Geneforge 5: Overthrow is the conclusive installment in the Geneforge series, offering a glimpse of the Shapers' universe. Players can traverse a vast post-war planet, construct their army of intimidating creatures, and take a side in the conflict to lead them to triumph.
The story revolves around the Shapers, who have the power to create life in any form they wish. Their ability to create living tools, resilient plants, and monstrous creatures that obey their every command allowed them to rule the lands unchallenged. Anyone who dared oppose them was quickly and brutally destroyed.
However, their creations eventually rebelled, and working together with humans, they stole the secrets of the Shapers and created their own armies. This new army was stronger and more savage than anything the Shapers could have imagined, and soon the war between the two factions reached a gruesome stalemate.
As a brave warrior, you have the power to turn the tide of the war. Will you help the rebels overthrow the Shapers, or will you aid the Shapers in regaining their power? The choice is yours.
Geneforge 5: Overthrow allows you to choose among five different factions, each with its own beliefs, cities, and quests. The choices you make will shape the world, and the game boasts dozens of different endings. You can even choose to slay your enemies or use stealth and diplomacy to outwit them.
There are many paths to victory in Geneforge 5: Overthrow, and the game's storyline is engrossing. However, if you prefer, you can simply wreak havoc in the game's world. The game offers lots of replay value, and prior experience with the Geneforge series is completely unnecessary.
