Hack and Slash Puzzle Platformer ARPG

Kandria is a hand-crafted, 2D action game, which combines the wall-climbing verticality and precision puzzle platforming of Celeste, with the tight hack and slash swordplay of NieR:Automata, all set within an epic, post-apocalyptic RPG story and world. Questions of artificial life and android ethics abound as you thread and fight your way through hostility, and a complex web of uncertain truths.

FIGHT TO SURVIVE

Play as The Stranger, a powerful android recently unearthed from the ruins of the old world.
Perform tight, smooth hack and slash combat against rogue robots and malcontent humans - you’re faster, stronger, and can jump higher. But are you smarter?
When you think you’ve mastered things, prepare yourself for epic boss battles with beasts and machines, which slumber and lurk deep beneath the earth.

STRUGGLE WITH HUMANITY

Explore vast, open and interconnected levels full of non-linear missions, challenging platforming, and gorgeous pixel art decay - cross the barren surface, or spelunk deep underground.
Meet flawed characters and factions struggling to survive; choose who to follow, and who you’ll help or hinder as you forge your own future amongst the ruins.
Thread your way through prejudice in an epic detective quest of mystery, grit and self-determination.

INDIE HEART & SOUL, MODDING SUPPORT

Made by a tiny team headed by Shinmera, an indie developer of not only games but also art and software, who crafted the unique engine, world, art style and atmosphere.
Features thousands of frames of hand-drawn, hand-animated pixel art characters and locations, and an atmospheric, futuresynth soundtrack.
Built in Trial, a highly-moddable, custom game engine and toolset created just for this title, which lets you mod content and create your own levels.
Indie love and passion guaranteed.

Level Editor Update is Live!

The first major update for Kandria is now live on all platforms! It includes the level editor, a modding system, some new sample levels, and bugfixes!

Level Editor

The level editor received a big overhaul and is now a lot more accessible. There's also official documentation now to help get you started and explain all the tools and shortcuts available. If you want to dig in, just update your game and navigate to Mod Manager > Create Mod, which should place you directly into the editor in a new world of your own!

Sharing Mods

You can play levels made by others and download them directly from within the game. To browse existing levels, simply go to Mod Manager > Discover. From there you can select and install mods. Once installed, you can play their world under the Worlds tab.

We've provided a number of sample levels for you to play and edit. Open them up and see how they work, maybe you'll get inspired to make your own!

Join in on our Discord community event ! We'll raffle out 20 Steam keys for Kandria to anyone that uploads a new level. You can freely give the key out to a friend so they can play the level you made!
