Flagship
AIKA World
In active developmentAIKA World is a next-gen co-op adventure where players explore open zones from a living ship hub, completing mission-based arcs while shifting between real-anime and painterly visual styles. The game blends character-driven storytelling with systems that react to crew choices, keeping every sortie collaborative and replayable.
What makes it stand out
Stylized real-anime visuals shift toward painterly scenes during cinematic beats without breaking cohesion.
The flagship ship acts as a persistent hub where players craft loadouts, plan routes, and see world-state changes.
Mission-based open zones layer handcrafted objectives over systemic exploration for co-op squads.
Character-centric storytelling responds to crew decisions, letting relationships and arcs evolve across runs.
