About

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.

ABOUT US

Aftnareld is founded by Narin & Valle, we’re a gaming couple that started chasing our gamedev ambitions back in 2018. Since starting out as just a past-time hobby, we have both dedicated many years to learn game development on our own, with Coridden as the core project through all this time. Along the way, we’ve had the fortune to meet several passionate people that have helped and joined us on the journey to release Coridden.
We knew from the start that we wanted to make games with co-op and depth. We believe that co-op games are not only fun, but are also important for bringing people together. As we continue our gamedev journey, we are dedicated to keeping an open mind, listening to feedback from the community and keep improving our craft!

A little hidden gem I have had on my wishlist for awhile and decided to randomly buy it and give it a shot. I must say this game has surprised me and impressed me I was not expecting it to be such fun haha. And its a small dev team I def recommend showing support and buying the game.
Great ARPG with some unique mechanics. Absolute steal at the price point!
At 17 hours for a playthrough taking our time in coop exploring and crafting it's somewhat of a short action-rpg. The combat is dynamic, the movement is good, and the creatures you can transform into are cool with lots of build options.
This game is beautiful, the sound design is really good, the gameplay is accessible - with a few complaints - and the story isn't so bad! I really do love the style and difficulty. Played on the highest difficulty with a friend and even though we died a bit, it was still possible. Gotta really watch out for 1-shot scenarios. The co-op (ESPECIALLY COUCH co-op) is actually amazing in this game. If there were some more aspects that leaned into that like the story, puzzles, skills/abilities, then this game would compete with the best of them. Even said, Coridden is one of the only offerings to do couch co-op ARPG this good. I would definitely recommend this game if not for a few complaints. My biggest current complaint is that IMPALE isn't working OR Steam Achievements is bugged somehow. Trying to 100% this game for the achievements is fruitless. On that point, the achievement for getting the all of the creatures is very 'time sink' since you'll have to farm without any indication of what you've already picked up unless you've been saving all of your drops into your storage/backpack. Currently, building skills is really basic (seems like quite a bit of overlap with skills). There are also some that feel completely useless (looking at YOU, energy gain for other form while in other form).
Default controller settings are weird BUT fully remappable. great game for the value
Perfect game to play with your SO
Difficult to discover gem but fun, especially with others. Playing this game with my 2 kids (primary school) and this is their first RPG. Combat is not difficult to understand but more challenging to master (kids are still getting the hang of it). Overall, we all look forward to firing up the game and playing for a few hours, advancing the story and our characters. Many options for classes and skills as you would expect from a reasonable RPG. Played with controller.
Great game, a few aspects are a bit underwhelming, but the skill tree, leveling, and graphics are awesome! I do wish the game allowed players to branch out a bit more though. It's more of a one track game, you finish a main quest in a area, you move to the next, and not much more content after. But overall a absolutely great game and worth the money you pay. Overall rating - 8.9/10
Fun ARPG where you can morph into different creatures with their own skill trees along with your main character's build. I played as a lightning caster and had a great time playing it!
I'm so happy I rediscovered this game. I bought it on sale awhile back and forgot about it. I just recently saw it in my library and downloaded it to steamdeck. It was a very good decision. I have been having so much fun, I played it both on my steamdeck and PC and the controls are intuitive on both. It's fun shapeshifting and the graphics are great, the story is good and I've enjoyed the quests. I really like upgrading weapons and my character. All in all I would recommend they did a great job on this, I'd buy a sequel.
