Genesis Alpha One

Genesis Alpha One is set in a near future ravaged by wars, corrupt regimes and devastating pollution. As captain of a Genesis starship, you travel into uncharted space on a mission to save humanity. You build and manage a vessel, gather resources, explore a vast randomly generated universe and contend with alien infestations.

Explore the galaxy

Each run takes place in a huge, randomised galaxy. Choose one of three difficulty levels or set the challenge with Custom Game Mode. Discover planets, navigate asteroid fields and face the Mechanics and Framen, space pirates who board your ship to destroy it and everyone aboard.

Death ends a run when all your clones are dead. Artefacts you find carry over to later playthroughs, and you unlock new corporations that make you more powerful with each attempt.

Build your starship

You begin with a small vessel and expand it into an intergalactic ark by combining dozens of upgradable modules. These include crew quarters, workshops, hangars, clone labs and greenhouses. An intuitive building menu lets you snap modules together to shape the ship to your playstyle, then explore it in first person.

Defend the crew

Alien infestations can spread quickly, contaminating the ship and its crew. You need to wipe them out before they overwhelm you and destroy the vessel. Research weapons and defences, use powerful weaponry, study alien diseases to heal your crew, equip new abilities and deploy warbots against the alien hordes.

Clone and adapt

As the ship grows, you use cloning technology to expand its crew. Collect DNA samples from aliens and splice them with crew members, giving humanity a chance to develop new abilities.

Gather resources

Explore dangerous planets to find what you need to expand the ship and sustain its crew. Gather elements such as Copper and Uranium, harvest plants, and search for alien artefacts and information left by earlier explorers who did not survive.

Deluxe Edition

The Deluxe Edition includes an artbook, a soundtrack and the Rocket Star Corporation DLC.
