thousands of possible combinations to choose from when constructing a fleet.
*        As genes are inserted, ship models will morph in real-time to
reflect the choices that you make!

vessels, steal unsuspecting technology and maximize your gene bank's
diversity.

support and technology, or purge them completely and take whatever you want!


Game Summary

Three thousand years in the distant future after what was believed to be the
arrival of "The Savior," mankind has carved a bloody path across the known
Universe. Considering themselves a divine race and beyond reproach as a
species, they view all alien races as inferior. Those that do not bend and
acknowledge the infinite superiority of the Human genome are subsequently
punished or simply destroyed. The dominion of the Human race was ensured by
Organids - genetically designed organic machines, easily adaptable to any
enemy strategy.  

Take on the role of Captain Iconah, a battle-hardened fleet commander and a
brilliant genetic designer, as you control a fleet of fully customizable
organic ships in an attempt to conquer the last region of the galaxy: the
Universal Heart, an enigmatic entity that spawned all life and matter in the
universe. At least that's what the Human's believe.

Take command and lead your fleet to a glorious destiny and ensure the
survival of mankind. 

Genesis Rising is developed by Metamorf Studios.  The title has an ESRB
rating of 'T' for Teen in North America. For further information, please
