Geneshift, which is out now for Steam is an insane shooter, that take place inside an office building. You run and gun in a rather strategic place in an Isometric 2D environment and are forced to really think about what you are going to do. The enemies will learn you are there and will shoot at you with infinite bullets. This game isn’t a simple one, as the enemies really do just start shooting, and with tight hallways to maneuver, one wrong move and you will be sent back to the last checkpoint.
Another interesting thing about the game and in my opinion far harder than the shooting aspect is driving. The game literally begins with a driving portion and it is not fun. Trying to get through a small hall with a truck is no easy feat. Not to mention the fact that as soon as you get to the bottom, the other guard in the building is instantly shot. You have to also jump over this gap, and figuring out how to accelerate over it with a keyboard was certainly a new experience for me.
Geneshift is a quick and troublesome shooter, that really does make you think. You need to conserve ammo as not all of the enemies drop it, and if they do it is only 10 pieces. This game will test your mettle again and again, and make you angry in parts I’m sure. It really is a fun game however, even though it is often a game that lead me to want to quit. Geneshift is also one of those interesting games that you can play online with other people. There is a whole mode dedicated to playing online. Once you beat the solo story you can head online to face foes and team up with them too. Online is totally brutal and really not worth playing unless you are sure that you can handle it.
With many different game modes playing multiplayer should add even more replayability to this game. It really is interesting seeing what games actually use multiplayer and this one certainly deserves it. Try to last against people who are better at the game than you and see how long it takes you to ragequit!
Geneshift is available now on Steam. If you have the will, you will certainly be able to find out what is going on in this building. All you gotta do, is move slowly and conserve ammo and you will do alright.
