GENESHIFT GTA2-Inspired Shooter Launching May 23

After eight years of development, Geneshift is launching on Steam May 23, 2017

Drive like a maniac in this top-down shooter with GTA2-style vehicles and MOBA-style skills. Not only can you commit drive-by shootings and blow bad guys up with car bombs – but you’re able to teleport, go invisible and launch fireballs at them, too!

As you play you’ll gain cash and level up your mutant – unlocking extra powerful weapons, vehicles and skills. In the co-op campaign, these help you save the world from a zombie outbreak. In PvP, they just give you more fun ways to kick ass.
