MorphX is a science-fiction action-adventure video game played from a third-person perspective. The player can gain abnormal abilities by killing different aliens, and absorbing their genetic material to acquire their specific traits.

In 2008, Earth was invaded by the alien swarm. Within the year, they had complete control of earth and had wiped out most of mankind. During 2009, the Swarm directed its effort to locate and wipe out the few remaining pockets of resistance. The year is now 2011, and mankind is still fighting to survive. Meanwhile, sightings of strange humanoid creatures are reported, their purpose unknown. Some believe they are the products of experiments the swarm has done on humans, while some believe it's the first of a new generation of swarm adapted to life on Earth.

In 2012, one of mankind's last bastions dubbed "The Laboratory", resides beneath the ruins of Moscow. There the survivors work tirelessly to stop this new threat.
