Our take on Starshifter
Shapeshifting and a four-biome journey receive prominent attention, but the four biomes are still described as planned. The stated gameplay centers on exploration, collecting, conversations, and animal quests.
What is Starshifter?
Coyote serves among the Guardians but starts without a special gift.
After falling stars leave the animals exposed to nocturnal spirits, Coyote accepts the duty of restoring them and discovers the power to change shape. Four biomes are planned, featuring birds, deer, foxes, bison, beavers, cougars, and other creatures. The journey includes dialogue, quests involving animals, and story scenes. Taking crow form opens elevated routes, while becoming a weasel allows passage through tight tunnels. Recovering stars develops the transformation skill, increasing Coyote’s reach and time in the air. Cliffs, caves, and star collectibles appear throughout the biomes, and Coyote can also bark.
