We've been reading your reviews
Greetings, Shifters! ✊
Coridden came out yesterday, and we couldn't be happier to see how you receive our game!
When we're writing this, Coridden has 31 reviews, and all of them are positive 😍
Let's hit “Very Positive” next! 😁
Here are a couple of shorter reviews telling what people liked the most about Coridden:
👍🏼 "Seamless shapeshifting is something that makes combat seem very fluid. Cool concept." source
👍🏼 "Game turned out to be a great positive surprise for me, the combat system and the wonderful world to explore make you get sucked into the gameplay in no time. Definitely recommend" source
👍🏼 "Played this at Närcon Summer 2024. Felt it had potential then. Having a blast with the little i played so far now. Happy with the how the game turned out. I can also pet the dog in the first hub-town. 10/10" source
👍🏼 "Coming from a small indie company, this game is incredibly well done. 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 enegry pool. Definitely recommend for the single-player experience. Have not had the opportunity to try out co-op as of yet." source
But we're also keeping our eyes and ears open in the whole Internet.
Here are some of the reviews that we got on various gaming outlets:
"[...] the music is outstanding. In fact, I’d say that atmospheric music suits the barren and lush landscapes wonderfully. Whoever composed the music for Coridden should be proud of their work." and "I also found the writing to be full of heart, as themes of family are core to Coridden’s story in a raw way we don’t usually see from big budget titles." RPG Fan
"Aftnareld's game is visually very pretty, with a sublime play of light, especially in dark places. Its science-fiction universe, mixed with a slightly less modern one, adds a touch of charm to the adventure." and "It's great fun to explore Heera's world as a human or a beast. What's more, the OST is very pleasant, and easily takes us on a journey into the world of Coridden. " Couple of gamer
"The environments are vibrant and diverse, with an impressive attention to detail. From the dense forests to the abandoned ruins, each area feels unique and while playing I wanted to explore every nook and cranny. The effects of the various skills also make an excellent impression." Evil Gamerz
"Coridden is considered one of the most promising RPGs of the year, thanks to its unique mechanics that allow players to change physical forms and its well-developed co-op features. It's a great choice for spending an evening with friends." Co-op Land

Coridden comes out on 29 January 2025. That means we're counting hours to the launch, and we hope you're as excited as we are!
With that, we wanted to set up the expectations at the right level.
What is Coridden?
Coridden is an indie action RPG where you play as a monster-shifter, able to transform into the creatures you defeat. Venture out alone or in co-op with up to 3 friends on a journey to uncover the dark secrets sealed inside the legendary city of Aasha.
The game brings back a similar vibe and fun action as old-school co-op RPGs, such as the Diablo games, BG: Dark Alliance, Champions of Norrath but also those that engrossed us in their engaging narrative and side quest-hunting such as Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.
Coridden’s world is in a sort of post-apocalyptic scenario where nature and creatures dominate, but humans still have access to highly advanced technology they do not fully understand, similar to the feel of the world in Horizon Zero Dawn.
What Coridden isn't.
🐲 Some mechanics might have a similar feel to Path of Exile or Diablo games, all being isometric/hack-and-slash/action RPGs. However, it's difficult to compare Coridden to them due to different scopes of production. Coridden's budget and dev team is much, much smaller.
🐲 Talking of scope — Coridden is not an AAA game with a huge open world. Finishing the game should take about 10-15 hours, 20-25 if you want to do all side-quests, and about 30 if you're going for all achievements.
Mark your calendars and get ready to dive into a new adventure 🏃🏼🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♀️🐊
Coridden will be available at 9 AM PST.
To help our global community prepare for the launch, we've compiled a list of release times for various cities around the world:
January 29, 2025 • Los Angeles, USA: 9 AM PST • New York, USA: 12 PM EST • São Paulo, Brazil: 2 PM BRT • London, UK: 5 PM GMT • Warsaw, Poland: 6 PM CET • Cape Town, South Africa: 7 PM SAST January 30, 2025 • Beijing, China: 1 AM CST • Tokyo, Japan: 2 AM JST • Sydney, Australia: 4 AM AEDT
We hope this helps you plan your gaming session and join us in celebrating the launch of Coridden. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready for an adventure like no other!
We've been getting a lot of questions about whether you can play Coridden on the Steam Deck.
Officially, we haven't got that green tick from Steam yet. However! We decided to give it a try on the Steam Deck ourselves, and you know what? It totally works!
We played for a bit and Coridden plays smoothly, without dropping frames. Cloud saves work as well, so you can play a bit on Steam Deck and pick it up on PC later if you'd like 😄
From what we know, the more people play our game on Steam Deck, the faster we'll get verified!
So, give it a try and let us know what you think! Your feedback means the world to us as we keep working to make the game even better. Get ready to grab your Steam Deck, dive into Coridden, and share your adventure with us. See you in the game!
We're thrilled to announce that Coridden will be available on PC starting January 29, 2025. As you prepare to dive into our game, it's important to make sure your system is ready to handle the adventure that awaits.

Here is how various elements currently look like:
