Careful strategy will be key to navigating this treacherous world.
Bash, slide, shoot, and embody the many creatures you encounter. Players can customize their builds to suit their playstyle, utilizing a variety of skills to tackle puzzles, unlock hidden areas and face powerful enemies. Explore ancient ruins, forgotten settlements and sprawling underground complexes while unraveling the mystery of a long-lost cataclysm. Master biomorphing to conquer every challenge and uncover the secrets that lie ahead.
BIOMORPH is now available on Steam, Epic Games Store and PS5 for $19.99 USD, and will be launching on Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X/S in early 2025. The game is available in English, French, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese.
