Not fun for one. And two how do you release a game and not even have an options menu, except for "coming soon". This is defnitely not even close to being finished.

About This Game

Genetic Disaster is a cooperation action game with an appealing accessibility.
Play alone or team-up to 4 friends, on couch coop or through Internet, pick a character and try to run away from the mad mansion! Each of the 12 levels are procedurally generated. Hordes of enemies are waiting for you! Call your friends for help, but be careful, the mansion will adapt, for better or for worse.
Upgrade your hero at each level, to create your own gameplay style or to combine them with those from your mates: Do you need a tank or a berserker? It's up to you!

- The game will entirely adapt according to the number of players
- Online and oncouch cooperation multiplayer, from 1 to 4 players
- Levels are procedurally generated
- Background and characters hand painted
- More than 75 powerful and crazy weapons
- 4 uniques characters with special abilities
- Upgrade your hero over the levels with more than 50 mutations
- Controls especially designed for keyboard/mouse and gamepad

If the enemies will do anything to take you down, the mansion is as much hostile. Your progression will affect the entire level with huge mutators. Keep an eye on projectile on fire, explosives barrels, activation of frendly fire, and many more ways to cooperate! Kinda.

Mutations are powerups and abilities you can put on your character. They can be looted during any run you make. You’ll be able to activate it before every game thanks to the new resource, crystals. You’ll find them in chesters or on enemies… Explore every inch of the map and discover more than 30 mutations!

Stool wars is a Pvp arena for 2 to 4 players. No guns, only stools, explosive barrels and boost. If the cooperation is painful during the main game, here is the best place to settle scores and blow off some steam.

Should be early access. Unfinished, buggy, crashes every other time you connect with friends. Unbalanced, one really good character. Totally unsure how to even beat the first boss :D. Enjoyed playing until we got locked out of end of level door. Much like enter the gungeon. Look forward to a complete game someday.
There is a big problem of resolution to fix. Still looks like a funny game. (solo games are quite anoying after a while) resolution problem: https://www.noelshack.com/2017-44-3-1509492894-bug.png
This game is a disaster. Genetic Mutations are random drops in the game and I never encountered even 1 of them in over 2 hours of play. Maybe should have made it guaranteed to get one during the first run or something? Spinning robot bird thing charges into you and stuns both you and itself. You have to mash E on the keyboard or A on the controller to break the stun. Sometimes the bird doesn't stun itself and you just get perma stunned until you die... Rooms lock when you enter a boss room or various challenge rooms. Sometimes these rooms fail to register that they have been completed and you get locked in and have to quit the game...
Genetic Disaster is a great couch game. Especially if you're looking for a game to spend time cooperating (or betraying) your friends. The different characters are well rounded with each their specificities. There are a lot of cool weapons to discover and play with. I didn't encounter any game breaking bugs tho I did have a few minor audio issues. I would recommend this game if you're looking to have fun with your friends !
At the time of this review, there is no options menu and you cannot rebind any keys. "It's ok" you think to yourself. "The developers wouldn't do anything too crazy, like make the "use" key E in a WASD game." Except, they did. Did you want to move to the right while picking something up? TOO BAD, KID. I'm willing to revisit this game on sale for $10 or less once it has, at the very least...an options menu...Until then, no go.
Honestly, even through there are some bugs... I have to admit i have a lot of fun with friends! Buy it ewe
Very nice with friends !
I have loads of fun playing Genetic Disaster in co-op. Characters are great and there is a tremendous amount of weapons. The game is not finished yet, some parts like audio require a bit more love, but overall it's already pretty polished. It's a fun couch game, I recommend it.
(Video version of the below review.) https://youtu.be/U0FmAxWBoJgGenetic Disaster is a fun dungeon crawling rouge lite not dissimilar to Enter the Gungeon. The game touts itself as more of an action party game, but especially when playing solo it really feels much more in common to the aforementioned title. I enjoyed my time with the game even more then expected, as I felt that this genera has been pretty heavy handed in its offerings the last few years. What surprised me here was just how fun the game was to play, and while a bit easier than some of the other heavy weights in the same vein as this one, I found its pace and action to be more relaxing and enjoyable. I would really like to see a mini boss character on the boss "stage" of each level, but the game is still in early access so I am happy to wait and see what direction the game evolves toward. The core gameplay is solid though, and offers the perfect platform for forward progression and refinement. I love all 4 of the charact...
