In my day to day, I see many, many games that look an awful lot like one another. Saving princesses, adaptive AI, exploring space, you name it, I am reading about it over and over, every day. When something comes along that breaks out of the monotonous mold, I perk up. Disdoored's claymation weirdness has done that for me today.
Developer Anton Riot and publisher Bitbox Ltd., the same folks who created the MMO, Life is Feudal, have created a weird, procedurally-generated world created completely hand-crafted out of over 20 lbs of moldable plasticine. Yeah, tell me that's not the first time you've ever heard that sentence. Alone or with up to three friends, build a home base, amass an arsenal of weapons and defenses, plant and farm useful resources, domesticate and upgrade livestock, and discover the mystery behind the oh-so-mysterious doors, known only as THE DOORS!
I am loving this game already.
In Disdoored, mysterious doors have long riddled the peaceful land, bringing with them vicious monsters bent on smooshing the happy inhabitants that live there. A discovery in an ancient laboratory brings hope; Lily, a young, ravenous sapling that holds within her the key to defeating the oppressive Doors. Befriend and grow Lily by catering to her every whim in an effort to entice her into providing you with a super-powered weapon to take back the land and declare it completely Disdoored. In order to survive, players must establish a base, cultivate farmland, create defenses and amass an arsenal. Terrible beasts that are both hungry and highly-territorial pose a constant threat, but some can be domesticated and upgraded to create entirely new species. Featuring a solo and and a cooperative mode that can handle up to four players, this wobbly looking world is probably the weirdest thing you'll experience this week. Then again, I don't know your life.
Disdoored was created by a small team headed by Lead Developer, Anton Riot. Preferring to build rather than play games, this trained Biophysics Engineer began to develop Disdoored in an effort to take his passion project to new heights and create a unique, high-quality contribution to gaming.
