Ravenage Video games and Dapper Journey have introduced the launch date for Biogun, a microscopic exploration platformer coming to PC on April 16.

BioGun is billed as a twin-stick shooter Metroidvania the place you play as a vaccine-fighting a “determined battle” inside a canine. If it’s something like my canine, it was in all probability consuming fowl poop once more. Your implausible voyage takes you “from the depths of the bladder to the pulsating coronary heart.” Past traversing the insides of a canine, you can too full side-quests to assist cells which are in want.

Hear, that is essential. Canine are getting worn out by a virus, and this vaccine (that means you) is the one factor that may cease it. Nobody desires to reside in a world with out canines.

Though it refers to itself as a twin-stick shooter, it’s not Metroidvania Smash T.V. – or Smashtroidvania, as I’ll now check with it in my design doc. It’s nonetheless a sidescroller akin to Gunbrella. I’m digging the artwork model. I discover that loads of 2D video games, after they don’t select to go along with pixel artwork, can typically look quite flat and bland, however BioGun has a pleasant, energetic, colourful model to it. Hopefully, it could actually reside as much as the intervenous antics of Rex Ronan: Experimental Surgeon.

If you wish to give it a attempt forward of time, a demo – cleverly named BioGun: Scientific Trial – is on the market proper now.

In any other case, BioGun can be launched on PC on April 16, 2024.
