her help, Rex quickly learns the power of the Sigma technology, and more about his family's past. As he spends time around the Sigma technology, latent abilities are made manifest within him. These abilities make him increasingly superhuman, allowing him to directly assist his Sigma Creatures in battle.
Lucy and Rex's progress is slowed by those loyal to Julius: Whitey Hooten, a whaler whose Sigma-created creatures are slow and powerful, Velika la Pette, a high-strung aristocrat who relies on aerial units, and Dr. Ganglion, a mad scientist fond of using creatures most would call abominations.
Julius is, however, confronted and defeated at the end of the game. The reasoning behind Rex's latent abilities is at last revealed: he is the accidental first product of the Sigma technology, a human combined with thousands of animal traits. As the game closes, Rex is shown with his pupils missing, a trait common among Sigma-created creatures.
Characters
Rex Chance
Rex Chance is the main protagonist of the game, a renowned war correspondent revered for his coverage of international conflicts. During the Spanish Civil War, Rex breaks the golden rule of not «interfering» and is promptly fired when he returns to the United States. He searches his longtime lost father, Dr. Eric Chanikov, following clues through newspaper clippings and a letter that Chanikov left for him. Chance discovers that his father was the leading scientist in the Sigma project—a technology that combines creatures' DNA to create hybrid animals. Upton Julius, the main villain, pursues him relentlessly across Isla Variatas in an attempt to capture Rex for unknown purposes. During the campaign, Rex witnesses the wonder and horror of Sigma, convincing him that it is too powerful in the hands of mortal men. After a brief spat with Lucy, he convinces her to help him erase all trace of the technology in order to avoid its abuse. It is later revealed that Rex Chance was the first product in an attempt to create a human-animal hybrid with the Sigma technology after the Tunguska blast which gave Rex his powers, giving reason as to why Julius demanded that Chance be brought to him alive.
