Shapeshifting Action-RPG Coridden Featured During Steam's Dinos Vs Robots Fest
Coridden, an inventive upcoming action-RPG from Sweden-based developer Aftnareld that is being published in summer 2024 by Anshar Publishing has a FREE demo next week as part of Steam's Dinos vs. Robots Fest. But if you want to play, you'll have to move faster than a Stegosaurus. .. because Coridden will go into hibernation at the end of the fest (wait. .. did dinosaurs hibernate?)
Steam Dinos vs Robots Fest features games with dinosaurs, games with robots. .. even games with robot dinosaurs! And while you won't find any robots in Coridden, you can become the dinos you defeat (and everyone knows that is way cooler than fighting a walking refrigerator). The Steam Dinos vs Robots Fest takes place February 26 at 10 AM PST (UTC-8) and runs till March 4.
About Coridden (A Game with Lots of Dinos and ZERO Robots)
Coridden follows a family of warriors who become the enemies they defeat - any enemy. If you can fight it, you can be it. Developer Aftnareld crafted every battle so you can approach it however you wish, whether you’re a formidable magic monster or a plain ol’ human. Coridden lets you nurture or neglect your human and monster skills as you see fit to create a unique playstyle all your own, combining abilities, making new weapons, and pulling off wild experimental combos in tense, real-time battles.
There’s a lot going on at any moment, but if it all gets too much for one person, you can team up with friends for four-player co-op. As Rock, Paper, Shotgun put it so eloquently in their preview, "Coridden is a druids-only Baldur's Gate 3 party." (Except you can't play "Horsey" in BG3 - and Coridden is all about the Horsey).
Shapeshifting gives you an edge outside of combat as well. Monsters come in all forms and specialties, and some grant you new skills to reach hidden areas and solve challenging puzzles. You can shapeshift at any point during battle or exploration and forge your own path through the darkness - assuming it doesn’t consume you first.
