Shadow of Oryda

Genre: Metroidvania with building and exploration elements.
After a crash landing, you find yourself on the lost planet Oryda – a place filled with dangerous wildlife, ancient machinery, and countless secrets. Collect the wreckage of your rocket, unlock new abilities, and return to areas that were previously inaccessible. Along the way, you can construct important structures, take part in mini-games, and gradually uncover the truth behind Orida’s aggressive nature – and whether the planet can be restored.
Suit switching is a core gameplay mechanic:
different suits completely change your combat style.
Yellow suit – close-range combat.
Green suit – fast, rapid-fire ranged attacks.
Red suit – powerful long-range attacks.
Throughout the game, you first discover new suits and then upgrade them, expanding both combat options and exploration possibilities.

What awaits you
Diverse biomes: fog-covered ruins with unpredictable, decaying mechanisms; vast desert wastelands hiding ancient pyramids; frozen plateaus; and scorching lava canyons. Each biome has its own threats and hidden secrets.

Exploration and progression: discover suit upgrades and new abilities that open previously closed paths. Returning to earlier locations with new tools is a core part of progression and rewards curiosity.

Combat and tactics: from small aggressive creatures to powerful bosses – learn to use your abilities and the environment to survive.

Building and crafting: construct a base and functional mechanisms that help you endure harsh conditions and move the story forward.

Mini-games: short challenges with their own rules and rewards – standalone puzzles and reaction-based trials.

Story through exploration: expedition logs, fragments of technology, and hidden locations come together into a larger narrative. How deeply you explore determines how much of Orida’s past you uncover, and whether its world can be restored.

The game world offers places worth exploring and choices that influence the story.
