Genesis Rising: The Universal Crusade is a futuristic 3D game that uses the best elements of role-playing games within the context of a fast-moving real-time strategy game. Three thousand years in the future, the human race has conquered most of the Universe. They consider themselves a divine race, and think of all aliens as inferior; those that do not obey are punished or destroyed. The dominion of the Human race was insured by organids - genetically designed organic machines, easily adaptable to any enemy strategy.
