About

"Looks well made and polished."
-Kotaku

Somewhere in the far future, mankind succeeded in building the first artificial beings from biological and electronic components.
Not surprisingly, one of their first applications were as highly intelligent battle drones. These drones are called Bionics. The Bionics constantly enhance their artificial brains by learning rapidly from all previous perceptions. Their self-awareness develops day by day. Eventually, they chose to turn against their creators.
All training rooms in the laboratory are now occupied by aggressive battle machines. Their utmost desire is to survive in all scenarios and to preserve autonomy.

Your mission is to eliminate all hostile drones fighting to keep their recently gained autonomy.
A remote-controlled drone is the only way to defeat the rebels by using two methods that go hand in hand: shooting and morphing.
Unfortunately, your starter drone is too weak to compete with much stronger opponents. Therefore, morph into more powerful drones in order to benefit from their abilities for a limited time. Here's the drawback: you cannot morph without energy packs dropped by killed drones which leads back to method one - shooting.

The game is a tribute to the memorable Paradroid.

Biodrone Battle reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
Pros:-The AI acts pretty well (too well)-Trading cards-Price Cons:-No Story-browser game optics-Frustration degree-Degree of Difficulty-lighting is just unadequate-uncreative Level design-You can no longer "joine" (Reboot) at some point Required)-No more Developer support-Soundscape is below average Conclusion: Not recommended, since the Developer had previously announced that he would fix the Join error. Nothing became of this and the Bow still exists and annoys these days. Furthermore, I do not tell the People who claim it to be like Paradroid or Hotline Miami. Nowhere Anywhere near comparable. The exposure of the Levels severely restricts any Planning immensely and prevents tactical Action.

"Biodrone Battle" is a Top-Down game that reinterprets the Mechanics of the grandiose Classic "Paradroid." In the distant Future, Humanity has succeeded in providing Drones with its own Intelligence. In the Lab Rooms, aggressive combat drones have now spread, which should be relegated to their Barriers. In order to proceed to The Annihilation of the Enemies, we can either shoot them Classically or take them over, which means that we now have the Peculiarities of the assumed unit. However, we can only act in the Form of the assumed drone for a certain Amount of time, which forces us to have to take On opponents again and again. If we are damaged, we can heal again on certain Areas of the Deck, which also proves necessary, because we only have our only life. These Mechanics already had the great C64 classic "Paradroid." With naturally simple Graphics and unforgettable Sounds, the Original Offered a tough challenge, which also had a lot to do with tactical Approach. "Biodrone Battle" does a lot of things the same, but also a lot of things different. And these Changes do not exactly improve the Successor, even if the Approaches and Ideas in themselves are quite commendable. While "Paradroid" Was an entire Ship with many Decks of Playing Surface, there are numerous but usually not very large Levels here. "Paradroid" had a small, tactical mini game to win when it took over. "Biodrone Battle" unfortunately dispenses with this nice Change. "Paradroid" was heavy, but always so fair that one remained motivated to try a new One. "Biodrone Battle" quickly becomes so heavy That you need a lot of Self-motivation. This is mainly due to the very fast Opponents who attack immediately, even if they have not yet been noticed. This is also because (like us) they can make themselves invisible for a short Time. The Opponents are quite intelligent, hide or heal themselves. But even the good AI, which is actually to be praised, leads to more Frustration than a pleasant Gaming Experience. The Graphics are quite simple but fit for purpose. The Sounds fall into the same Category. Those who have enough Frustration can have a lot of Pleasure with this little Game, everyone else will be annoyed more quickly. Rating: 6/10 Atmosphere 5/10 Story 6/10 Graphic 6/10 Sound 6/10 Game Mechanics 5/10 Balancing 6/10 Game Pass Conclusion: Good, merciless "Paradroid" new interpretation, but which does not match the ingenious original. 6/10 Overall Rating
