Genesis Core

Genesis core brings loot and crafting, with a deep and endless progression system, to the auto-battler genre. Build your squad and customise your soldiers with powerful gear and circuits - crafted by you! Push your build, gear and strategy to the limit as you continue to explore hostile planets and face off with increasingly dangerous bosses.

Inspired by the loot, crafting and character customisation of Path of Exile and Last Epoch, Genesis Core is about creating powerful builds, and then finding out just how far you can push them.

Craft circuits and bionic parts

Define build your own circuit network. During crafting you shape the your gear using wafers, lenses and other techniques to craft and refine the ability you want.

Overhaul your bionics with cores and affinity flux, then route nerves through their modifier nodes. Your choice of route changes the part you create, giving you another way to tune the build around its abilities.

Combine planetary styles

Nanite, Mecha, Demonic, Organic and Arcane styles give parts and circuits distinct looks. Specialise your equipment to grow a style bonus, or combine styles across your loadout. Bring the worlds you conquer into the squad you build.

Ascend your units

Bring fully calibrated Ascendants to the next epoch transition and choose how they grow. Select a class, allocate affinity points, choose an attribute focus and pick style bonuses. Ascending a unit raises its tier, expanding its skills and the equipment it can use.

Hunt. Collect. Ascent.

• Hunt — Choose the crafting material you need, follow a trail across held sectors and defeat the quarry for its spoils. Lose along the way and the trail goes cold.

• Collect — Take a contract against a named debtor. Inspect its conditions and exact reward before sending a squad; tougher debts bring tougher rules and better rewards.

• Ascent — Climb the Proving Spire's challenges on conquered ground. Each completed step raises the difficulty and rewards. A defeat resets that sector's climb.

Build the ultimate squad

• Equip your units with powerful abilities, each with its own visuals, damage and effects.

• Build and customise every part of your units' gear to create powerful combinations.

• Pair two units and create new generations, combining their potential into something stronger.

• Keep upgrading, refining and pushing your builds further.

• Each world brings its own faction, mechanics and challenges.

• Sector and planet bosses each have their own mechanics and visual identity.
