Our take on BIOS
The emphasis on fast completion times gives the game a focused loop of planning, execution, and improvement. That focus leaves less room for slower-paced play, while cooperative sessions are limited to the stated 2–3-player mode.
What is BIOS?
BIOS is an asynchronous competitive first-person shooter about completing simulated hostile environments as quickly as possible.
Players combine shooting skills and strategy, then refine their approach to improve completion times and compete on leaderboards. The Early Access version includes three modes: STRIKE and ANOMALY for single-player play, and COOP for 2–3 players. It has 8 environments and 34 map challenges. The objective is to reach the end alive and as quickly as possible. Play centers on completing challenges, developing strategies, refining skills, and comparing times on the leaderboards.
