Gears Genesis

OVERVIEW

The world as we known it was destroyed in a nuclear war. Mankind hiding in underground complexes, managed to survive thanks to new post-nuclear silicon crystals called Serikon. Machines created with this material gained the ability to evolve and became self-aware. Together with Humans they ware able to leave the underground and build new civilnization. With technology breakout and help form the machines, humanity develop implants and the ability to create new synthetic life forms. Over time, however, the machines realized that humans were unable to survive in the new reality without their assistance — and some no longer wished to help them. Society fractured into several Factions — each with its own rights and vision for the future. Choose your Faction. Dominate the Metropolis! Control the Serikon ore and lead the revolution that will shape the new order!

Gears Genesis is a 2 to 6 players strategy game where you compete for control of the Metropolis. Conquer new areas and enlist loyalists before the revolution begins — and make sure you’re the one leading the future!
