Good Nontraditional Older RPG
This is a pretty good nontraditional older rpg. This seems to be extremely based on Dungeons and Dragons hooplah. This is a game where you have free range to fight like an Adventure-style game instead of an RPG turn-based fighting style. That is what mainly makes it a nontraditional rpg. Also unique to this game is a weight limit on what to carry and playable characters that can create other playable characters. Well done through imagination.

Surprisingly Fun
Spiderweb Software makes old fashioned games. By which I mean that they're not 3-D video card charged mini-movies. Graphically they're stuck somewhere in the early 90's, and one would think that after playing todays more advanced games, you'd find them tedious. You would be wrong, wrong, wrong.
If you start playing Geneforge, or indeed any of Spiderweb's Games, you will look up at some point and discover that several hours have passed. These games suck you in by way of the intriguing stories and the easy-to-learn game play.
In Geneforge, you play a character who can create other, subservient creatures who will do your fighting for you. These come in a variety of types, and you have to balance and upgrade their stats as well as your own.
The story involves the rediscovery of a lost colony that was abandoned when a process for creating super-monsters was found to be uncontrolable. Naturally, somebody's found it and you've got to stop them. Or do you?
One of the great things about these games is that there are different ways the story can go. Do you want to save the world from the Ultimate Evil? Great. Do you want to BECOME the Ultimate Evil? Can do. Throughout the game you make decisions and forge alliances with various factions. And these decisions have consequences. You can make mistakes. It makes for a game that you will actually want to play several times.

Disclaimer; I'm actually friends with Jeff Vogel, the creator of these games, but make no mistake, this is an honest reveiw. I own all his games and I think they're a blast. Try one. It's free.

Excellent Story Telling and Addictive Game Play
I played all of this game and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Role-playing games with a good story but don't care much about having the latest graphics.

My favorite thing about it was the story telling. I quickly got sucked into the world and characters. I had to make moral decisions throughout the game. I really liked that the game was flexible enough to let you be good or bad and that the choices you made effected the ending. I really agonized over what faction of the serviles I would side with. I ended up playing the game several times just to see what happens. The combat system (making killer pets and some magic) for me was pretty easy to learn and I even felt pretty powerful by the end.

My least favorite thing about the game was the color choice for the interface. But I found I learned to ignore it quickly. The game's graphics are a throw back to the day when icons ruled the gaming screen, but I prefer a well crafted story to flashy graphics any day.

Overall, I loved this game and recommend you play it.
