About Boid

✦ AI summary

Lead microorganism swarms across an alien planet in this stripped-down real-time strategy where rapid tactical decisions and unit mutations replace resource management. Dominate through positioning, class specialization, and split-second combat choices in a pure, kill-or-be-killed battle for supremacy.

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.

    Bots allow for easy practice in multiplayer matches.

This so much fun! I could play this all day long. If the devs are listening, the hints during game load are too fast, I have not been able to read a single one!
