B.I.O.T.A. DEMO is available here



Pick your retro style and enjoy this ultimate run and gun throwback!

You vs. monsters

B.I.O.T.A. is a 2D metroidvania, in which you command a team of mercenaries and investigate a mining colony infected by an alien plague. Explore a pixel art world packed with mutant monsters and deadly traps. Try to survive using a multitude of guns and various crafts, including a mech, a sub, and a starship.

The best of both worlds

B.I.O.T.A. mixes the charm of retro games (including two-pixel breathing animations) with the modern-day convenience of full controller support, saving anywhere, customizing the visuals at any time, and a soundtrack so chippy that you'll want to record a cassette mixtape and listen to it on your Walkman.

Pick your retro

Craving for some old-school Game Boy esthetics? Looking for a neon-infused arcade style? B.I.O.T.A. has 54 unique 4-color palettes to unlock. Swap them anytime during your play to completely change the game’s 8-bit visuals.

Uncover corporate secrets

Take command of a team of 8 veteran mercenaries and switch between them to utilize their unique skills and weapons. Investigate the mining colony overrun by an alien plague and face 40+ horrific monsters that mutated out of the miners. Rescue the scientists, and uncover the truth about V-corp’s illegal activities.

KEY FEATURES

  • 54 unique 4-color palettes to swap
  • 8 playable characters to unlock and upgrade
  • Story campaign with two endings
  • Arcade levels where you control a submarine, destroy enemies in a powerful mech and chase starships in outer space
  • Additional time trials and target shooting game modes
  • Retro fun with modern-day convenience
  • Energizing chiptune-synthwave soundtrack


Please note that B.I.O.T.A. features in-game achievement system to reward your game skills.

Battle Toads is not a good role model

It's a cute metroidvania that leans so hard into its retro aesthetic that it becomes difficult to tell what's going on, but it managed to suck me in for a few hours, so it's not too bad. However, it's one of those games that wants to be really hard, but leans more towards spectacle and memorization than tight controls and easy-to-learn-difficult-to-master mechanics. The end game is more an exercise in frustration than especially entertaining. If you're into this sort of game, pick it up on discount.

Exploration lakes purpose

I've put this game down after exploring most of the first zone and part of the second. The rooms and layout in this game feel like they serve no purpose other than to give you more boxes on the map to visit. Fighting the same types of enemies per zone in uninteresting arrangements in each room isn't helping either. Ultimately, I felt the game wasn't rewarding to play so much as "something to do".

NO configurable keys!

Absolutely unforgivable. You can select one of 5 preset configurations, but a big FU from the developers if you desire (or you have finger/hand/wrist injuries like me and NEED) something that has been a standard feature for, what, 30-40 years of PC gaming? Cheap, stupid SOBs. Back to emulators!
