Jeu abandonné par son créateur dans un état d'incomplétion évident perdurant depuis des années. Fuyez absolument.
Wow, what an awful game. I played the original Ultimate Domain so much when I was a kid that I have all 5 maps memorized. But if you're expecting to wage war with old Karnak and Sun Tzu, think again. After 15 minutes, I got in a loop of collecting unlimited resources without ever being allowed to capture standards to expand my empire, or ever given new settlers to fill my empty houses. I never caught a glimpse of any other civilization and was blocked from making multiple workshops or inventors, so inventing crawled along at a snail's pace. There wasn't anything to do but watch animals move back and forth as my villagers continued stockpiling huge amounts of gold and resources to no purpose. The only thing to break up the tedium was random attacks by brigands. To add insult to injury, the graphics and gameplay feel like just a cheapo Chinese mobile strategy game, and the game inserts all sorts of juvenile sound effects and dialogue such as burping, farting, sex noises, diarrhea noises, etc.
A very original game ! I didn't find a style close to this Genesia Legacy. You build your city, from nothing, in a pure natural landscape. And nature is not so friendly! You have to assign farmers, woodcutters, gather water, in order to survive, and grow. You have also research trees to evolve, and, for example, resist to diseases, build vehicles, trade, ... But, the game is difficult, in the sense of "punitive" : you make a strategic mistake, and your village will die from disease, or starve in winter, etc... So, the idea is : you won't win on your first try. Make a game, learn why you failed. Restart, and integrate you experience in your next play. Just like an action-platform game, you can lose, but applied to a pure strategic game : this is unique at this level of "punishment". And where the game succeeds : it is great fun. It is really great fun to fail because of a strategic mistake we missed. And try again. There is no frustration, and for me, that means it is indeed a very good game. Completely different from Civilization, in every way (so, it is something new, and not a clone). I HIGHLY advice this game. You won't find another one similar.
I'm very happy with this reimagined version of Genesia because that's exactly what it is. It's Genesia from 1993 given enough updates to make it fresh but not too many to turn it into something else. Plus points... No egg timer. Turns last as long as you need which is crucial because.... The world is hard. Forget wishing for the enemy AI. The world itself isn't easy to thrive in. There's a lot to balance. Environment, food, water, exploration, expansion and scraping together some kind of economy by making settlers work hard and varied tasks. The pace is also much slower than the original. Expect to develop slowly and under constant threat of collapse. Combat is nice and simple too. Cons... none 😀 While I look forward to the updates post early access I'm in no hurry. This is a really good early access game.
It takes a while to learn and get used to all the rules, which may be frustrating during the first few hours, but after overcoming that learning step (trial and error, similar to Banished), Genesia Legacy is fun and original. This early access is stable and new features are added quite frequently. Really looking forward to seeing the next updates.
MENU glitched out on me. These is no help to be had, game is abandoned. Company email is a Gmail account.... yeah ... its nice if you played the original, however this remake is not done and I guess never will be. NOT WORTH 20 BUCKS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL!!! SHOULD BE $1 retro game that never got finished. It is STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL IN EARLY ACCESS. 2017-2024, IT IS STILL EARLY ACCESS. No updates this version of the game will never release.
More than 3 months without any update. The game is not playable at this current state. I loved the old Genesia and this one has huge potential. My expectations were high but now i need to say i'm completly disapointed...
This game is abandoned and I implore everybody not to buy it. The dev just gave up on it and claims it's in a 'playable' state. It's not.
Excellent jeu de stratégie, qui demandera de sortir votre cerveau. Difficulté au rendez-vous, il vous faudra plusieurs parties pour comprendre les différents mécanismes du jeu. Si vous voulez un jeu qui sort de l'ordinaire : n’hésitez pas !
une fois les rouages du jeu en main c'est vraiment du plaisir, hate de voir les prochaines maj
