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. Features Fight—or play as—the Shroud, a brand-new, multiplayer faction. Command new units: the Humans’ Valiant, the Beta’s Squall and the Goo’s Siphon. Explore an additional story arc with “Grey Goo: Emergence,” and discover the Goo’s true intentions. Take on the Shroud in Mission 16, “Herald of Silence." Sharpen your battlefield tactics in the single-player campaign, or join the fray on Steam.
