There’s also a narrator to help translate the Banjo-Kazooie-like language of these characters, which is fine, but he also comments whenever you’re in combat, which can get kind of annoying. It has all the characteristics of a story from a martial arts film unfortunately, you never feel all that invested in any of the characters and by the time you learn a little more about some of the more important ones, their arc has already ended. Meanwhile, the four World-Eaters are causing major distress to the Tree of Life, which will end up destroying the world if something isn’t done about it, but you have to decide whether the world is worth saving, and see which tribes ideologies align with yours so that you can either unite all six tribes to help, or dispose of any that get in your way. Whether you choose revenge or forgiveness is up to you. The story of your character is that when you were younger, a villain known as Lupa-Lupin, destroyed your village and killed your mother, who also happened to be the creator of Wung-Fu. Focusing more on strength and agility, my character turned out looking a little bit more like an upright version of Red XIII from Final Fantasy VII…well, before equipping some useful yet wacky looking helmets that is, but more on that later. I chose the Primal breed, because to me it was one of the least ugly looking, and resembles the cover character. Skill, and power, some may just take longer to obtain than others depending on what kind of combat you want to focus on first. While your preference may depend on your gameplay style, your choices don’t restrict you as much as they seem, as you still can use every type of weapon. For example, some have higher intellect and may be better at using psi-powers, while others have higher strength and may work best with melee-based classes. In Biomutant, you create an anthropomorphized mammalian mutant character from one of six breeds, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Does it mesh all of these attributes together successfully? Well, it depends on who you ask, but from my experience Biomutant is a decent try at combining a ton of familiar elements into something new and unique, but unfortunately has some trouble hitting those marks. But putting *all* of these things together at once? I would say the first piece of modern media to do this (at least as far as I know) is THQ Nordic and Experiment 101’s Biomutant.
Post Apocalyptic, Science Fiction, Martial Arts, Anthropomorphic Animals, and big open worlds, all of these things have crossed over at some point, from open world sci-fi games like Horizon Zero Dawn to animal-filled martial arts movies and shows such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise and the Kung Fu Panda trilogy.
Rex: "Rexes are an extraordinarily developed anthropormophic species, hybrid misfits whose DNA sequence enables them to overcome both physical and mental challenges." This species is therefore juggling between good statistics of Strength and intelligence but strongly lacks vitality (HP).* Disclaimer: My Xbox deleted a lot of my screenshots for some reason so many of these are from near the endgame or new game plus.Dumdon: "Dumdons are the least developed anthropomorphic species, a hybrid branch which compensates for its mental deficiencies with great physical strength." In other words, they benefit from enormous Strength but sin on the level of intelligence just like the Primals.
Your hero will be faster in his movements, will be able to dodge more easily, but will have fewer hits during puzzles and less luck. Primal: "Primals are a nimbly developed anthropomorphic species, hybrids that their genetic mutation makes nimble and dexterous at the cost of a less trained intellect." In a few words, choosing this species guarantees you high statistics in Agility but low in intelligence.Mercenary : A versatile class reserved for pre-orders.īefore choosing your class, the game will ask you to select your breed.Sentinel: Fights with long weapons and has good armor.Saboteur: Can equip a weapon in each hand.
