Project Genom, powered by Unreal Engine 4, is a unique shooter with elaborate role-playing system. A great variety of skills and a wide range of weapons will enable you to create a unique character to survive in the hostile environment, with the no-target system bringing dynamic to battles.
Choose your role! Unlock the power of your mental abilities that will help you heal your fellow party members. Develop your shooting skills and fire your way through hordes of enemies or take out your opponent with careful sniper rifle shots. Those who prefer to deal with their enemies at a closer distance will have a wonderful opportunity to cut, chop and slash with blades and glaives.
All of this will be available for both PvE and PvP modes. The PvE mode will open up a universe of several planets to explore, while the PvP world will greet you with special arenas with different modes and dynamic battles on multilayer maps.
Discover the oldest secrets of the planet, explore the enormous, unknown world, but be careful, for what you uncover may not only give humanity new knowledge but also destroy it. The world is full of global events that have an impact on the entire game universe. Watch out for them. You hold the key to the fragile balance in the world and only you can contain the chaos. But not all events occur on their own – one careless shot may trigger a disaster.
The game storyline fully depends on the decisions you make. Every step you take will have a ripple effect on your character’s fate and events in the world. Forget about a linear plot. Now whatever you do will have far-reaching consequences.
We have previously told you about plans to implement new character progression and equipment systems and today is the day when it goes live!
Now all information about your character is located in one window – the Genom window. It is divided into 12 paths of development. Each path has 6 skills with many nodes that can open new character features.
There are also 6 character organism systems: Cardiovascular, Musculoskeletal, Respiratory, Nervous, Immune and Digestive. Each system encompasses a certain set of organs. Each organ can undergo mutation, be replaced with a synthetic analogue or developed to a human level. Developing an organ along one of the paths allows you to get new organism features. Players should also remember that one may get infected with a disease while exploring the game world or otherwise damage any of the organs. But diseases differ, and while some of them may destroy an organ or affect other organs, certain diseases may help you get new skills. Whether a disease should be cured or not is up to you.
Changes regarding equipment are not that drastic but they are also important. We have decided to move away from a list-like inventory to a slot system based on the drag-and-drop mechanics, where the number of slots is limited for every category of items. The inventory can be expanded for a particular category with special points. For example, to increase the number of weapon slots, you need to put weapon points into a closed slot. New parameters will also soon be featured in the game, such as energy output and energy capacity. Certain items will have development requirements (a human, a mutant or a synthetic), while the pace of power consumption will have a really important role in terms of gameplay.
In the nearest future, Project Genom will see the following changes:
- Locations will become several times larger than they are at the moment. The main base will feature new chambers and units.
- There will be new quest mechanics which will include tasks involving the use of transport, survival skills, time quests and other things. Some quests will split into several directions with 2 or 3 different endings, depending on your choices.
- Characters will have new motion animation and reaction to being hit; character controls will also alter.
- New transport will be featured in the game.
Fans interested in Project Genom can get Early Access by purchasing a Founder's Pack (starting at $17.99).
You will have a chance to get your hands on cutting-edge equipment and most enhanced military hardware! Treat yourself to terrifyingly powerful weapons or fly a huge combat robot that demolishes everything in its wake. Blades, pistols, shotguns, glaives, sniper and assault rifles – all of these are at your character’s disposal. If that is not enough, you are welcome to use a turret or a massive combat robot. All of it does not exhaust the full list of weapons and hardware available to you.
Robots are insanely powerful weapons that have little problems drowning their surroundings in fire and explosions. Get inside a humongous piece of moving machinery and feel the ground tremble beneath your feet. Robots are heavily armed and well-protected. They will get you through the most dangerous areas where your regular armor will prove not strong enough. These death machines cannot be underestimated on the battlefield.
Combat robots are not the only way to make your enemy cower in terror. Covers will transform you into a mutant capable of carrying out symbiotic or psionic attacks. Use the parasites living in the body to heal yourself or your fellow party members. Summon various creatures to your aid to attack the enemy while you are a safe distance away.
Have a taste of what it’s like being a close-range fighter! Use manipulators to enhance your physical strength and deal a devastating damage on any of your enemies unlucky enough to cross paths with you.
All three types of special equipment are unique in their own way, with their own advantages and weaknesses. But all of them, with the right amount of thought put into it, can turn you into a god of war!
Build your own spaceship and embark on a journey to explore other planets! But remember, space is not devoid of life, and you are bound to partake in epic stellar battles that may cost you your life. Collect resources, assemble a team and build your first spaceship. It will help you evacuate when danger comes, or strike your enemy’s positions from the orbit. Soon enough you will discover the world of unknown planets under unfamiliar stars. To reach a new world is no easy task and you will have to prove your worthiness in a fight on more than one occasion.
Key Features:
- Special equipment – use robots or exoskeletons, arm yourself with a huge mechanical blade or undergo mutation to receive unique skills.
- Space travel – build your very own spaceship and use it as a support in battles or find a crew and start roaming the vastness of space.
- Developing skills when using items – the more often you use items or skills, the more powerful they become, which opens new opportunities for you.
