Check Out The First Gameplay Trailer For An Upcoming Survival Crafter With A Walking, Buildable Fortress

Solo game developer Joyen has shared great news with the community. Loya, an open-world survival crafter with a walking, buildable fortress that they've been working on for the past seven years, has received its first gameplay trailer.

Actually, back in 2022, this Unity project had attracted our attention with its procedurally generated bridge and interiors. Fast forward to now, the game has evolved greatly and received a Steam page with a detailed introduction about its gameplay and features. So let's take a closer look. 

The highlights of Loya include a walking fortress, giant bosses, exploration, defense, and multiplayer. In this game, players must defeat giants to collect their cores. In order to achieve this, you'll need to build and upgrade the walking fortresses and equip them with powerful weapons.  The materials are not easily obtained; there will be fierce battles to get ready for. 

The vast open world in Loya appears vibrant, allowing you to explore it at your own pace. The walking fortress can not only walk but also fly, allowing you to ascend high into the air and navigate. Also, you can attach towers to it so it can automatically attack the enemies.

If you're impressed by the gigantic rocky Golem in the trailer, the solo developer has more great news: there will be four such giants, each on a unique biome. 

Whether you enjoy exploring and battling solo or prefer teaming up with friends, Loya provides the flexibility you need. You can play along with friends or connect to a dedicated server that holds up to 25 players or more. 

While sharing the new trailer, Joyen also noted that a playtest is underway, allowing testers to experience the complete first biome, which offers approximately 10 to 20 hours of gameplay. Other biomes include a snowy environment and a desert, with the last one to be revealed later. 

If Loya looks interesting to you, don't hesitate to add the game to your Steam wishlist and follow Joyen on X/Twitter to check out more in-game footage and receive future updates.
