About Genesis Rising

Three thousand years in the future, mankind has carved a bloody path towards domination of the known universe. Self-proclaimed as a divine race and beyond reproach as a species, they view all alien races as inferior. With fleets of organic starships genetically engineered for war, humanity sets out to conquer the last remaining independent galaxy - The Universal Heart.
As Captain Iconah, you are commissioned to uncover the location and purpose of the Heart. Take command of a living fleet, altering your starship's DNA in real-time as you grant them new and powerful abilities. The Universal Crusade has just begun!
  • Unique space real-time strategy gameplay that immerses you in an epic crusade with a rich back story.
  • Non linear single player campaign comprised of over 30 branching missions.
  • Scalable RTS gameplay: Resource gathering, technology upgrades and combat are scalable for even the most novice RTS players.
  • Co-op mode allows two players to work together and control one fleet!
  • Customize all 20+ gene based organic ships with over 50 different weapons and abilities, giving you thousands of possible combinations to choose from when constructing a fleet.
  • Ship models morph in real time as genes are inserted, reflecting the choices that you make!
  • Make alliances with the many other non-player character alien races to secure their support and technology--or purge their resources!
  • Expand your genetic capabilities by invading enemy vessels, stealing unsuspecting technologies, and maximizing your gene bank's diversity.
  • Gamespy Multiplayer featuring 12-player support and many multiplayer maps on which to flex your dominance!

Tough one to get running. Yet A GEM once you do. Win 11 here required EVERY FIX available in the forums. I had to download the Exe replacement off GoogleDrive, and UNPACK all the Zip files in the WORLDS forlder before I got the joy. Also game ONLY runs PERFECTLY for me aspect ratio wise at 720p. Still even with all these issues THE GAME IS WORTH IT :) an overlooked classic IMO only reason it gets such bad reviews is due to how hard it is to get running for many people I am a computer expert though, and it took me about 45 minutes of work. Then another 30 minutes to get the screen resolution perfect (basically just figuring out which is native). unpack the ZIP files in the WORLDS folder https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W-jLYoSZjyEwAtImXDGxGObbs2p0litK ACTUALLY GAME CRASHES AFTER TUTORIAL LEVELS...and even though I invested about an hour and a half straight trying massive fixes, it still choked on me there from my save-file. So sadly, I have to pass this one on to the failure bin as I REFUSE to waste anymore time faffing around without a clear idea of what is causing the crashes. Believe me I tried like 30 adjustments and loads. One one barely got through!

Funny thing out of the box this game is not working on Windows 10 Pro with AMD Radeon AI Pro R9700, but fun thing under Ubuntu with STEAM runs immediately after install and no bugs, SO the lesson learned f***** Microsoft and they garbage OS. Love this game and love all old games. For Windows 10, 11 use this : https://fdossena.com/?p=mesa/index.frag to make the game run. Also compatibility settings : Win XP

I played this years ago, and have been itching to get back into it again. It would seem I'm running into the same issues y'all having - can't get it to run. "There has been an error executing application. If you press abort, mini dump file will be created in Z:\var\home\me\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\GenesisRising\bin." (Press retry to debug using debugger) The missing folder issues seems to be fixed - they are there. I do not think Steam should be selling a non-working game; seems like fraud to me.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
