BIOMORPH is now available on Nintendo Switch!

BIOMORPH, developed and published by Lucid Dreams Studio with support from Ubisoft, is a visually stunning 2D hand-drawn Metroidvania adventure released on April 4, 2025. Available now on Nintendo Switch, Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S—with a PlayStation 4 release coming soon—BIOMORPH delivers a unique gameplay twist that sets it apart from traditional entries in the genre.

Players take on the role of Harlo, one of the last of their kind, who possesses the extraordinary ability to transform into any creature they defeat. This biomorphing mechanic allows Harlo to absorb enemy powers, gaining new abilities essential for combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration—such as dashing, breaking barriers, and firing explosive projectiles. With its richly detailed environments, customizable builds, and deep strategic gameplay, BIOMORPH invites players to explore the mysterious world of Ilios, uncover ancient secrets, and adapt to overcome relentless foes. The game has already earned critical acclaim, including a nomination for Game of the Year at the 2025 Canadian Game Awards.

My Thoughts

Not just my thoughts! Our favorite host, Scott Clark, says, “Man, this game looks COOL!” And he’s absolutely right. BIOMORPH‘s crisp graphical presentation, combined with its gear-gated Metroidvania style and engaging story, looks perfect on the Switch and pretty darn stellar on a larger screen. Its nomination for Canadian Game of the Year only makes me want to play it more. Check out the trailer. If you’re a fan of the genre, this is a title you won’t want to miss.
