13 itemsAbout the Game
Enter a brutal post-apocalyptic world adapted from the visionary universe of the metal band Voivod. In this action-adventure Metroidvania, you’ll battle biomechanical horrors, explore shifting landscapes, and piece together a reality that’s rapidly falling apart.
Story
You are the Voivod, a warrior lost in a nightmarish wasteland of nuclear devastation, mechanical horrors, and shifting dimensions. Your body is constantly mutating, and in the process, you have lost your mind. Now, guided by your disembodied consciousness, Nothingface, you must recover fragments of your memory scattered across this surreal world. Only when all pieces are found can you hope to escape this cosmic horror.
Explore war-torn landscapes, infiltrate cybernetic fortresses, and battle against twisted creatures drawn from Voivod’s intricate mythology. Each environment and enemy is crafted to reflect the band’s unique sci-fi aesthetic, immersing players in a journey that is both chaotic and exhilarating.
Key Features:
Fast-Paced Run-and-Gun Combat – Shoot, slash, and blast your way through hordes of cybernetic abominations and intergalactic warlords.
Metroidvania-Style Exploration – Unlock new weapons and abilities to navigate a fractured reality and uncover hidden paths.

A Retro Pixel-Art Aesthetic – Gritty and atmospheric, evoking the classic era of 90s action-platformers.
