Biomutant Could Be The Next Big Hit

It was August of 2017 when the world first learned about Biomutant's existence, a new open-world RPG with mutant rodents, other furry creatures, mechanical limbs, martial arts, lots of guns, melee weapons, robots, steampunk vehicles, gadgets, clan wars, and giant monsters spreading corruption. These are not even all the things included in the game, but they go to show just how ambitious this project is.

Despite Biomutant being in development for many years now, this unique IP gives fans of many genres and differing franchises hope that it's going to be good. Biomutant also finally has a release date, which is May 25, 2021. And with its arrival inbound, it's easy to see how this game could really be the next big hit.

Biomutant's gameplay footage felt to a lot of gamers out there like a combination of many beloved series, all in one furry title. People who have played any Devil May Cry game even for the slightest amount of time will know just how reminiscent Biomutant's combat system is of the series, while fans of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will not fail to recognize inspiration from its open-world elements. Boss battles in Biomutant also seem to be based on those of another successful franchise, which is Monster Hunter. Although not limited to this, it seems these boss battles feature gigantic creatures resembling real-life animals with a twist, including a monstrous sea turtle the size of a skyscraper or a colossal Cerberus-like beast. Taking down these behemoths as a tiny mutant is eye-catching as well.

Biomutant includes tribes, too, as part of its story. When dealing with the tribe lords ,players will also have a choice of allying with them and mending the bridges between all factions for the greater good and saving the Tree of Life, or they can wish to go out of their way to bring them all down in big, messy fights. Another thing players can expect to do in Biomutant is establishing lasting relationships with NPCs that, in the end, become followers and mercenaries, much like the companions in Skyrim. All these aspects are reportedly elements that will alter the story, or at least have some minor impact over its course, opening up or closing paths based on the choices. Biomutant sounds like a great game for players who love to make choices that actually matter, with new playthroughs capable of becoming completely new experiences to live.

Even the game's setting is unique, yet it bears those elements of familiarity that make people feel comfortable. The world is a post-apocalyptic one, though, which probably will attract fans of other popular sci-fi RPGs like Destiny 2, Outriders, Mass Effect, Fallout, and more. The game seems to be including, at least to some degree, jumping puzzles and capturing beasts. Again, this combination of elements from multiple genres can be the catalyst for greatness, thanks to the large amount of players Biomutant can indeed attract.

As expected, with Biomutant being a role-playing game, it borrows some character customization and character creation components from classic games within this genre. One of the most obvious ones is Dungeons and Dragons, whose factors Biomutant uses in terms of stats. Characters in Biomutant have six attributes, similar to classic DnD, which are Strength, Vitality, Charisma, Intellect, Agility, and Luck. Players will also have plenty of options to customize their characters' appearance as they see fit, but this comes at a cost.
