"Former AAA Devs' Metroidvania: A Highly Anticipated 2024 Release"
Lucid Dreams Studios, a game development studio formed by former AAA developers, is set to release Biomorph, a Metroidvania game featuring a "Hollow Knight meets Kirby" monster mash formula. The game allows players to control a character named Harlo, who can morph into various creatures, each with unique abilities. The game's extended demo showcases intuitive controls, punchy combat, and a unique biomorph mechanic, while the studio has deliberately moved away from the Soulslike label to avoid setting up unrealistic expectations about the game's difficulty. Biomorph also features a settlement system akin to Animal Crossing, adding an extra layer of depth to the game.
