Geneforge 5: Overthrow Released

The conclusion to the Geneforge role-playing game series has been released and is available for Mac and Windows, according to a note from Spiderweb Software. Geneforge 5: Overthrow, the final game in the long-running series from Spiderweb and creator Jeff Vogel, wraps up the story arc of the Shaper, a world where a secret sect of wizards use the ability to create new life to serve themselves.

When their servants rebelled against them and fought the wizards the world suffered for it, ravaged by the battle and the struggle for power. The story of Overthrow plays out the final chapter in the series with one lone warrior (you) having the power to tip the balance of power to one side or the other.

Like previous games in the series, Overthrow features an open storyline that is affected directly by what the player does, leading to a dozen different endings. Players can help the rebels or the wizards to beat the game, use brute force to accomplish their goals, be diplomatic, or cast off responsibility altogether and earn their fortunes anyway they see fit..

Key features include five different factions to interact with, 80 different areas to explore, lots of magic spells and skills to customize your character, unique items and weapons to collect, and plenty of other options to choose from as you play.

Geneforge 5: Overthrow is available for both Mac and PC and a playable demo of both versions is available on the game’s official web site.
