Gameplay

Dark Genesis allows you to choose between idle or active gameplay. It has two basic modes, which are battle and base building. During battle mode, you can choose to be idle, which can come in handy if you’re multitasking on your computer. Keep in mind that when the boss battle arrives, you have to be active and manually click specific buttons to defeat the boss.

Dark Genesis features a story, but it isn’t that coherent and complete. The story can be viewed more like a scenario that you and your heroes have found yourselves in. In Dark Genesis, you are thrown into a world at war, and you need to build your team of heroes and demigods to fight back.

At the start of the game, players are given a very basic set of heroes. But over time, you can unlock or purchase better heroes, which are marked as elite and have incredibly high stats that give you an edge over your opponents. The game has many different heroes and demigods to unlock, and the more popular they are, the harder they are to access.

You need to complete a party of five heroes to really start playing the game, which isn’t that hard to do since it is an idle browser game. Each hero has unique stats such as attack, rarity, defence, and health. Just like most MMORPGs, these heroes are then categorized into MMO class archetypes that anyone familiar with the format will know. Heroes are categorized into healer, tank, and DPS archetypes, which are known all throughout the world of MMOs.

On top of the classes and archetypes, these heroes also have elemental qualities. Heroes in the game can represent either fire, water, lightning, wind, or earth elements. Some elements have an advantage over others such as water and fire or lightning and water.

Hero progression is an integral part of Dark Genesis and is something you need to start grinding from the very beginning. This will give you an edge over other players as you progress in the game and will allow you to build a competent and strong party of heroes. During battles, you can receive gold and diamonds, which can then be used to upgrade your heroes.

But just like a lot of the browser-based MMORPGs, there are in-app purchases available that can make progression faster and allow you to build stronger parties without having to grind the game. And if you can build your team to be one of the strongest F2P parties in the game, that’s already a huge achievement!

Game Modes

Dark Genesis has two distinct game modes; battling and base building. These two modes offer hours of fun, and each has its unique qualities that qualify Dark Genesis as one of the top browser games you can start playing today.

Battle Mode

Battle mode in Dark Genesis is pretty standard, as with most browser MMORPGs. This is the game mode you can play idly, which can come in handy when you need to grind while doing other tasks on your computer. During the battle, your party of heroes has to fight back against the enemy through a series of levels that get progressively harder.

You can leave most of the level on idle mode, letting your party hack and slash their way through mobs of enemies and collecting gold in the process that you can use to level up your team. However, when you get to the boss battle, you have to click the challenge and fight the boss manually. When fighting the boss, you have to click on your hero’s skills which offers more active gameplay. After defeating a boss, you reap the rewards before heading to the next level to do it again.

Dark Genesis also has PvP battle modes, which you unlock after playing it for some time. The arena is where you can challenge other players to battles to gain more rewards. This mode is entertaining as it offers a more interactive experience.

Base Building

Aside from battling, there’s a base-building aspect to Dark Genesis. You have to level up your home base in this mode, which is basically the Sky Castle map. Your task is to develop and rebuild the mighty citadel on the island. This mode progresses with your heroes. As you level up in the game, you unlock and gain access to new facilities and infrastructure.

These buildings offer upgrades to your heroes, which you use to gain an edge over your bosses and other players in the game. Base building is essential in unlocking all the fun features of the game, such as the PvP mode, which only gets unlocked once you build the Guild War Monument.

Final Word

In this day and age, browser games are some of the most straightforward ways to have a good time on the internet. Finding the right one to play can be hard because of the wide variety of choices available.

However, Dark Genesis stands out amongst the pack as one of the top browser games out there. It offers idle gameplay, which allows you to level up while doing other things on your computer and has more active aspects, allowing players to immerse themselves in the fantasy world.

While it may lack some story, Dark Genesis is still a really fun game that you can play casually on your browser.
