Cooperative creature-riding action RPG Coridden will launch for PC via Steam and GOG on January 29 for $19.99, Anshar Publishing and developer Aftnareld announced.
“Coridden offers a fun twist on shapeshifting: defeat a beast to be able to transform into it. The change is smooth and effortless, and it gives you access to a whole new set of abilities,” said Anshar Publishing community manager Feanen in a press release. “But the true essence lies in Coridden‘s combat—discover fun elemental combinations, stack effects, and enjoy action-packed skirmishes against packs of beasts! Additionally, Coridden encourages players to embark on adventures together with friends, to explore locations overtaken by wildlife, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover hidden treasures. Give it a try!”
