About Laika: Aged Through Blood

Laika: Aged Through Blood poster

Laika: Aged Through Blood is a western-inspired motorvania set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, telling the tale of a tribe crushed under the boot of occupying forces. At its centre is the deeply personal story of a mother coyote warrior who sets out on an endless path of vengeance to reclaim what her people have lost, framing the sweeping conflict through an intimate mother-daughter relationship marked by loss.

You drive, jump and fight across a huge, hand-drawn world aboard a trusty motorbike, racing through the wasteland while pulling off daring jumps. Combat is inventive and skill-based, letting you shoot enemies in slow motion and reload your gun by performing a backflip, while power-ups help you endure grueling boss battles. The game highlights vehicular combat on a fast, agile bike, a beautiful hand-painted post-apocalyptic setting, a varied world packed with epic bosses and plenty of missions, and a heartfelt narrative about vengeance and family. Billed as the very first motorvania, this action, adventure and indie title carves out a distinctive identity on PC.
