Wildaria is an open-world, infinitely procedurally generated adventure game that lets you capture any animal you see and use it as your personal mount as you venture through a beautiful fantasy world (oh yeah, and fight the animal gods while you're at it).

Each animal you tame with your lasso becomes your companion and fights alongside you, potentially even using elemental abilities to give you the upper hand in certain conflicts. This world is full of biomes teeming with living creatures and environments you can immerse yourself in and explore to your heart's content.

However, you may need to arm yourself with a variety of weapons and mana abilities to defeat threats native to Wildaria, using your combat arsenal as best you can.

Take on quests with your newfound weaponry and mana powers to witness, as the developer puts it, "the struggle between civilisation and nature", leading to different boss encounters and choices that ripple throughout Wildaria.

Like the procedural overworld, Wildaria is home to procedural caves where you can find animal gods that pose a formidable threat but also drop great loot! But beware: go in prepared; these bosses are a serious threat.

This massive adventure is coated in heavy GBA-inspired paint, which looks amazing alongside the Zelda-esque style and modernised shaders and gameplay.

If this nature-pondering adventure game sounds lush to you, then head on over to Steam and pick up Wildaria.
