Taival Key Features

Flexible local + online co-op

Taival lets up to four players join a single session and supports mixing local split-screen players with remote online players at the same time.

Shapeshifting Henki companion

Handcrafted voxel open world

Explore multiple seamlessly connected realms — from rolling highlands to dense forests and ancient ruins — presented in a charming, blocky voxel style.

Two-track progression

Progression runs on parallel tracks: your player character unlocks skills, and your Henki gains new forms and abilities to customize playstyle and party roles.

Varied quests and activities

Taival offers many quests of different lengths and tones, from light community tasks to combat encounters and exploration-driven objectives across the world.
