Biomutant

Biomutant is an open-world, post-apocalyptic Kung-Fu fable RPG. The land is being ruined by a plague, the Tree-of-Life is dying, and the Tribes are divided. You explore a world in turmoil and decide whether to unite the Tribes and save the New World or lead it toward a darker fate. A Storyteller narrates your journey, while your actions and choices determine how your story of survival ends.

Combat and progression

Combat combines melee, shooting and mutant abilities in a martial arts-style system built around movement and agility. As you progress, you learn new Wung-Fu combat forms from masters you meet, adding options to your fighting style. You can also alter your genetic structure, changing your appearance and attributes. Bio-contamination can cause mutations such as Turtleform and Mucus Bubble, while exposure to radioactivity in old-world bunkers unlocks psi-mutations including telekinesis and levitation.

Crafting and equipment

You can craft weapons by combining parts into one- or two-handed slash and crush weapons, revolvers, rifles and shotguns. Modifications include cork-screws and battery-powered chainsaw modules, and bio-contaminated sludge vials can also be added to your combat arsenal. Some characters you meet can craft equipment such as bionic wings and a jump-pack, or modify your Automaton, a scrap-toy sidekick.

You can choose your gear as well as your weapons. A gas mask and oxygen tank help you explore the Dead Zones, thermos-resistant clothes are suited to cryonic areas, and protective gear can be used against bio-contaminated creatures.

Explore the world

Travel through the dying wildland and the tunnels and bunker networks beneath it, then venture into the mountains or archipelago. You can explore on foot or use a mech, jet-ski, air-balloon or area-unique mounts. The world contains discoveries, mysteries, creatures and unusual characters.
