"This is the most technically impressive student game I've ever seen. " - UCSC showcase judge review

Genesis Zero is a combat focused roguelike that takes place 2 years after the downfall of a misguided A.I. super intelligence. Explore the Scrap yard, and breathtaking procedural City and Refinery areas on your journey to become a powerful cybernetic badass.

With 30 types of unique modifiers and 10 abilities, Genesis Zero offers thousands of different potential build combinations. There are 5 unique enemy types and a final battle that will push your mastery of combat and item synergies to the limit. This is a game that keeps you coming back for more. A single playthrough will only give you small slice of what this game has to offer.

Interactable characters and objects populate the procedurally generated world, offering helpful items and abilities and guidance… for a price. You never have full control over what items you may get on a run, but you can still steer your build towards your own personal playstyle. Crit heavy build? 3rd bullet+ Precision build? Cooldown reduction + High Ability Power build? There is no “Correct” way to play Genesis Zero, we leave that completely up to you.
