Gameplay
The game is a 3D shooter, with the player piloting a space ship from a third person perspective. There are five levels, each with several planets for the player to explore, with a boss at the end of each level. The player's objective is to recapture lost pods spread out across the different worlds. The player is accompanied on their adventure by a green female computer guide named Skylar.
Reception
Electronic Gaming Monthly gave Cybermorph a 5 out of 10. They commented that the graphics are moderately impressive but criticized the lack of music, the annoying computer voice, and most especially the dull nature of the gameplay. GamePro gave it a mixed review as well, citing an intriguing gameplay concept but repetitive action, blocky and untextured graphics, and "a deterring level of challenge". Cybermorph was reviewed in the March/April 1994 issue of Game Informer by Andy McNamara (The Game Hombre), Paul Anderson (The Pro Player), and Ross van der Schaegen (The Rebel Gamer). Each of their scores averaged the game to an 8.5/10. Edge gave the game a score of 8 out of 10. The title received a "Game Of the Month" award from Gamefan and received a sequel, Battlemorph, on the Atari Jaguar CD system.
