QUByte Interactive and Cadabra Games are set to release ADORE, a new monster-training game, next month. Having been available via Steam Early Access since 2020, ADORE will now be launching for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
ADORE takes place in the Gaterdrik universe. The game tells the story of Lukha, a boy capable of summoning and controlling creatures to fight alongside him. Players can customise their gameplay style based on the creatures they capture, each with different characteristics and abilities. Additionally, there are the Synergy System, Traits, and Special Abilities. Each of these allow for unique styles and powerful combos.
ADORE won the Best Brazilian Game award at BIG 2019, standing out for its innovative gameplay and art direction. “This is the first highly acclaimed Brazilian Monster Taming game, and we want to showcase the potential of Brazilian studios to the world,” says Bruno Carvalho, partner at QUByte Interactive.
“ADORE was in development from 2018 to 2023, and based on player feedback on Steam, we made adjustments and shaped ADORE accordingly. We’ve always enjoyed games with control over multiple units, but they are often too complicated for casual players. So, the idea arose to bring that experience in a more accessible way,” says Diogo Carneiro, partner at Cadabra Games.
ADORE Gameplay
While the gameplay of ADORE most certainly fits within the ARPG genre – similar to Diablo or Titan Quest – it’s the monster training element that makes it unique. The player’s creatures work better together. You can create synergies between them, with each synergy a creature possesses activating an extra ability. However, knowing when to summon each creature is very important. Having good positioning, when to call them back, and which artifact or rune to use is key to success.
ADORE will launch globally on 3rd August, 2023. As stated above, it will be available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Are you keen to get some Pokémon style monster collecting into your ARPG gaming? Let us know in the comments below!
