Evaluation

Genesis Alpha One Deluxe Edition is a bundled package that launched on Steam on February 25, 2020, combining the full game with the Artbook, Soundtrack, and Rocket Star Corporation DLC — all content that was available at the time of the Steam release. The store description lists the Deluxe Edition contents explicitly and presents them as a complete package. After the Steam launch, the developer shipped one major update — the Ship Assault update on August 27, 2020 — which added substantial new features including ship boarding, crew progression, wormhole exploration, and numerous gameplay improvements. A follow-up bug fix patch was released on November 9, 2020 to address issues introduced by that update. There have been no developer communications, updates, or content releases since November 2020. The Ship Assault update appears to have been the final major content addition to the game. No future content was announced, no roadmap was published, and no DLC beyond what was included at launch has been listed on the store. The developer's last substantive statement at launch (February 25, 2020) mentioned excitement about "a bigger update which will be coming in the future" — that update was plausibly the Ship Assault update that shipped in August 2020, after which all developer activity ceased. With all included content delivered, no outstanding commitments, and no developer activity since November 2020, the game is complete.

About this game

Deluxe Edition Includes:

Artbook

Soundtrack

Rocket Star Corporation DLC

In a near future ravaged by wars, corrupt regimes and devastating pollution, influential corporations have created the Genesis program in a last-ditch attempt to save humanity.

As the Captain of a Genesis starship, you journey into uncharted space on the ultimate mission. Build and manage a space vessel, farm resources, deal with terrifying alien infestations, clone creatures and explore a vast, randomly generated universe.

Go Rogue

Huge, randomised galaxies ensure every run in Genesis Alpha One is unique. Choose one of three difficulties or tailor the game to your playstyle with the Custom Game Mode. Discover new planets, circumvent asteroid fields and survive encounters with the Mechanics and Framen, space pirates who will board your ship to destroy your ship and all its inhabitants. Death is the end and once all your clones are dead, the mission is over. However, you will carry through artefacts unearthed into your next playthrough as well as unlock new corporations, making you more powerful with each attempt.

Build, Upgrade, Explore

Starting with a small vessel, you’ll have to build and maintain an intergalactic ark by combining dozens of upgradable spaceship modules including crew quarters, workshops, hangars, clone labs and greenhouses.

Using an intuitive building menu, easily snap together the pieces of your ship to tailor it to your playstyle. Develop your vessel and then explore your creation in first person.

Battle Alien Infestations

Alien infestations can spread quickly, contaminating the ship and crew. It’s imperative to wipe them out before you become overwhelmed and your ship is destroyed. An arsenal of weapons and defences can be researched to help you fight the alien threat. Unleash an array of powerful weaponry, research alien diseases to heal your crew, equip new abilities and deploy warbots to devastate the alien hordes.

Clone and Create New Lifeforms

As your ship grows, so must your crew. Using ground-breaking cloning technology, your crew will expand to meet the needs of the ship.

Loot DNA samples from the aliens you encounter across the galaxy and splice them with members of your crew to give humanity a chance to prosper with abilities far beyond what was previously imagined.

Delve Deep Into Vastness of Space For Valuable Resources

In order to expand your ship and sustain your crew, you must explore planets fraught with danger. Gather elements such as Copper and Uranium and harvest plants to sustain life aboard your vessel. You may also find alien artefacts and intel from those explorers that have gone before, and not lived to tell the tale.
