Lucid Desires Studio has introduced that their “darkish metroidvania,” Biomorph is slated to launch on March 4. Alongside the announcement is a brand new animated trailer that, out of context, tells little or no.

That’s okay, as a result of extra informative trailers have already been launched. I opened one in Steam, and after watching a little bit of it, I switched again to scripting this, and the video stored enjoying within the background. I can inform there are loads of gooey results in there as a result of, previous the midway level of the trailer, it begins to sound like somebody is consuming a can of tuna utilizing solely their tongue set to epic music.

Pointless musing apart, Biomorph seems like a fairly slick recreation within the gated exploration fashion. The massive draw is that the gooey protagonist can take the type of among the enemies within the recreation, which strikes me as a great substitute for keys and a terrific mechanic to base puzzle-solving on.

However past the standard hop-and-collect gameplay, you additionally get to customise a village. You’re tasked with rebuilding the city of Brightmoor and befriending its inhabitants. By the seems of issues, you may choose from a wide range of types for the buildings. Appears to be like mild, unobtrusive, and satisfying.

“Metroidvania” isn’t my favourite style, however it’s one which I’m no stranger to. Of the various that appear to be circling towards launch, Biomorph seems like probably the most interesting to me. One thing in regards to the visuals exudes a love for the world the builders are constructing, darkish as it’s.

Biomorph can be launched on March 4 for PC. An prolonged demo can be accessible for Steam Subsequent Fest.
