Geneforge 5 is a good RPG. If the looks do not turn you off you should try it.

This game is relatively close to classic Fallout games. It may also give you Gothic or Risen vibe, or even Ultima if you remember those. You control a single character with a lot of stats and skills. Some of them are used for interacting with the world in a peaceful way, like Mechanics or Leadership. Most are about combat. Combat is spiced by shaping creatures. The story revolves around the world where you can use magic to create and control living beings and you can do it to beat your enemies. You can create new ones for each specific encounter, you can have a single old experienced creature, you can mix those approaches or do not use creatures at all.

The world is atypical, there are no elves and what looks like dragons are human-shaped sapient creations. The story revolves around your character interacting with various factions in a middle of a war of sapient creations against their masters. Various factions see different ways for resolving conflict - like banning all shaping or gently controlling it or what have you.

Spiderweb games look dated and you might think they'd have typical problems of those indie games. Overly complex mechanics, verbosity, bad pacing and obscure quest solutions. But no, this game feels like a big budget RPG, just without a big budget. Text descriptions are spot on, just enough for you to imagine the scene, never outstaying its welcome. UI is not so good, but bearable. I recommend only playing this game out of series because this one is the first supporting widescreen and custom resolution which might be very important for your experience. You might still want play on lower resolution like 768p on 1080p screen. You don't need to know anything about previous games: there are numerous connections to them but the story is self-contained.

Most imaginative and unconventional RPG series (with a compelling story-line) that Spiderweb Software ever made. Could never get into Avadon, sadly, because it's not Geneforge, and I want Geneforge.

Would recommend playing from the first game if you're new to the series (there are a couple of recurring character names and a few references to past events, though it doesn't matter *too* much since you play as a new person in each sequel); note that the graphics of the older games are a bit dated but if you're playing any Spiderweb game, then you're only in love with the storytelling - and you probably don't care too much for eye candy anyway.

The Geneforge remake (if developer Jeff has it planned, which hopefully he does) couldn't come sooner, have been waiting for it for some time now.

Also, we are developing a scenario editor (fan-made, unsupported by Spiderweb) for Geneforge 5 and will update here and in the Spiderweb forums when done. We don't expect it to be quite as fullly fledged as Blades of Avernum (in which you can create your own scenarios from scratch complete with quests/dialogue) at least in the first release, but it should be close.

This game and in general the entire series is highly intruiging because it has a great and quite fluid story. It has certian setbacks though, the general quality of graphics is noticably not great but the game makes up for this in the quality of the story. The general feeling of making gigantic monsters tofight other monsters and then you make even more monsters, just feels good in away. I would recomend this game hily for anyone who enjoys a good storyline rpg game.

Great storyline, old school combat/graphics style. Difficulty in torment is legit and with 5 main factions and a myriad of choices, lots of replay value.

Gameplay is not simply just about slaughtering everything in your path - stealth and non-combat skills will be needed to clear the game.

Monsters don't respawn which means that your experience is limited (in particular, your minions get xp when you get xp); but this is only an important factor (getting minions early means they can level up more by the end game and are thus stronger than 'fresher' ones) in the harder difficulties.

Two minor complaints:
1.) I can't move the screen easily (arrow keys only) since you're usually clicking with your mouse to move the party and its awkward to have the left hand on the arrow keys to move the screen around
2.) A 'solo' style is virtually impossible on the harder difficulties (even with all your points in solo stuff like spells and stats rather than creations)

Awesome game, and great bang for the buck!

this is a great rpg. I love spiderweb's games. It is a turn based rpg, multiple endings and quests are pretty much up to you which ones you take or refuse. You also get a choice of which group to help or even leave one -once you join. It might seem simple but its actually very chalanging. You cant just hack and slash you way throught the battles. You need to use stratigy. Also alot of choices of what class to play and skills to invest in and stats also. The world is huge. The story line is well thought out but not confusing. The game plays well. No glitches, lag, crashes or freezes. The graphics are spiderweb's classic style and I love them.

The very first game I played was geneforge 1 and once I did I knew I wanted to keep playing video games. The series as a whole Is wonderfully amazing, almost endless possiabilties, its own lore, challenging bosses, limitless followers if you spend points in shapping. Eahc game seperatly however is quite a diffrent story. Like any gamer I have ones I like and ones I wouldn't be to upset If I never got to play again. Lets start with the first 1; Very involving, you can get attached to your first creature if your not careful, the story is awesome, I recomend reading anything you find for back story, and always avoid anything you don't think you can take. The second on; It's not the best geneforge game but its not the worst in my opinion, didn't play much of it but what I did play I didn't care too much for. The third, By far my second favorite one, I could go on and on about everything I loved in it. The 4th could care less if I was unable to play, Its good and leads you up to the 5th but its tedious and irrating at the best. The 5th is the best in my opinion. Great graphics, new montsers, new creature to shap, wide ammount of areas to explore, many differnt paths to chose, my only probelm with it are the plants that stun you and the white beasts in the middle of the map. Back to the series as a whole, my only 3 issues with it are 1.) Turn based combat annoys me now adays hard for a game to impress me with turn based combat. 2.) Oppenets having laser sight and can see you even behind them quite annoying had to redo missions a lot. 3.) While albeit an old game I would love voice acting. It would just add so much more to the games. In all the geneforge saga is one of if not the best game series' I have ever played in my life.

All 5 parts are very enjoyable and you can get the saga for the price of each game so you may as well get all 5 and play them in order to get a feel to the story, the only drawback to this is 4 and espcially 5 go back to the issue of balance of power you can have up to that point, since stuff generally doesn't respawn, you can only get so powerful by a certain point and be stuck. It's still a worthwhile series and collectively should take about 80-100 hours to beat the entire thing, double that if you want to explore the splitting plotlines.

From best to worst (mainly in terms of difficulty) 3, 2, 1, 4, 5.

The 90s never ended for Spiderweb Software. Who wanted to move to third person morality-by-the-numbers when we could have stuck with isometric many-shades-of-bastard? Geneforge 5 knows which is best and ends up making one of the finest RPGs released in years.
