Story and atmosphere

it's a great gamewith a very cozy atmosphere. I've played a demo two-three years ago and totaly forgot it. thought I haven't found the same zombie/werewolf from demo i enjoy the game still. great small interactions and small stories around. nice pixel graphics matching with music. I would like NPC and main character to be more detailed but that probably make animation much more complicated. also the handling of active skills is a bit clumsy. though there is some combo potential it's hard to use it, as too many manipulation needed to make it work with visual part totally covered with selection circle, same issue with traps. it's not clear how to set them before the fights. but it is small things. in general it's a nice story rich game with various side quests.

Great exploration

Game is great, I really liked missing markers, it makes exploration feel like a little adventure. If your're a fan of Gothic series, you will love this game

everything reminds me of Gothic

The world design, behaviour of NPCs, bioms, quests, locations and even the soundtracks are very similar to Gothic. the developers are from germany and you can tell by the way the NPCs speak. Big advice: Play it in German!

For the Gothic Goober In You

Look, Drova is pretty great. You're teleported to a weird alternate universe/place, you've got nothing, you're struggling to fight off rats and dying repeatedly to single wolves, and somehow, SOMEHOW, you have to get out of this mess and...what? Get home? Make a new life? Who knows? What you DO know is that you'd better earn some money, scrape together some decent equipment, and try not to get. Like. Eaten. Or stabbed. Or poisoned. Or shanghaied to work in The Mines. If this sounds familiar and comforting, you probably played the Gothic series way back when, and yes, Drova's definitely got some DNA from there; but rather than being a German Countryside Simulator, it's more of a Celtic Otherworld Roguelite. It's hard, but you can make it. Sell drugs! Sell skins and hunted animal parts! Brew potions! Make traps! Get involved in a religious dispute! Bet on fights! Drova's got options. You're a survivor, not The Hero....mostly, until you are. If you don't like pixel art this may not be your jam, and that's ok. If you really, really want to play a Mage Character.....well, I won't say there's no options, but let's just say they're probably not there for you right at the start. But otherwise it's a pretty great little RPG with plenty to enjoy and lots of dying to random gnats, cursing, reloading, and joyfully hacking your way back into the fight.
