Love the game, so much fun to play with my wife. The RPG elements are elegant and easy to get into. Hoping to see some expansions / DLC. Also switching between human and creature form while fighting is very satisfying. Game looks beautiful. Well done.

About the Game

Coridden is an old-school hack n’ slash action RPG with innovative shapeshifting mechanics. Engage in intense action-based combat and transform seamlessly between human and one of the unique, fully fleshed-out monsters - each with their own skill trees and abilities. Find new gear and DNA-strands while exploring a hostile planet. Venture out solo or in co-op on a journey to uncover the dark secrets sealed away inside a legendary city.
BECOME A SHIFTER: Switch between your human and beast form freely to utilize each form's strengths and skills when needed. The different beast forms are not only formidable in fights, you can also use them to faster traverse and overcome obstacles in the world.
ACTION FOCUSED COMBAT: Experience intense combat action where both your own skills and character gear matters. Learn when to attack, dodge, jump, shapeshift and use your abilities to effectively take out the aggressive beasts, bandits and machines that you’ll encounter on your journey.
GROW YOUR POWERS: Build up both your human and monster form with new gear, attributes and active and passive skills as you level up. Choose from 4 human classes and train one or more of the 7 beast masteries available.
RIDE OUT IN CO-OP: Up to 4 players can play together in drop in/drop out co-op gameplay, both offline/locally and online. In co-op you also unlock a special team mechanic: ride on each other’s back to become a strong cavalry unit together!
EXPLORE THE WORLD OF HEERA: Take the role as one of four siblings, each one with their own distinct personality, opening up for different sidequests and choices in conversations. Alongside your main mission, you can explore the open areas further to find hidden treasures and complete side quests in an unusual science fantasy world.

User Reviews
Loved the time in this game. Had wonderful company playing it. Very enjoyable. I would recommend.
Great, chill game.
Really fun game, plays great. Intuitive controls and gameplay.
Coridden is an action adventure style Diablo-like game which whilst the story is rather uninspired and the creature roster leans more heavily towards predators (I would have liked some herbivore representation} it really delivers upon its fantasy. It was so good I even booted up the NG+ purely to explore the mechanics and try a few more builds. Def worth the $20 price tag and if its on sale I wouldnt hesitate to snag it and give it a try.
A breath of fresh air for the ARPG genre
Very fun game that has an interesting take on the ARPG genre. Plus, you can transform, and RIDE on top of your friends in Co-op. Game is a steal at full price, IMO.
I'm still finding my feet in the game, but it is beautiful and plays smoothly, with an actually usable and fun shapeshifting mechanic on top of some good ARPG innovation. I would say it's moved away from the 'traditional' ARPG format and created a kind of hybrid where there is more Action relative to RPG, while still maintaining the strong influence on your playstyle from your gear and skills. For a small team, it is nothing short of miraculous that it has as much polish, QoL, and mechanical refinement as it does. I'll be watching the studio to see what they do next!
