Geneforge 2 - Infestation

Some minor improvements over Geneforge 1, more creations, better itemization, more spells and finally a way to spend money on something. The story was not as good as in the first game though, and while non-linear it felt way too unfocused to stay engaged.

Spiderwebsoftware games don't miss! A well done remake of an old classic that is just as fun to play nowadays if you're a fan of CRPGs.

It's super old-school, but with just enough modern conveniences to make the focus on the fun old school parts, not the annoying old school parts. Absolutely an acquired taste, to be sure, but boy howdy have I acquired it.

Ran flawlessly on Linux. It's been awhile since I've played Genefoge 1: Infestation and even longer since I've played the original Geneforge games, but I loved this one. I've always had a special place in my heart for the Geneforge series - II like playing pet classes/summoners, but too often the experience is underwhelming. The summons are often terrible (maybe they don't scale) or they get nerfed somehow (maybe they drastically reduce your XP, cost too much to be practical or just don't last long enough). In Geneforge, you can play a Shaper and run with a team and even end up more or less steamrolling the game (I just beat torment with a party of mostly Gazers/Eyebeasts) though you can also play the combat focused Guardian or the spell focused Agent. I don't really have much to say about the story other than it's there.

My favorite Geneforge game.

excellent story and unique mechanics

Game with a deeper story,altough compared to Mutagen it is a more complex map,if you are having difficulties with enemies being too difficult in an area,try going to another part of the map you haven't gone to

Good Story

Excellent remake of a classic game, real variety in how you can approach things and high replay value. Very immersive world and engaging plot and quests.

Great game, super cool modifications to the original. Looking forward to the next reboot of 3 and 4!
