{{Main|Geneforge (video game)}}
''Geneforge'' is the first game in the series. It was released for Macintosh on December 12, 2001, and for Windows on March 19, 2002. The game engages the player into the origins of the Shapers as well as an introduction to the series as to the ''Geneforge'' itself. The player assume the role of an apprentice Shaper who is cast away on an island abandoned, or "barred" as the plot calls it, by the sect 200 years prior. The island contains groups of the Shapers' creations, who have formed their own ideologies regarding the sect. The player must escape the island, after dealing with the forces at work to steal the Shaper secrets that were abandoned on Sucia Isle long ago.

===Geneforge 2===

''Geneforge 2'' engages on how the tumult of the Geneforge influenced the Shapers and their creations, and takes place in an isolated mountain valley (revealed to be located in southwestern Terrestia in the final game).  The game engine remains essentially unchanged from the original ''Geneforge''. ''Geneforge 2'' offers a number of changes and additions over its predecessor. Three new creations and several new spells are available. In addition, the player can persuade some NPCs and unaligned monsters to join their party.

===Geneforge 3===

''Geneforge 3'' deals with the fallout of the previous games as the battle lines are drawn, and takes place among the Ashen Isles. The Geneforge game engine has been revamped in this sequel, debatably improving gameplay in some instances and making others more cumbersome to deal with. No new creations or spells are available, however a number of different features have been added, for instance, two NPCs (Alwan and Greta) who will join the player's party and a new forging system, allowing the player to create powerful artifacts or enhance existing items.

===Geneforge 4: Rebellion===

''Geneforge 4: Rebellion'' picks up eight years later at the height of the rebellion against the Shapers, and is set in the east of the continent of Terrestia. Unlike the previous three ''Geneforge'' games, the player is no longer a Shaper, and is not restricted to the original three classes. Both of the player's companions from ''[[Geneforge 3]]'' (Alwan and Greta) have grown up and are now leaders of the two rival factions in the game (the Shapers and the Rebels, respectively). The player can choose from five separate rebel classes, including playing as a servile. The resolution in ''Geneforge 4'' is considerably larger, using a bigger map and smaller icons, increasing the player's overview. The graphics are improved, with better animations and cut-scenes than the previous three games. The sounds and gameplay system of the game however, remain unchanged.

===Geneforge 5: Overthrow===
{{Main|Geneforge 5: Overthrow}}
''Geneforge 5: Overthrow'' is the final game in the ''Geneforge'' saga and takes place near the end of the war, about 4 years after the conclusion of ''Geneforge 4: Rebellion''. Players may choose from between the three Shaper classes, as well as the six rebel classes. The graphics are improved in numerous aspects, with better animations and cut-scenes. The plot is more akin to that of ''Geneforge 2'' in that there are multiple factions that the player can join, whereas in the third and fourth games, there are only two major factions. The Player must choose between the five factions and decide for themselves how the saga will end.
