Press release
Aurion Legacy of the Kori-Odan is a 2D side-scrolling action game with hand-drawn art that blends your love of anime with African fantasy. The game features a profound and personal story based on African mythology that is original and unlike anything anyone has seen. No elves, no orcs, no dwarves, no prophecy, no good versus evil, etc.
Beyond a game, Aurion is a story of perseverance. Kiroo Games the developers are the 1st video game studio in Central Africa. And it literally took them 12 years just to build a team and find the funds to make the first Afro-Fantasy RPG of the Gaming History.
Most studio stops to talk about their first game after a couple of years, but Kiroo still communicates their passion to the gaming community with a new gameplay trailer showing how unique Aurion is.
We think Aurion has a lot to offer to more gamers around the world, who don’t know that the game exists yet. More than the fun gameplay, Aurion is a story written for everyone with a self-existential quest. We really shared our soul inside the game. As Cameroonian, we have a unique view of the stakes of the world as we understand a lot of culture because of our own colonial story and our geopolitical position. That’s something you will feel a lot in Aurion
MADIBA Olivier, founders of Kiroo.
When you read positives reviews from the press and the gamers, you can indeed see that the scenario of Aurion seems to be one of its top assets. They even got the interest of Good Fear Film, a Hollywood studio that made the live-action Mulan.
