Nov. 2024

Wow, this is one of the BEST metroidvanias I've played - And mind you that I've been on this business since 1995, when I first played Super Metroid on the SNES! You can see that a lot of love went on this game, the sprites are very well animated and theres even some new mechanics that add to the genre, like a leveling system for one of your equipment pieces and a gun which has alternate fire modes. Backtracing is very good, even more so at the endgame. The music is very catchy and memorable and the bosses are all very unique and creative. Easy recommendation from me!

It's hard to describe how thoroughly impressed I was with BioGun. Let's start with Art. I've never seen hand-drawn art so seamlessly and wonderfully animated in a video game. The world itself is colorful, vibrant and beautiful - which aids in the immersion of the environment and gameplay, one of the games strongest suits in my opinion. There are lots of fun & cute character interactions, the movement is creative and satisfying, and the metroidvania elements of this game are quite well done. BioGun is a truly unique and fantastic game that I highly recommend.

Very good metroidvania with charming graphics, interesting mechanics, and a great setting. Some real difficulty spikes throughout including 1 challenge in the late game involving rocket mechanics and spikes which was so rough I bailed on it. Aside from that I missed scanning a few objects, couldn't find one thing needed for one quest anywhere, and still had a bunch of ????? missions in the mission list I couldn't find a start for. Really good fun 90% of the time I played it, thoroughly recommended.

Not beat the game yet but so far very fun. Quite fast paced. Lovely expressive art style. Fun catchy music and extremely cool concept and setting. You are playing a vaccine that needs to make his way around a dogs body parts to kill the infection in him lol. Love it. Full review will be posted when I beat the game likely later today. EDIT after completion. Pros: Great bosses Cool music and awesome setting Fun snappy pace Tons of great humour Solid controls (maybe a bit too sensitive with regards aiming using right analogue stick) Good enemy variety Cool weapon/combat system Cons: There is some stutters and bugs here and there though they are being fixed at a rapid pace. Map system gives away too much information when upgraded imo. I like being rewarded for remembering where certain things are or noting down where hidden items are but the map does it all for you here when upgraded. Many will love this but I am a weirdo who loves less handholding. The enzyme collecting got tiresome at times. I would reach a blocked area where I need a yellow enzyme to blow it up so I check the map, look where the nearest yellow enzyme is and run all the way there to grab it and run back. This happened quite a few times with the purple boost jump ones too. Having abilities that are necessary for progress be essentially consumables that you find got annoying. You can jump up through a ceiling but cannot drop down through one. Basically the game has no problem allowing you to go up but does not like you trying to go down. Holding down on the analogue stick and the jump button should allow me to drop back down imo. Overall a very good metroidvania that is well worth the price. Highly recommend!

Wasn't sure I was going to like it at first; the game was clearly a labor of love by either a first time dev or a dev who had never made such a large project, which I'm favorable to, but it definitely has some rough edges as a result. However, the dev, whether intentionally or by accident, actually fixed my biggest problem before even 24 hours had passed after I mentioned it in a post, and after that I encountered the first boss fight in *any* game I've played in many, many years that made me laugh out loud from sheer fun and creativity, and I was sold. This game has, at the very least, tremendous potential to be a masterpiece, and as long as the dev stays active long enough to give it the polish it needs it surely will be.
