Geneshift Overview
Geneshift is a GTA2-inspired shooter that merges battle royale and roguelite mechanics. Shoot, loot and drive through an army of enemies as you level up your mutant powers and try to survive. Play singleplayer or ride shotgun with friends as you fire bazookas, plasma balls, spike traps and more!

Strategic Skills System
Create complex skill builds as you gain experience and permanently level up your mutant. With over 30 skills you can enjoy all play styles - deflect enemy bullets with Force Fields, go rogue with poison and invisibility, or bounce bullets off walls for that perfect sniper shot!
Chemical Base Building
Place hidden chemicals to gain secret benefits, like spying on enemies and teleportation. Your chemicals are invisible to enemies but there's a really cool twist; enemies can still destroy them if they correctly deduce where you have placed them. Lots of mind games!

Development History
Geneshift was first released back in 2009 under the name of Subvein. It was later renamed to Mutant Factions and now finally - Geneshift. With the help of the community it was developed as a hobby until 2014, when Geneshift got Greenlit on Steam. At this point I quit my job and spent two years living in Peru to work on it full-time. It's cheaper there (and sunnier!) and this let me stretch my savings long enough to finish the game properly.
Geneshift launched on Steam Early Access on May 23rd, 2017 for both Windows and Linux. If you want to write about or stream Geneshift on youtube or twitch then please do! Monetization of your videos is perfectly fine. Go nuts! There is a demo available on Steam too. Hit me up on Twitter @Geneshift if you have any questions.
