BioGun

Even though twin-stick metroidvanias tend to be not my cup of tea as fiddling with one stick is already too much for me, I massively enjoyed completing this one over its 20 hours play time (96%). The game is drawn beautifully if you like these comic-style colourful MV variants and it has lots of fun upgrades, which come early and often. Backtracking is ok, the map is AWESOME, with upgrades allowing you to show secrets and collectables on it. Bosses tended to the difficult in the beginning but not later on, as the game allows you to grind for more health midgame. There are accessibility "cheats" in case difficulty is too much for you (great!), but they disable achievements (not so great). Some achievements for 100% are too grindy for my taste but otherwise this is a great game and an underrated gem. Just a shame the devs do not develop a successor but something completely different. I hope some day there will another MV from you guys! :) Thanks for this one.

Probably one of the saddest cases of "It doesn't work on my pc but I would love to play it" Due to how this game works... It just doesn't it runs very low FPS even when having a beast of a computer and it saddens me that I cannot run it or even have a chance to experience it. I do not know why the game doesn't run well but just a heads up that it has good gameplay and great OST but I just can't run it.

게임을 다 끝내지는 않았지만, 올해 재밌게 플레이 한 메트로배니아 게임들 중 하나입니다. 단점이라면 엔진 특성인지 방광 맵에선 프레임률이 하락하는 퍼포먼스 문제가 있습니다. 적절한 코믹 요소가 있어서 좋았고, 이 게임 후속편도 나왔으면 하는 바램입니다.

好玩，很有创意，除了偶尔有点小bug之外是很优秀的类银

BioGun is a very large scope Metroidvania that looks like Hollow Knight but biology related at every turn. It has its own unique spin on the Metroidvania, adding fun mechanics and twists. There's a lot of experimentation with combat mechanics, fun cosmetics to unlock, and a variety of weapons to play around with. You get the fun platforming and combat feel of Hollow Knight, but without the intense and punishing difficulty. Death isn't the end and you don't really lose anything. There is a very...very large map. I'm only 7 hours in and I keep discovering more areas. I think I might have found the general shape of the whole map by now, and it's a lot bigger than I was expecting for something made by two people. Very impressive, and well done. The story seems intriguing, and I'm loving this mix between biology and anime in a 2D Metroidvania. The characters all seem to have different personalities, and pretty much everything ties into the main theme of the game. Nothing really seems out of place and the immersion is great. There are lots of comical moments and sometimes the characters even react to what you do outside of dialogue. I will say some of the story moments made me a little uncomfortable ([spoiler] like when boogers are kissing each other [/spoiler]), but for the most part it has been fine so far (and I'm really sensitive to that kind of stuff). There are definitely some bugs in the game. The developers have tried squashing many of them but were starting to run into limitations of the game engine they are working in. There hasn't been anything terrible yet, and bugs aren't very common. Considering the size of this game and the incredibly small development team, I would say that's a welcome surprise. Overall, BioGun is a really enjoyable experience for a variety of gaming skill levels. It's a charming and thoughtful game that really ties the story and gameplay together well. I'm excited to see how the game continues from here. Give it a go and help this dog feel better while saving dogkind!

100% RECOMMEND WITH ALL MY HEART. This is one of the BEST Metroidvanias I've ever played. It also just so happens to be one of the most unique and original mvs on the market. The story, world building, unlockable moves, artwork, platforming, and combat are all top notch and combine to form one of the most fun metroidvanias you'll ever play. I honestly cannot believe this isn't listed up there with the likes of Hollow Knight by the majority of fans but it belongs right under it imo. The ONLY issues I have with the game is the difficulty could stand to go up a notch on some of the bosses and there I encountered a handful of bugs that half of which caused me to have to turn the game off. The other half of bugs were fixable by hitting the start button to kind of reset the games state I guess while still playing. Then I just shot my blaster and moved around and was fine.

Wow!! What a game, indeed worthy of much more attention. Had a blast with it, the overall package is quite a ride. Very much recommended for those who enjoy this type of games. To me it’s up there with the very best, no need to mention their names. BIOGUN it’s a hell of a game 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
