Fervir, the creator of Creature Keeper, an upcoming top-down action-adventure role-playing game that was funded on Kickstarter. In order to personalize their playstyle, players can equip a range of weapons, armor, and accessories, raise wild animals as fighting companions, and more.
Creature Keeper’s Story
The entire plot was released on the Kickstarter page when the game was first announced in 2019 by Fervir and even then, it attracted a lot of attention.
The story is as follows: “Creatures of the land are suffering from a strange sickness, going berserk, attacking people and other creatures alike. For many years, stories linked the cause to curses, the wrath of gods, war, and even cautionary children's tales. From these stories, one stands out of a hero who traveled the world with creatures by his side. The hero was able to talk to creatures and even stood before mighty dragons.”
“Many adventurers have been inspired by tales like this, including yourself currently on the road of a dark rainy night. Your story starts as an unknown form with a vicious aura slowly emerging from the shadows. Just before you can ready your sword to parry, a wicked force destroys it, turning your feet to run for your life. As the shadow closes in on you, a glint emerges ahead from the thick curtain of rain.
“You chase the light and as you reach out to grab it, the earth disappears from under your feet. The warm brightness turns to sunshine revealing a towering tree bursting with pink flowers; rock sculptures; and sounds of calm flowing water. A ragged scarecrow with a giant pumpkin head perks up, fumbles around putting on a welcoming face, ‘Welcome to- Wait... Where are we?’”
“A warm pulse pulls your attention to a mesmerizing pink crystal in your hand, brimming with unknown energy. Who is this talking scarecrow? Why are creatures going berserk? Does the hero that speaks with creatures really exist? Answers to these questions and many more wait for you in the world of Creature Keeper.”
Creature Keeper’s Gameplay
Creature Keeper is a forthcoming action-adventure RPG created by a solo dev who goes by Fervir. Combat and exploration are the game's main focal points. Since Creature Keeper is a one-person show, there are still not many details available about it. Nevertheless, the combat teaser makes a strong case for why this project is worth paying attention to.
The ability to befriend the world's creatures and convince them to fight for you is the combat's key feature. The monsters that the player can adopt and train to fight are the game's main draw. It's unclear whether players can tame any animals or just specific beasts.
In addition, the combat system was shown in the trailer to be well-polished and based on smooth animations and precise controls. The ability to customize your playstyle with a variety of weapons, skills, and magic gives players the chance to be unpredictable and change how they play in comparison to other players.
