"Games which work to revive the glory days of ‘80s platformers are a fairly common sight these days, and are a logical choice of project for developers like Small Bros. B.I.O.T.A. has the special qualities that are needed to stand …"

"I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from B.I.O.T.A. Though it diverged from the Metroidvania genre in some significant ways, I really enjoyed this challenging throwback to games of the past. It marries a compelling and dark sci-fi plot with …"

"Metroid-Vania-style games are two-a-penny these days, so does B.I.O.T.A stand-out amongst the pack? B.I.O.T.A is a faithful, action-packed blast through a series of satisfying levels and cool bosses, and really, that’s all you need from these sorts of games."

"Small Bros has been able to create an excellent action and exploration game without the need for a large budget behind it. B.I.O.T.A. It mixes several different mechanics without leaving the same space theme, with addictive gameplay and adequate duration."

"B.I.O.T.A. is a short, enjoyable title. It doesn&s;t quite match the retro chops of something like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and it doesn&s;t have a massive twisting map of something like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but it&s;s great …"

"Boring unimaginative gameplay, dumb cliché plot and about the worst visual style ever, makes B.I.O.T.A. something to avoid like the plague."
