Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and in the gaming space, that happens quite a bit. Case in point, Bonobo Software and Level Up Gaming have dropped their open-world co-op RPG Taival on Steam Early Access. What is it an imitation of? Take a look at the “blocky nature” of things and take a wild guess. Regardless of its “origins,” the game offers a wide world for players to have fun with on their own or with friends. Take a look at the game’s synopsis and trailer below:

“Taival, meaning “journey” in Finnish, is an online or couch co-op adventure RPG for up to 4 players along with your shapeshifting companion, the Henki, explore a vibrant, blocky open world, drawing inspiration from Cube World, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Skyrim.“

What can you expect from the Steam Early Access version? Here are some of its features:

• Full Main Quest + Additional Side Quests – An open world built to wander with varied quests including investigation, NPC
  disputes, and unique combat encounters.
• Up to 4-Player Co-Op, Local + Online Simultaneously – Play with up to 3 friends mixing local split-screen and online
  players in the same session.
• Henki – Shapeshifting Companion – Absorbing the essence of encountered creatures, shifting new forms with unique
  abilities for battle and exploration.
• 4 Distinct Biomes – Multiple seamlessly connected realms featuring rolling highlands, dense forests, mountains, and more to explore.

There’s more where that came from, too. So, check out Taival now, and if you do it quickly, you’ll get a 20% discount of its price on Steam.
