Basics

What is Augmented Reality?

To Augment comes from the original meaning to add or enhance something. In the case of Augmented Reality (also called AR), graphics, sounds, and touch feedback are added into our natural world to create an enhanced user experience.

In this sense, Augmenting Reality is all about enhancing the real world with the capabilities of computer generated information. AR is rapidly growing in popularity because it brings elements of the virtual world, into our real world, thus significantly enhancing the things we see, hear, and feel.

When compared to other reality extending technologies, augmented reality is situated at the midpoint; a perfect balance between the real world and the virtual world.

What kind of game is Genesis?

Originally Genesis was a trading card game. However, we felt that this medium of delivering gameplay was insufficient for the vision of Genesis. Today, we have expanded upon the traditional TCG gameplay style - evolving it's core concepts to harness the power of cutting-edge modern technology whilst retaining the best foundational principles of TCG gameplay.

We have changed gameplay so that movement and attacks are controlled with onscreen joysticks and buttons. Also, all combat systems are realtime and dynamic. At the core of the Genesis concept is the fusion between a dark & distant sci-fi future; and a gruesome arcane past. The current version of Genesis AR TCG is an arena style combat game that positions the player at various scales of gameplay perspective.

Is Genesis Multiplayer?

Yes, the Genesis Augmented Reality Trading Card Game (AR TCG) fully supports cross-platform multiplayer duels of upto 8 simultaneous players.

In the near future we will be deploying an update that supports rapid, hierachy based gladiator tournaments - with cash prizes up for grabs. Stay tuned!

Payments

Doesn't buying cards make it pay to win?

Nope, having all the cards only gives you access to all the combat styles - It certainly doesn't make you any better - To win, you must be more skilled than your opponent. You must train both your cards and yourself if you wish to become the Ultimate Master.
