About
You stumble upon the last Henki - a creature unlike any other, a shapeshifter keeping the world of Taival in balance. Together, you set out across a handcrafted blocky world to recover the shattered fragments of its lost heritage. What you find along the way will change both of you.
Taival is a co-op adventure RPG for up to 4 players where your goal is to find out who destroyed Heartstone of the Henki, restore it to its former glory and bring your companion back to where it belongs. This is a cozy yet mighty adventure you’ve never seen before.
Your Henki companion is the heart of Taival. As you encounter new creatures across the world, Henki can absorb their essence and shift into their form each one bringing a unique set of abilities to battle and exploration. A hulking beast that absorbs damage. A swift mount that scales cliffsides. A cunning predator that strikes from the shadows.
The more of the world you explore, the more forms you unlock. Master new skills and find the combination that fits your playstyle or your party's.
Taival is a handcrafted open world built from the ground up with a charming, voxel-style blocky art style. Multiple seamlessly connected realms each bring their own environments, inhabitants, and secrets from rolling highlands to dense forests and ancient ruins waiting to be uncovered.
Spread across the world are tons of quests with varying lengths. Players can help a farmer figure who stole their barrel of plants (it was a rodent), or they can assist in settling a house ownership disagreement between two goblins. The game being a cozy co-op RPG doesn’t mean the quests are only on the cozy side of things; Players can find themselves fighting a beast on a barbarian camp or doing some pest control on insects of their own size.
Taival is built for playing together. Invite up to 3 friends and journey as a full party each with their own character, companion, and skill tree. What makes Taival's co-op special: you can mix local split-screen and online players in the same session, simultaneously. One friend on the couch, two more joining from across the world all in the same adventure.
When your group faces a pivotal quest decision, everyone gets a say. You will all follow the same dialogue, letting you see each other's cursors and suggested dialogue options.
Taival's progression runs on two tracks that grow in tandem. For your character: unlock abilities, improve your combat skills, and even level up your fishing. For Henki: master new creature forms, unlock mount abilities for faster exploration, and build a companion that feels uniquely yours. The deeper you go, the more the world opens up. 
Shapeshifting companion (Henki) - absorb creature forms found throughout the world, each with unique combat and traversal abilities
Handcrafted open world - multiple seamlessly connected biomes with distinct environments, inhabitants, and stories
Up to 4-player co-op - mix local split-screen and online players in the same session, simultaneously

Charming voxel-style art - a handcrafted blocky world with a warm, inviting visual identity

Was waiting for this since 2015. Thank you for your great work and making this real.
Красивая милая игра, которая если бы была бы не в Майнкрафт стилистике, только выиграла Но это мое мнение, буду играть, мне понравилась ПыСы Сделал пару квестов, классная игра, удачи разработчикам!!!
This review will be in two languages: English and Polish / Recenzja będzie w dwóch językach EN / PL [EN] - A good game with great potential that kept me hooked for a long session. Perfect for chilling out and enjoying some relaxed gameplay. The world feels alive and there’s genuinely plenty going on in it. The game features elements such as mining for resources, crafting, boss battles and looting, with weapons also having their own rarity levels. The game has a unique movement system that really works well. The project looks very promising, and communication with the developers on Discord is excellent – they listen to players’ issues and address any bugs that are reported. Summary: Yes, this is an early access game, and you need to bear that in mind when buying it. You’re bound to come across bugs or obstacles in the game that will make gameplay more difficult, or you might feel that something is unbalanced. But I’d still recommend giving this game a chance. Judging by the developers’ approach to this project, the game certainly has a future. [PL] - Dobra gra z dużym potencjałem, która wciągnęła mnie na długą sesje. Idealna do chillu i przyjemnej rozgrywki. Świat jest żywy i na prawdę coś się w nim dzieje. Znajdziemy w grze takie funkcje jak kopanie surowców, crafting, walka z bossami oraz lootowanie gdzie bronie też mają swój stopień rzadkości. Gra posiada specyficzny sposób poruszania się który naprawdę zdaje egzamin. Projekt zapowiada się bardzo dobrze, kontakt z developerami jest znakomity na discordzie i słuchają problemów i znalezionych bugów. Podsumowanie : Tak jest to wczesny dostęp i kupując tą grę trzeba o tym pamiętać. Napotkasz w grze na pewno bugi jakieś przeszkody które utrudnią ci rozgrywkę albo poczujesz ,że coś jest niezbalansowane. Patrząc jak podchodzą deweloperzy do tego projektu, na pewno ma ta gra przyszłość.
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' (Yeah)
This is pretty fun Great atmosphere and the gameplay is super engaging Definitely worth checking out and explore the world of Taival
很期待她的之後更新打磨得更好 他把cube word 沒有做到的完成了 非常有潛力 地圖很大 喜歡慢慢探索的人一定會很喜歡!
Na chwile obecną nie polecam. Zrobiłem parę questów po czym zacząłem kolejny i nie chciał mi przejść po mimo zebrania jedzenia dla pluszaka którego miałem nakarmić po kilku minutach starania się i rozmyślania jak go nakarmić by przejść do kolejnego questa ode chciało mi się. I system walki oraz uników jest taki mheh jak by chciał ale nie mógł. Tak na siłę dokładnie jak w kiblu. I z powrotem cofasz się po mapie turlając się jak ten klocek przez kanalize.
Okay this world def feels like handmade. I do really like the artstyle and the vibes of the world. And a huuuge positives are the possibilities to coop and play with a controller which aren't part of games that much anymore. Rolling is so fun and Henki is the cutest.
I went into this game with fairly low expectations, mainly because it’s an indie title made by a team of only four people. After playing for a while, I honestly find that hard to believe. The world is surprisingly large, with plenty of areas to explore, and playing with up to four friends makes the experience even more enjoyable. The combat is simple but satisfying, and the rolling movement is absolutely hilarious. There is already a lot to enjoy, and I’m excited to see how the game develops on the road to version 1.0. Great work by the team. Definitely recommended
this game is dope
