About This Game

Boid is real-time strategy at its most primal. No funds to manage or infrastructures to build. It’s a kill or be killed battle of rapid decisions to dominate the gene pool.

Kepler 42-C. A faraway planet of little significance. At least, it was until a malfunctioning drone crashed into its ocean, forever altering the course of life and inciting a battle to claim the planet, one microorganism at a time.

Claim vital positions to replicate and mutate into seven specialized units, such as the fast and vulnerable Scout, the explosive Kamikaze, and the life-draining Leach. Press your enemies for weaknesses, outflank their ambushes, usurp their bases, and amass an unstoppable swarm to overpower your adversaries.

This is more than a battle for your survival. It’s a fight for all life to come.

  • Fight to claim the planet in an 10-hour, single-player campaign
    Available as DLC, the single-player campaign takes you on a journey to claim the planet and teaches you everything you need to succeed in multiplayer. Only the single player campaign is paid in BOID - everything else is free.

  • Create the perfect skirmish with bots and four difficulty levels.
    Bots allow for easy practice in multiplayer matches.
  • Go online with ranked, unranked, and private 1v1 matches.
    Featuring a full-on league system
  • The more you play, the more your list of Friends & Rivals grows.
    BOID keeps track of your opponents for easy challenging
  • Create custom maps to share, and subscribe to your favorite creators.
    A fully functional level editor allows you to create your own multiplayer maps

  • Color blind mode for heightened game accessibility.
  • Super easy to pick up gameplay, no base building to worry about - it's all about mutation and classes
  • Rock paper scissors style class system. Do you go for the heavy/strong/slow units or for the fast/weak/rush ones?
  • Twitch Integration for multiplayer matches

Oh god, it's so boring. Here is the enturety of the game: 1. Wait for units to spawn 2. Select units and send them to a circle 3. Now you have multiple spawn points, send those units to other circles 4. Repead ad naseum

It's an early access game. But it has a strong core mechanics. There are a lot of space for improvements. But the core right now is just good enough for you to take your times with your friends until the improvements get in. 2v2, FFA, map editor, replays, workshops.... so many things to come..... Definite buy. great addition to the RTS genre. It's even chep right now in Early Access, so I guess I don't have a reason to not recommend this game.

The early access bit: TL;DR - It's an excellent game, well worth the price of admission. Everything seems to work, and work well. This is a very simple to learn RTS, with good level design (thus far), a pretty good base mechanic, and a brilliant art style (literally and figuratively, the lighting is a bit intense). The basic premise is that you control a constantly-spawning highly mutable lifeform, and by taking and holding various points around the map you gain access to different sets of abilities for your units. Basic units spawn at a constant rate, and the biggest challenge lies in determining what to turn them into and where to attack. Resource management boils essentially down to "how long do I wait before expanding", which is a simple enough thing to measure. The good stuff: As I've said, the art design is excellent. Seriously, everything is pretty clear in its function at a glance and the game looks gorgeous. It's got a really intuitive interface. Even novice RTS players ...

This is that fun game that you have that you really enjoy, but finding someone to play with takes some real patience. Cant recommend buying this one right now because of that.

Minor problems: *Because of the size of the arenas some times you need to zoom out. While you can zoom out, you CAN'T control your units during zoom out, so you have to constantly change to zoom out and zoom in which is uterly useless and broken function. *The Hard AI is retarded at most I beat it on all maps under 2-5 minutes so you are unable to even practice with it but then again developing smart AI is hard for the unskilled programmers. Major problems: *When you play VS players on some maps there are freeze spells that can be cast at the moment your unit step on them (gain control). Those spells are AoE and because your units move as swarm they can easily get frozen resulting in your army been wiped, just because you was not the first to rush this spell. Because of the nature of this spell "INSTANT", because of balance issues on all games in the world there is COOLDOWN or CHANNELING TIME. This is because this is game changing ability so the other player can respond to this high t...
