"Drova - Forsaken Kin" is a pixel art Action-RPG inspired by the grim dark classics of
Been in kind of a slump lately, remembered a friend recommending Drova awhile back.
Had apparently marked it ignore at some point, as at first looks it does come off as a kind of generic action-rpg.
start up game, mess around, start pilfering everything not nailed down as one does…find set of clothes to replace my starting rags…talk to the guy i stole em from while wearing them and he stops me “…wtf dude, those are my clothes. give them back”.
oooh, gonna be one of those games, eh?
quest to escort someone to another location? got distracted by a wandering cat and ran off…came back after short fight and that escortee won’t talk to me anymore… “fuck off, you abandoned me”
little things like this repeated over and over again, very reactice rpg.
Drova really surprised me as well! I usually have a hard time sticking with RPG games but I couldn’t stop playing this one. The different factions were fun, loved the world building and surprise interactions and really enjoyed how the terrain was almost a puzzle sometimes. Hidden entrances to move up or down terrain and access chests or secret areas.
I’ve been trying to find another game like it but have failed so far.
I have actually played some CrossCode, it’s a surprisingly a big game! I fell off of it after ten ish hours for some reason but plan to eventually go back. Love the world it is set in and the characters.
