Genesis Rising The Universal Crusade Demo description
Genesis Rising: The Universal Crusade is a futuristic 3D game that uses the best elements of role-playing games

Three thousand years in the far distant future after what was believed to be the arrival of “The Savior”, Mankind has carved a bloody path across the known Universe, fighting its way through billion of enemies.

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.

This dominion over almost all sentient life forms was only attainable through the creation and exploitation of the ‘organids’ – genetically designed organic technology, easily adaptable to any enemy strategy through the introduction of seeds into the blank genetic makeup of these living machines.

The governing body directing the initiative is “The Chair of Three” on which the representatives of three Human factions reside: The Military, the Church and the Judicature.

Only one part of the Universe remains unconquered: The galaxy where the Universal Heart; an enigmatic entity that spawned all life and matter into the universe, is hidden. At least, that's what the Chair of Three believes.

As Captain Iconah, you have been commissioned to uncover the location and purpose of the Heart. A battle-hardened fleet commander and a brilliant genetic designer, you must follow in your father’s footsteps; quelling the alien insurgences, outsmarting pirate cohorts and uncovering the lost galaxy and the secrets hidden within.

The fate of Humankind rests on the path you choose; take command and lead your fleet to a glorious destiny and ensure the survival of the species!
