Evaluation

Grey Goo launched on January 23, 2015 as a base game with three playable factions. The first paid DLC, the Emergence Campaign, shipped on June 9, 2015, adding a story expansion and a fourth multiplayer faction teased as upcoming. On January 31, 2016, Petroglyph released "Descent of the Shroud," introducing the Shroud as a full fourth playable faction — the game's single major post-launch content release. Alongside this update, the developer released the Grey Goo Definitive Edition, which bundles all content including the Emergence Campaign, the Shroud faction, new units, Mission 16, and the complete soundtrack. Following the Shroud launch, the team shipped several balance and bug-fix patches through March 29, 2016, and maintained weekly community events into early 2016. The last developer news post on record is from March 29, 2016. Both DLC items in the store listing are fully released, no unreleased content is listed, and the Definitive Edition explicitly packages "all DLC" as a complete collection. The December 2015 producer's letter teased upcoming announcements, which were subsequently fulfilled by the Shroud/Definitive Edition reveal in January 2016. No further content has been announced since that release, and there has been no developer communication since March 29, 2016.

About this game

FIGHT THE CHAOS. OR HARNESS ITS POWER.


Drawn to a remote world, intelligent lifeforms fight for control of its resources. Here they must each answer the primal choice of life...extinction or evolution?

Grey Goo is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that combines classic strategy mechanics and a balanced combat system with an emphasis on base-building. It puts you at the center of a tactical struggle for survival—and ultimately, control of Ecosystem 9.

Take on the single-player campaign to command three factions: the Humans, masters of defensive architecture; the Beta, a proud, versatile alien race; and the Goo, an enigmatic, highly mobile life form. Or compete with any of the four multiplayer factions—including the disruptive, unpredictable Shroud.
