About Epigenesis

✦ AI summary

Epigenesis is an online multiplayer FPS where two teams battle across sky-high platforms using gravity cannons and jetpacks to score goals and capture territory in a fast-paced non-lethal ballgame. Win by either building a node network from your goal to the opponent's base or landing the most scores before time runs out, requiring tactical teamwork and precision gunplay to dominate.

Epigenesis is an online multiplayer sports/FPS game in which two sides are locked in a never-ending fight for world domination by playing ball.

In this non-lethal ballgame of the future, players leap across platforms suspended high up in the air trying to get a ball located in the middle of the arena and score goals against their opponents. Each player carries a gravity cannon capable of pushing enemies (and friends) down from the heights of the arena.

When a player scores, he receives a genetically modified super-seed and gets the opportunity to plant it onto a platform to capture it. To win the game you must capture towers and construct a node system from your goal post all the way to your opponents' goal post. If this hasn't happened by the time that the clock reaches zero, the team with the most scores win!

Teamwork, tactics and precision is key to win eternal glory in a game of Epigenesis!

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

The game is described as a dead multiplayer arena FPS with a unique ball-throwing mechanic that failed to retain its player base. While some players appreciate it as a nostalgic hidden gem with stylish visuals and experimental gameplay, the consensus is that the multiplayer community has completely dried up, making it largely unplayable today despite its creative concept.

[b]Euthanasis | KAMGUSTA's MINI REVIEW[/b] It's a multiplayer game long dead. It was a team FPS arena style where you had to throw a ball into a circle. I didn't see anyone crying for the loss. [b]Best played in your memories Recommended buy price: free Score: 5/10[/b]

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
