Geneforge 5: Overthrow Released:New series, hurray!
It has been a long road. From the forgotten shores of Sucia island to a secret rebellion brewing in the southern mountains to a cataclysmic war ravaging all of the known lands. At last, the time has come. Someone must win this war. It will be up to you to decide who. The Geneforge Saga comes to a close.
Geneforge 5: Overthrow is set in the land of the Shapers, a secretive sect of wizards with the ability to create new life to serve them. Then their servants rebelled, and their whole world slid into ruin. Play a lone traveler in this strange land and fight to bring an end to this war. End the reign of the Shapers. Or, if you choose, join them and destroy the rebels once and for all.
Geneforge 5: Overthrow has a huge, open storyline. You can choose to serve one of five different factions, each of which has its own path to bring the war to an end. There are dozens of different endings and paths to victory. Help the rebels or fight them. Kill your opponents or use stealth and diplomacy. Focus on the storyline or simply seek wealth and carnage. No matter how you play, Geneforge 5 offers an epic adventure with plenty of replay value.
