Bio Inc. Redemption is a very good game. I’ll just say it. It has an 89%(Very positive) on Steam. And really, it deserves it. So I’m going to give it a Recommended with an eight back-end score. I don’t think its a Must Play for a few reasons, but it is well made with lots of little details that make it neat. The game is divided into two sections: Life and Death. In the life campaign, you seek to save your patient by diagnosing and treating diseases. In death, you seek to kill the patient by evolving diseases(not unlike Plague inc). Both are fully fledged and are mirrors of each other. I’ll spend a paragraph going into each.
In the life section in Bio Inc. Redemption, you diagnose and treat diseases. To do this you need bio points. To get points, you click on white and red blood cells in one of eight different systems. The patient will exhibit symptoms, you guess which symptom correspond to which system and run tests. The tests will determine which disease you get. You then treat the disease. Both the tests and treatments require bio points. Then there are lifestyle factors which will help the health of the individual systems, like stress management and yoga. Finally, there are intensive care boosts, like a lung transplant, that’ll give a large health boost to a system if low enough.
The death section in Bio Inc. Redemption is the exact opposite. You evolve diseases, making them worse. There are risk factors, like obesity and smoking that degrade the health of each system. You also do things like made the doctors bad so the treatments take longer or the patient waits longer to go to the doctor. Plus there are cool random events, like the wheel of STDs, which will give a random negative modifier for a time.
Bio Inc. Redemption’s cool features and detractors
Bio Inc. Redemption has lots of cool little visual tricks. Like your patient will actually do yoga or get obese if you choose those things. Your systems will also visibly fade as they get worse. You can choose a male or female patients, and even name them. On the flip side, it is silly that a patient can get diabetes, have a stroke, ovarian cancer, and renal failure and not instantly die. Plus, getting bio points is fairly monotonous. Fortunately later on, you can auto collect them,
Ultimately, I liked Bio Inc. Redemption, and will play a bit more than I needed to in order to review. The campaigns are pretty long and the missions vary in objectives. There’s also a sandbox mode if you want. As I said, this game will get a Recommended with an eight back-end score. While I don’t feel this is a Must Play, it a worthy successor to path worn by Plague Inc. series.
Overall: Bio Inc. Redemption is a very good health simulator, where you can save your patient, or kill them!
