About Epigenesis

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!

✦ 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]

Игра "Epigenesis" — атмосферный психологический триллер с глубоким сюжетом. Погружение в мир тайных экспериментов и моральных дилемм захватывающее, но сюжет местами запутан. Графика минималистичная, но создает напряженную атмосферу. Игровой процесс требует внимания к деталям и логического мышления. Несмотря на небольшие логические пробелы, игра оставляет сильное впечатление. Рекомендую тем, кто ценит интеллектуальные головоломки и мрачные сюжеты.
