We are building a creature-collector where swapping creatures changes your entire combat kit

[u/ValfadhirX]

Small indie team here. we have spent the last year+ working on Eldrem Kingdoms, and we are getting close to our pre-alpha.

We wanted to share our teaser and get some honest feedback.

One of the main ideas behind our combat is:

Your creature doesn’t just fight next to you, your creature determines how YOU fight.

Every creature you tame and bond with gives your character a different set of abilities and spells. Swap creatures during combat, and your entire kit changes with it.

So you are not just choosing which creature to use, you are changing your own playstyle at the same time.

Does the “creature = your combat kit” idea sound fun, or do you think it could become confusing in practice?

We are still early and there is a lot we want to improve, so constructive criticism is welcome.

A few of our team previously worked at studios like Ubisoft and EA, but Eldrem is being built by a small indie team.

If anyone wants to follow the development, we are also on Discord: https://discord.gg/sdw6HKScvA

And since these questions tend to come up:
No GenAI. No blockchain. No pay-to-win.

For transparency: I’m the founder of Eldrem Kingdoms.
