I love this game. Put simply, there's nothing like it anywhere, this game's unique and immersive. I thoroughly enjoyed building up my ship and my crew, exploring systems, and researching (and killing) an endless host of hostile aliens. It's like playing out so many of my favorite sci-fi/horror movies. Full disclosure, I rarely buy games these days but I had to have this, and I pray there will be more, or a sequel, 'cause I'd buy those, too Thanks to the devs and the studio for making an all-time favorite game.

I bought and played this game when it first came out on Xbox One and was exclusive to the console. Back then, they were still updating it. Even though it is abandoned now, it is still very good! So good that being abandoned doesn't matter in the slightest! It can be a little bit repetitive with the grind and micro managing. But also so rewarding when your layout works right! For the people that complain about the infestation: that's part of the fun! If you suck so bad that you can't be bothered to place turrets and energy barriers to effectively protect your ship against invaders then you need to go back to Minecraft creative! (Tip: Use the hanger and land on planets to investigate sites. If you're lucky, early game you'll find a cute little mobile turret robot. He can patrol the underbelly of your ship and clean out infestations). I was missing this game so much that when I saw it on steam last week, I just had to have it... AT FULL PRICE BTW! It is worth it as a space strategy colonization game. Seriously, give it a try!

The game is both kind of crude and incredibly ambitious at the same time. There's an incredibly steep learning curve at first, and the menus are incredibly ugly and not exactly user friendly. But once you get past that, this game is truly amazing for what it is. You play as commander of a colonization ship, dispatched by earth. The ship is staffed by clones, and when your crew die you simply make more in second in a clone lab. You are entirely disposable, if your captain dies, a member of the crew is promoted to take their place. The game is sort of a roguelite, as you start each run with a tiny barely functional ship and a handful of crew. You have to scavenge for resources and slowly expand your ship section by section. You'll add new modules, more storage space, abilties, life support, etc. Your primary source of loot will be at first the destroyed wrecks of OTHER colony ships. It's a quantity over quality approach, and space is littered with the ships that failed. You'll build a tractor beam that locks onto wreckage and pulls it into a room on your ship. Everytime wreckage pops out there's a chance some alien creepy crawlies hitched a ride. Worms, bugs, etc. You'll have to stop them from getting out of the tractor beam room and infecting the rest of the ship. Alien creatures if allowed will scuttle off into the vents and floor spaces. They'll begin to lay eggs and grow a creeping crud that will fill whole corridors. The crud will begin to hatch more aliens, and the stuff can spread through a ship like wildfire. The insects will chew up wires, start fires, and can eventually cause entire modules to blow apart due to explosive decompression. And this is where the game gets truly fun. Stopping this infection by carefully designing your ship is key. The layout of modules you create in the ship design screen is actually going to create the 3-D world your character will be running through. All modules, corridors, and rooms have the above the deck room, and underdeck crawl spaces. Stuff can be crawling, growing, and spreading under the decks unless you take precautions to stop it. You can place portable gun turrets and forcefield barriers to control the spread. You can climb down into the underdeck spaces and run through them shooting growths, tentacles, bugs, etc. You get a motion tracker right out of the movie aliens, and if you see that motion tracker pop up it means SOMETHING is crawling around somewhere. Gotta find it and kill it. If left unchecked it will destroy whole parts of the ship. Later on you can build a hanger deck where you'll have a shuttle that can land on planets. You'll mine raw resources, find and extract plants, and find unlockable upgrades. You can bring along clones with your to do some mining and provide cover fire. Wherever you land you will be attacked. Relentlessly. Hordes of insects, and human aliens will attack you. You harvest resources, run back into the ship and take off. Whenever your shuttle docks there's a chance you had hitchhikers, and you'll have to blast whatever creepy crawlers just infected your hanger deck. And even later you can build a "ship assault" room. This is a teleporter room that lets you board and search derelict ships. Once again, these are other colony ships that failed. They can be filled with hostile portable gun turrets, creeping fungus, and alien creatures. The first derelict I went to was covered wall to wall in fungus. Just... everywhere. Gross. The second was mostly a ghost town, some fungus, some damage... but no people. The 3rd was a nightmare. Huge fleshy growths that split open and spilled out creatures covered in barbed tentacles. Other pods disgorged humanoids that looked like they were made of fire and that could shoot fireballs from their hands. Fireballs that did frightening amounts of damage. The motion tracker would light up and show a dozen blips all moving towards me. I'd have to retreat into dead end rooms and pick them off as they poured through the doorways. The reward for scavenging these ship are blueprints for entirelynew technology, new rooms, new personal weapons, and general resources that the ships crew had found or researched. The other rewards is genetic information. As you kill various aliens you harvest their dna. It can allow you to start splicing it into human dna to make stronger, faster, smarter races of crewman. The baseline humans you start with have less the half the possible max for intelligence, and about 1/3 the possible max for "resistence" (which is HP). When I blasted the barbed tentacle creatures I got eventually collected enough fragments to unlock an alien ability called "harm touch", which is an AOE attack. But some of these alterations come with costs. You can literally create races that don't breath normal oxygen atmosphere, and you'll have to slow shift your entire biosphere to support this new race. I am just starting to wrap my head around WHY i'd want alien crewman in the first place. This is all just scratching the surface of this game. It's incredibly ambitious, and worth the time buying if on sale (I paid about 9 dollars for it on sale). Once you get past the learning curve it can be very addictive.

I’ve really enjoyed my time with Genesis Alpha One so far – the mix of base-building, exploration, and survival is unique and engaging. The loop of expanding the ship, cloning crew, and dealing with threats keeps the tension high while still rewarding creativity. That said, after about 7 hours, I can really see how much this game could benefit from a multiplayer or co-op mode. Managing the ship, exploring planets, and defending against infestations could feel even more dynamic with another player. Teamwork could make base management smoother and exploration more exciting, while still keeping the difficulty balanced. Even something simple like a 2-4 player co-op experience – one person focusing on building and resource management while others explore planets or handle infestations – would add huge replay value and make the game appealing to a wider audience. Overall, it’s a solid and addictive experience, but I feel multiplayer could take it to the next level and make Genesis Alpha One a long-term staple in many people’s libraries.

April 2025

Got to say; i am pleasantly surprised here. The execution is a bit clunky, the game feeling very indy in quality, but not vision. This is a game that i can see people who enjoy lots of progression and exploration sinking at least a solid 10-30 hours in. But do keep in mind, what you see is what you get. A slightly jank and clunky solo adventure. My only regrets is that this is not multiplayer, and far more vast in scope and depth. Not to say its not a very fun and worthy game, but i'd love to see this concept taken to another level. I feel if some one out there made this idea into a truly well funded and well developed reality, this would have chance to 'break the internet'. As is; its clearly a passion project of some one. And it shows. :)
