"Drova - Forsaken Kin" is a pixel art Action-RPG inspired by the grim dark classics of the genre and the mystical allure of Celtic mythology. Dive into a handcrafted open world where your choices and actions shape the environment. A society has discovered the power of a dead empire: to capture the spirits that govern nature and rule over them instead. However, the anger of the remaining spirits divided them. Where will you stand?
Join one of two factions, each with their own values and in pursuit of their own goals. Your choice will be relevant for the rest of the game and impact the entire story. Everything comes with a price. Meet teachers and learn numerous abilities, but expect foes and betrayals too.
Forge your own path around dangerous landscapes, fulfill tasks, trade, gather and craft equipment. You start with nothing and as a nobody. Study your environment, and use the surrounding clues to reveal mysteries and grow stronger. Only your flow of battle stands between you and certain death.
Explore nature and seal the power of spirits that rule it. Learn how to use them in your favor, but be prepared to battle their channeled anger in the world surrounding you.

Loving it, atmospheric and beautiful
The pixel art is great and very atmospheric. The gameplay is not the easiest but not overly difficult. A few hours in and the exploration is very enjoyable, quests are plenty and not too repetitive.

Very interesting
Very interesting rpg, with not much handholding. It also looks really beautiful. The combat mechanics are nice, but the beginning of the game is a bit hard. If you wander off the paths a little bit, you can get overwhelmed by packs of very strong enemies. I love it how the game lets you do your thing. There is no map at the beginning, you have to make due with the directions npc's give you. You can get or buy maps later, as an item, where you have to make your own notes. There is a nice crafting/cooking system as well, right from the start you can cook some food and potions, and you can get recipes for better stuff later. The only con I have found is that it seems that there aren't many abilities and spells in the game. I could be wrong, but when I look at the screen where you can unlock abilities, I only see a few locked things.

Get it, play it, be happy
Had a blast playing Drova. Ticks all the right boxes and kept me highly entertained for around 40 hours. Everything else was already written in other comments - if you even remotely like RPGs or Gothic, definitely give it a try!

Top-down Gothic
That's pretty much it folks. By Gothic I mean 1 and 2, so interesting world with lots of exploration, starting as a shmuck and working your way upwards, factions etc. A great little gem of a game.

Truly unique RPG and great game
I bought this game because I read so much about it being like Gothic, one of my all-time favorites. A few hours in and I can absolutely confirm this! The game has exactly the right balance between exploration, fighting, collecting items, talking and solving quests. With a fun, active fighting system, interesting character development, good ambient music and sound, and very nice pixel art graphics, the game is everything I have been wishing for. For me, it belongs to the list of personal favorites in PC RPG gaming, beside Gothic I and II, Albion, Enderal and Archolos.
