Drova – Forsaken Kin – PC Preview

Drova – Forsaken Kin is an upcoming single-player, action-RPG adventure from game developers Just2d. It’s a souls-like action game with mysticism and grim undertones from Celtic mythology. Drova was first teased three years ago and is still being developed. It is set to be released sometime this year on PC. We were invited to take a close look at the game before release. Naturally, I jumped at the chance to go on a deep dive into the lands of Drova.

Gameplay
When getting started with the game you are welcomed with a basic character creator. Here you can customise your pixelated character who you’ll be guiding through these harsh lands. I chose a grizzled look in an attempt to look as badass as possible. I keep doing this hoping that in some future game AI enemies will start paying attention to my unhinged appearance and keep their distance. You are given the option to adorn yourself with a buff to make the game easier in some aspects. I chose a ring that granted more HP as this will be helpful when HP is taken ruthlessly with games like this.
