While this is a personal plot for the character, the general plot is about saving the world from dangers. The game gives the player the mission of exacting revenge on Lupa-Lupin for the pain he caused. The avatar’s mum was a famous fighter who trained the village kids in the ways of kung-fu, including yourself. As a youngster, the avatar lost both their parents to a monster that goes by the name of Lupa-Lupin. This avatar is the player’s entrance into Biomutant‘s world, giving them a backstory and a mission quickly after the bunker 101 tutorial has been completed. Classes are quite free to cross over, as they feel more like a starting build, as a lot of the abilities/weapons can be unlocked further into the game. These also change the starting stats – Vitality, Strength, Intellect, Charisma, Agility and Luck – and what resistances the character has against the land’s dangerous biohazards, radiations, cold or heat. Along with the creation, the game’s role-playing mechanics are brought into play, with six classes – Dead-Eye, Commando, Psi-Freak, Saboteur, Sentinel, and a pre-order bonus class Mercenary – available to pick that offer unique starting perks. The character creation is not deep, there are a few templates to pick from and an RGB colour slider, but do no be expecting to have the option to create some monstrosity from a game like Spore. A weird concoction of squirrel, rodent and feline that can be stretched or squished into some rather amusing physical appearances. The player gets to create one of these mutations as their avatar. The presence of nuclear waste also meant that life had to adapt to survive, and so Biomutant presents us a world where animals evolved to have anthropomorphic traits, growing into a fully-fledged civilization with their own technology and economy – not bad for a bunch of bio freaks. The lush unrestricted growth of the colourful plant life is met with areas of barren wastelands still tainted with thick oil and deprived of oxygen or infested with bio-hazardous waste that is enough to make any human grow an extra pair of eyes. The scars are still present in this post-apocalyptic land. This business had no care for the natural balance of the world and allowed the hazardous materials to seep into the lands and oceans, poisoning the planet and most of its inhabitants. A huge corporation, Toxanol, powered the world with nuclear energy and oil. Humans have been eradicated and the planet we left behind has been mostly destroyed due to environmental damage. Calling a game B-tier is by no means a negative because there are some rather memorial titles that fall into this group – Remember Me, Binary Domain, Nier, to name a few.īiomutant‘s world is one where humans no longer exist. The market is now populated by AAA-A games or indie titles, but that middle ground has not had time to shine often. Ever since the first trailer, I had Biomutant on my radar thanks to the kung-fu theme set in an open-world formula, but with no humans, instead replaced by bizarre animals, again I am into that! The main appeal, though, was the trailers giving me vibes of the older generation of games, that B-tier video game market that has faded away.
