My 2023 bingo card didn’t have a dark fantasy soul-like action RPG with a humanoid cat, but if you did, congratulations! Indie developer Astral Clocktower Studios is your wish. and fill that space with their debut title, Kristala, which is in development. In this title, an absolutely adorable Widdle Warrior must master the magic of his six sacred crystals to fight a terrifying curse that has mutated the rest of Earth’s creatures. The world becomes a monster.
Of course, that’s probably only if you can stop your grumpy cutie warrior from jumping over a bookshelf or trying to catch a laser pointer. I mean, look, it’s a very accurate little domestic cat’s face.
Cute cat jokes aside, it seems like an interesting ARPG thing. The game promises you weapons, spells, armor sets, and items to collect and upgrade as you explore the environment and gather the power of sacred crystals to complete quests to prove yourself. It has been.
It definitely makes me laugh because it leans heavily into the cat metaphor, but the world design is also intriguing. Of course, the main enemy is an army of terrifying humanoid rats, and the latest trailer also shows him battling a terrifying fish. But the design is ingenious! For example, some helmets that look like rats have a design reminiscent of ears. It’s just amazing.
