  • gameplay
    83 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this game is highly praised for its innovative shapeshifting mechanics, fluid combat, and engaging co-op features, allowing players to seamlessly switch between human and beast forms. While the game offers a variety of customization options and encourages exploration, some players noted issues with repetitive visuals and certain mechanics that could be improved. Overall, the gameplay is considered fun and rewarding, making it a strong entry in the action RPG genre.

    • “There are upgrades for all weapons and armor, and you can respec your skills at any time to try out new builds and new types of gameplay.”
    • “The shapeshifting mechanic is hands down one of the coolest features I’ve seen in an action RPG.”
    • “The gameplay feels pretty fluid and swapping forms doesn't take long, making it easy to swap mid-fight.”
    • “Overall a pretty fun game, but it has problematic game mechanics making it significantly more annoying than it needs to be.”
    • “The story is rather boring and obvious, the quests are cringe, and there are quite a lot of bugs, especially involving the jumping mechanics and falling into cliffs. Some quests are bugged, and the energy depletion mechanics are not okay the way they are, as quite often there is no damage caused because the energy is depleted.”
    • “Most quests feel tedious as the game offers no quest helper-like mechanics, but I guess some may like that even more.”
  • story
    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and well-structured, while others criticize it for being predictable and lacking depth. Many appreciate the unique premise and character development, but note that the dialogue and quest guidance could be improved. Overall, the gameplay mechanics and cooperative experience often compensate for the story's shortcomings, making it enjoyable for players despite its narrative flaws.

    • “The story is surprisingly engaging, and I actually care about the characters and their journey.”
    • “Blending the gameplay of an ARPG like Diablo, the story of Horizon Zero Dawn, and a creature design of Monster Hunter meets Jurassic Park, Coridden delivers on various fronts with great visuals, a decent combat system, and many customization options.”
    • “I had it on my wishlist for several months and was hoping it would be a fun action-type game, but in actuality, it's a very well-designed action RPG with a ton of customization options and a very well put together story with voice acting.”
    • “The story is rather boring and obvious, the quests are cringe, and there are quite a lot of bugs, especially involving the jumping mechanics and falling into cliffs.”
    • “The story was okay, until it started heavily railroading me and making the characters act out of character.”
    • “Most quests feel tedious as the game offers no quest helper-like mechanics, but I guess some may like that even more.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their unique art style, blending traditional and futuristic elements, and are described as visually appealing with vibrant colors.

    • “Love the game! The combat, the talent system, the shapeshifting, the graphics style—everything is awesome.”
    • “Graphics: 10/10 - crispy clear and beautiful even at medium level.”
    • “I will say that the visuals can get kinda repetitive, and the story is predictable, but the gameplay alone makes it worth the time.”
    • “Ultimately the devs care about this game and it will continue to get updates and not disappear, but I don't think the game's name and main banner graphic is helping (first impressions, and the main thing Steam users see in the game list when searching).”
    • “Again, you won't mistake this for a big budget game, as graphically it's fine, but nothing to write home about, and voice acting is sparse with some curious voice direction (potentially AI driven or enhanced, but I am not well versed enough to say for certain).”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally well-received, with players noting smooth performance and intuitive gameplay, especially at ultra settings. However, some users have reported occasional stuttering and frame drops, particularly during travel moments, suggesting room for improvement in frame rate consistency. Despite these minor issues, the performance is considered good for the engine used.

    • “Surprisingly good performance for the game engine used compared to other games that use the same engine.”
    • “It runs smoothly at ultra settings, gameplay is intuitive, and the morphing between human and beast form is fast, making it easy to transform mid-combat in order to utilize both forms, each with their own energy pool.”
    • “The game runs smoothly and was great, really fun and very well made!”
    • “As for improvements I'd like to see in the future, general frame rate performance would be appreciated, but this is by no means a deal breaker as it does not affect the overall experience too much.”
    • “There is some stuttering, though.”
    • “I've also experienced a few minor stuttering issues and frame drops on my RTX 3070.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with distinct soundtracks for different environments that enhance the experience. While some players appreciate the dynamic and enjoyable nature of the music, others feel it can be too subtle and occasionally overshadowed by combat sounds. Overall, the soundtrack is considered good but may not always stand out prominently during gameplay.

    • “The environments are distinct, each with their own soundtrack, and offer breathtaking views at times.”
    • “I don't have anything that bothers me so far, the combat is smooth, the music is dynamic, and the gameplay is what I expected it to be, so it's very enjoyable.”
    • “Nice soundtrack.”
    • “In my opinion, it's a little too subtle and I often found the music overshadowed by the sound of combat.”

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is a blend of nostalgic, old-school charm and unexpected comedic moments, particularly through its unique mechanics like player mounting and amusing transformations into various beasts. Players find themselves in both hilarious and chaotic situations, such as being unexpectedly turned into a dinosaur or being playfully tossed around by creatures, contributing to a lighthearted yet thrilling experience. Despite some unfinished elements, the humor adds a refreshing layer to the isometric RPG genre.

    • “Some places it even has old school PS2 levels of funny.”
    • “The other nice parts are the graphics, the simplicity of gear and its upgrading, and the funny situations that sometimes occur with the transformations into different forms of beasts.”
    • “When I suddenly turned into a dinosaur for the first time, I burst out laughing; it was so unexpected! :D”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The overall ambiance is bland and doesn't draw you into the world.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a straightforward monetization model with a single purchase and no additional microtransactions, which is appreciated by players for its lack of exploitative practices. However, this approach raises concerns about the potential for limited ongoing updates and expansions in the future. Overall, the absence of monetization is seen as a positive aspect, though it may impact the game's long-term content development.

    • “Not having scummy monetization is a good thing, as is being affordable while polished, but it does mean there won't be a financial incentive to continue to push out new updates and leagues unless they start selling expansions, which does not look like what they have planned.”
    • “There's no monetization - just a single purchase.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be less intense compared to competitors, though some quests can feel tedious due to the lack of quest helper mechanics. However, the diverse RPG elements and the dynamic form-swapping system keep the gameplay engaging and prevent it from becoming monotonous.

    • “Most quests feel tedious as the game offers no quest helper-like mechanics, but I guess some may like that even more.”
