Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be challenging. Whether it’s eating well, exercising regularly, or getting enough rest. And it certainly doesn’t help when your body’s immune cells have to battle endless waves of bacteria and viruses! Well, maybe that last part isn’t exactly true, but it’s the core concept behind Bodyguard: Cellwars, now available for purchase!
As you’d expect, Bodyguard puts you in the role of immune cells, letting you choose from three different characters, each with unique strengths and weaknesses, before blasting through invading pathogens. You’ll navigate through the body, eliminating wave after wave of enemies while upgrading your skills along the way.
The game is designed to suit a range of playstyles. For those who enjoy a structured experience, there’s story mode. If you prefer endless action, jump into endless mode. And for the toughest immune cell veterans, hardcore mode awaits!

With a bit more educational content, Bodyguard could easily fit into resources like BBC Bitesize. While the concept is unique, the gameplay itself offers a familiar run-and-gun experience—for better or worse.
Priced at just $3.99, Bodyguard delivers a solid package featuring multiple modes, upgrades, abilities, and playable characters. So if you’re searching for a lighthearted twist on the genre, with a narrative that delves into the cellular level, Bodyguard might be just what you need.
