Indie builders Astral Clocktower Studios are granting your want and filling in that area with Kristala, its in-development debut title the place your completely lovely widdle warrior should grasp the magic of six sacred crystals to combat a horrible curse that has mutated the opposite creatures of the world into monsters.
That’s presumably, after all, in case your ickle bitty cutie warrior can cease making an attempt to leap on high of the bookshelves and/or catch the laser pointer. I imply simply take a look at them, they’re such exact little housecat faces.
Cute cate jokes apart, it appears like some fascinating ARPG stuff. The sport guarantees to have weapons, spells, armor units, and objects to gather and improve as you discover its atmosphere and full your quest to show your self by gathering your sacred crystal powers.
The world design additionally intrigues me, even when it undoubtedly makes me snicker due to how arduous it leans into the cat tropes. The primary enemy is, after all, a military of scary humanoid rats, and the latest trailer reveals a scary fish to combat as effectively. However the design is creative! Some mousey-looking helmets have designs harking back to ears on them, for instance—simply good stuff.
