About This Game

FIGHT THE CHAOS. OR HARNESS ITS POWER.

Drawn to a remote world, intelligent lifeforms fight for control of its resources. Here they must each answer the primal choice of life...extinction or evolution?

Grey Goo is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that combines classic strategy mechanics and a balanced combat system with an emphasis on base-building. It puts you at the center of a tactical struggle for survival—and ultimately, control of Ecosystem 9.

Take on the single-player campaign to command three factions: the Humans, masters of defensive architecture; the Beta, a proud, versatile alien race; and the Goo, an enigmatic, highly mobile life form. Or compete with any of the four multiplayer factions—including the disruptive, unpredictable Shroud.

Hate to give this game a thumbs down. Seems like a good amount of effort went into it and there are some genuinely good things it has going for it. But ultimately the asymmetrical design is just not very well balanced or thought-out. The Grey Goo is much stronger and simpler to command. And Humans have a far more difficult time expanding and gathering resources. Asymmetrical design makes sense when it comes to units and playstyle of each race, but having such disparate resource gathering methods - or perhaps more precisely, disparate building and expansion methods - it means that the imbalance is too noticeable to overcome.
