Retrovibe and developer Small Bros. revealed a brand new 2D Metroidvania game this week in the form of B.I.O.T.A., coming to PC and consoles. This game already looks like an absolute gem as it feels like a throwback to early Game Boy titles from the early '90s, but way more hyper and designed better. This sci-fi adventure will have you taking on aliens at a mining colony as a group of ragtag heroes from the future have arrived to change history and prevent a new invasion. The game is currently being planned for release in Q4 2021, but for now, enjoy the trailer and the story info we have for you here.

In B.I.O.T.A., take control of a commando unit sent to investigate a mining colony that ceased all communication. Survive in 10 completely different environments packed with mutant monsters and deadly traps with the help of a multitude of guns and various crafts, including a mech, a sub and a starship. It's year 21XX. You command the Gemini 2 team – a commando unit made up of tough war veterans commissioned by the V-corp, a mega mining corporation. Your task: shed light on strange events that are happening on Frontier Horizon – a small isolated asteroid squeezed in between Mars and Jupiter, and housing a mining station owned by the V-corp.

A new biological organism recently found on the surface of the asteroid, known as "the agent" is able to interact with every element of an ecosystem and change it at its will, taking full control of the organisms. Most of the mineworkers have mutated into horrible monsters, and the scientific team who made this discovery has taken refuge in the tunnels below Frontier Horizon. Take control of the Gemini II squad by choosing your favourite hero from 8+ and swapping them as needed during this adventure. Explore the sprawling Gemini complex, now home to hostile alien life forms, a multitude of trap-filled corridors, and use all the tools at your disposal – including a bipedal fully-armed mech, offensive submarine and a starfighter class spaceship, among others.
