Biomutant was first shown back at Gamescom 2017. They wanted to release it shortly after the announcement, but instead, the game was postponed several times. The new project of the studio Experiment 101, consisting of former developers of the Just Cause series, seems to have been too ambitious.
However, four years after the announcement, the game was finally released on May 25 on PC and consoles.
Officially, the Biomutant genre is a post-apocalyptic fantasy action game with RPG elements, so it has a level system, and many characteristics expressed in numbers, and enemies and character skills.
The world of Biomutant is a post-apocalypse where humanity was wiped off the face of the earth. The planet is now inhabited by animals that can talk and collect firearms from metal, and who are good at martial arts. You will need to play for one of these animals.
In the center of the plot, there is the Tree of Life, which dies because of the mysterious poisonous oil that has appeared from the ground. The tribes living near the Tree are trying to deal with the misfortune, but they all have their own methods.
The protagonist plays a key role in this story. He has to save the dying Tree, and also unite all the tribes or support one of them, destroying all the others. The plot must have at least two endings – the developers talked about this at the presentation.
Biomutant's open world design is a successful mixture of fantasy and post-apocalypse. Ruined cities and war robots exist here next to magic and giant monsters roaming the locations searching for prey.
To explore other regions, you will need a vehicle – submarines, horses. Exploring the world, the character finds various objects, and can also create them himself.
The initial configuration of the hero determines his appearance and starting equipment, as well as certain abilities. The choice of characteristics will also affect the appearance of the hero.
There are also a lot of battles in Biomutant. Monsters are on every corner, the map is large, and you have a vast arsenal and many skills that can turn the lives of opponents into hell. The Biomutant combat system allows you to rely on different types of weapons.
Biomutant looks very nice. A beautiful, colorful and grotesque world, a mixture of post-apocalyptic and fantasy, an exciting combat system, and variability of history – all this sounds like the components of a successful game.
