About Taival

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.

It's a pretty funny Minecraft-style game with interesting mechanics but not very good optimization, I hope it will be fixed soon.

Overall it's a solid game, but sadly it lacks Russian localization. The lack of anti-aliasing really affects the picture sharpness, and there are quite a few missing features. Nevertheless, I'm giving it a chance and hope the developers keep improving it to make it a truly great game. Really looking forward to the Russian translation!

Cool game, you can play with friends. The gameplay feels very smooth the atmosphere is excellent, and exploring the world is interesting. A multitude of nice little details make the gameplay engaging. The graphics are pixel-art style but well-crafted I hardly found any lag everything is fine.
