Set within an Indigenous Australian inspired fantasy world, Innchanted by DragonBear Studios is a single-player or co-op adventure where you and your party of adventurers serve potions and food, chase away or befriend creatures and stop thieves from poaching your piggybank while you run a magical inn.

We spoke to creative director Paulina Samy and technical director Ben Boyd and asked them about the game and what it's been like creating a game with an Indigenous Australian take on traditional fantasy tropes.

Some good ninja stuff, good samurai stuff, it took them a long time to get here but boy I'm glad they did.

Pros:
  • Naoe feels like the old assassins from previous games
  • Yasuke definitely doesn't, which is very welcome change
  • Absolutely stunning world that feels busy and lived in
Cons:
  • Maybe the world actually might be too big?
  • It's an evolution not a revolution, if you've bounced off Assassin's Creed in the past this doesn't break the mold.
