Description

In the far future, a fanatical group of religious extremists known as the Mondites have begun a campaign of galactic conquest. Lead by the seriously whacked-out Prime Paragon, the Mondites believe in the evolution of man through machine by cybernetic implants. Unfortunately everyone they've applied their theory to so far has ended up either dead or insane. Until you came along.

You are a prisoner in a Mondite complex with no memory of your former life. Your body has been turned into a hideous cybernetic nightmare by the evil Dr. Mastaba. The Mondites have discovered a long dead alien civilization of unimaginable power. And to make matters worse one of the aliens was accidentally revived from its tomb and is now running rampant throughout the complex.

Bioforge is an action-adventure game similar to Alone in the Dark. It features polygonal characters over pre-rendered backgrounds, and 3D Tekken-ish combat.

Trivia

Origin started work on a special edition of Bioforge, entitled Bioforge Plus. This new version of the game had extra sections, continuing on from where the original version left off. This is the description from the Origin catalog:

The work of research archaeologists has been interrupted by the machinations of the scheming scientist who plans to use the advanced alien technology for his own ends. Only your advanced skills give you hope of survival.

As the moon, Daedalus, explodes, you discover the Black Raven - a ship sent by the Ministry of Security to spy on the Mondite base. It's going to be that kind of day - it's a good thing you're still angry. The adventure is far from over.

Features:

  • Automatic Tracker - shows locations of most enemy lifeforms
  • Better Energy Source
  • More Powerful Weapons
  • Improved Combat
  • New, Superior Ship
  • Gauntlet Feature


Unfortunately, Bioforge didn't sell as well as EA wanted, so Bioforge Plus was cancelled. I'm not sure how near it was to completion, but I remember seeing some screenshots which looked pretty cool. It's a real pity - I think all the Bioforge fans would've liked to find out what happened next in the story :(
