- Bodyguard: Cellwars now available for iOS purchase

- Battle swarms of bacteria and viruses playing as immune cells

- Enjoy fast-paced run & gun action across story, hardcore and endless gameplay modes

Maintaining your health requires constant effort - eating right, exercising regularly, getting proper rest. But imagine if your immune cells literally had to blast their way through invading pathogens! That's the creative premise behind Bodyguard: Cellwars, now available on iOS.

In this unique action game, you control immune cells defending the body against microbial invaders. Choose between three distinct cell characters, each with specialized abilities, then shoot your way through escalating waves of enemies while upgrading your cellular arsenal.

Bodyguard caters to different playstyles with multiple modes: Story Mode offers narrative-driven progression, Endless Mode provides limitless action, and Hardcore Mode challenges skilled players with intense difficulty.

The Science of Self-Defense

With slightly more educational content, Bodyguard could easily fit alongside BBC Bitesize materials. While its cellular warfare concept feels fresh, the core gameplay follows familiar run-and-gun mechanics that deliver solid entertainment.

Priced at just $3.99, Bodyguard packs substantial value with diverse characters, upgradable abilities and multiple gameplay modes. If you're seeking an unconventional twist on action games with literal microscopic combat, this might be your perfect immune response.
