After quite a hiatus, the Evercade’s Game of the Month is back. Let’s check out the latest title to be offered for free to Evercade owners!

What Evercade Hardware do I Need to Access the Game of the Month feature on the Evercade?

The Game of the Month feature is available to Evercade fans who own the Evercade VS, Evercade EXP or the Evercade Alpha.

Downloading a new Game of the Month will erase the previous game, and your saves with it, but there’s no reason why you couldn’t simply skip an update and the latest game if you wanted to keep your currently downloaded title and its progress.

What is Biomenace Remastered, the Evercade Game of the Month for April 2026?

A run and gun title from 1993, Biomenace Remastered was originally released with the first chapter free, and its subsequent chapters needing to be purchased. This was known as a ‘shareware’ game, and players would be encouraged to install it from any source where it could be found, including disks, the internet (yes, even in 1993!) or from friends.

There’s a bit of a nod to the game’s shareware origins with this particular Game of the Month download; it’s just the first episode, with the full game (plus an entirely new fourth chapter) available when Indie Heroes Collection 5 is released in 2027.

How do I download the Evercade Game of the Month?

On your console – either Evercade Alpha, VS or EXP – go to the Settings menu, then select the System option.

Then choose Check for Updates; this should trigger the system update which will contain your Highlight of the Month (as well as other firmware updates or fixes too).

Note that if you’re attempting this on an Evercade EXP, you’ll need to have at least 50% battery or have the console plugged in and charging.

Do also note that your system may shut down and restart automatically, sometimes multiple times, during this process.

Have faith and patience – and just wait for it to go through these steps without interrupting the process as it does this.

Where will I find my Evercade Game of the Month?

On the Evercade EXP, you’ll find your Game of the Month in the EXP menu, selected on the left hand side of the screen.

The VS is slightly different, though it’s in essentially the same place – the icon is a star, rather than the EXP option on the handheld.

In any case, if you have an Evercade VS, an Evercade EXP, an Evercade Alpha (or even several different iterations of Evercade hardware), what are you waiting for? Go and download the Evercade Game of the Month right now. You can thank me later!
