In addition, Grey Goo has relaunched as the Grey Goo Definitive Edition. This updated title, on Steam now for the permanently reduced price of $29.99, includes the original game, the previously released DLC campaign – “Emergence,” the “Descent of the Shroud” DLC, and Grey Goo’s expanded, complete soundtrack.
Grey Goo unites the best elements of classic RTS design with modern gameplay and production enhancements. Emphasizing tactical base-building and unit management, the game now features four distinct factions, each with their own units, structures and tech trees, across a sprawling single-player campaign and four-player local (LAN) and online multiplayer. Grey Goo has been actively supported since launch with DLC, free maps, terrain editor upgrades, a spectator mode, replay mode and dedicated multiplayer servers.
Grey Goo Definitive Edition is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB.
About This Game
FIGHT THE CHAOS. OR HARNESS ITS POWER.
Out of the ashes of war, a tentative truce emerges between the Humans, Beta and the Goo—but peace doesn’t last long. Ecosystem Nine finds itself thrust into turmoil once again with the arrival of a destructive, alien life form known as the Shroud.
Grey Goo is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that combines classic strategy mechanics and a balanced combat system with an emphasis on large-scale decision-making. 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.

Reviews
“What I can say now is that Grey Goo is a superb, cheerfully inviting real-time strategy game. It’s one I can recommend to both fans of the genre and people who have felt shut-out from RTS gaming these past few years.”
PCGamesN
“Grey Goo understands why old-school RTS games were so much fun, and it’s a great expression of that classic design.”
PC Gamer
“Grey Goo is likely the best traditional RTS not made by Blizzard in the past five years.”
