Creating Biomutant<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u2019s fighting style came part and parcel with the development of its ever-evolving central character. Often mistaken for a raccoon, a cat, and even a red panda, our hero can be all of that and so much more! The same can be said for our hero\u2019s multi-faceted fighting style! Our goal was to create fast-paced and action-packed combat with a mix between melee, gunplay, and mutation. All of this plus ease of control. We drew a lot of inspiration from traditional kung-fu, including my own personal experience. We also drew inspiration from John Woo movies and films like \u201cKung-Fu Panda.\u201d Through all of this, we were able to find our own unique kind of combat.<\/p>\n

What we call mutant ability is a key ingredient to a successful attack. Changes to our hero\u2019s physical appearance translate to different physical strengths and abilities in combat. The result is a fluid and acrobatic style. Layer on melee and projectile weapons and doing battle in Biomutant <\/em>easily differentiates itself from any game out there.<\/p>\n

The player will quickly learn that every element of this combat system is not just fun but necessary as the various attacks from the creatures in Biomutant<\/em> will consistently come as a surprise. Some will roll themselves into a ball and zoom right into the player. Some dig into the ground, some spit acid and some attacks are even more unexpected. The gigantic boss battles pack a unique attack from every boss. The player will benefit greatly from watching and learning before striking in many instances.<\/p>\n

This brings me to the benefit of pre-ordering before our game launch on May 25<\/a>! Players who pre-order will benefit from the unique combination of Mercenary perks at the start of their Biomutant<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>gameplay experience. Dual-wield as a starting ability plus additional weapons including the classic Katana and the shorter Wakizashi blades make for some great attacks on just about any opponent you will face!<\/p>\n
