About the Game
Bionite: Origins is a tactical shooter game based on vehicles. The game uses a combination of aircraft and tank physics to produce a unique gaming experience based on hover propulsion. This game is all about tactics. Gamers that want to be challenged on their ability to coordinate AND participate in combat need to check this game out. Bionite: Origins simulates a real time battlefield using a multitude of vehicles and characters. Players can participate as Commanders or Pilots. Commanders can: build bases, manage resources, command troops, coordinate and issue orders, assign assets to other players, and participate in battle in first person. Commanders can also use a "command view' that is an articulating satellite view for quick and efficient base building and executing battlefield tactics. Pilots can drive various vehicles or play as a character, with a seamless transition into or out of the tank cockpits. Pilots do not have any commanding abilities however wingmen can be assigned to their squad by the Commander. Once a wingman has been assigned to a Pilot, that player can issue orders and command only the wingmen in their squad.The game is designed for online head to head games of 1 vs 1, however games can consist of up to 8 player on each team. Also included are a set of singleplayer missions that introduce new players to the command system. During the missions players can learn more about what Bionite and Spectralite are and how to use them during a multiplayer match. The missions also teach players how to issue commands to the various vehicles to set up bases, defend assets, and attack enemies. This game is not for people with short attention spans!!

Officially the game left development long ago. But there are a lot Bugs present. Some menu can not be accessed (sound settings). Menus can only be closed with the back button and no other way to return to previous menu. In game in the excape menu most of the button don't do anything. Unable to scroll through missions. And there are many other bugs. The game deffinitely does not feel finished. Can only hope the development does still continue.
As others have said, this game unfortunately seems to have grinded to a halt since 2018? Developers obviously lost interest. It's a buggy mess that is COMPLETELY unplayable at this stage; controls are wacky and nothing seems to work correctly. Don't buy it.
I think everyone was hoping something great would come of this spiritual successor... it's a shame. Oh well, Battlezone 98 Redux and Battlezone: Combat Commander are on Steam now at least.
*EDIT* in response to developer:
I fully understand that game development is very difficult, especially when starting out or with only a small team, and as such, many projects take years to develop.
HOWEVER, "Having patience" and "Nothing worth having is easy to get" are not excuses for the fact that the game has been in development for 6 years, and in that time, actively sold on steam under the "Early Access" banner in an almost unplayable state, with basically 0 community engagement for the better part of 3 years. I wanted this project to succeed, don't get me wrong, it just clearly hasn't been handled well enough, though I am curious to see where the game is at now that it's "fully released".
*EDIT* 2 after attempting to play the game as of release:
Unfortunately, while slightly more playable now, the current "Beta" release is still incredibly buggy, unpolished and the whole UI and command scheme is not intuitive at all. At least the main menu screen is promising.
Developers response for accountability:
"took longer that we thought but the game made it to full release in Beta. Game like this are extremely difficult to make and dont just make themselves when you snap your fingers. If you dont have the patients to wait for something that worth waiting for then youll never have anything of worth. Nothing worth having is easy to get!"
wth did i get this for omg.. not even close to being done.. unplayable.. not close enough to bz1 at all sorry..still havnt got the mouse sens done yet??? dont get
Haven't played much yet, but i like it so far. :)
