Drova - Forsaken Kin

I absolutely love Drova! It may not be for everyone but if you enjoy games that emphasises on ambience and has a light wholesome feel then this may be for you. Despite the old pixel game design it is stunningly beautiful at times due to weather and lighting affects, so much so I've spent countless hours just vibing in gorgeous locations. I find the combat incredibly addictive, with a really well designed field of levelling. You start out with just rags on your back, then have to find food, weapons, armour, hell even a map. And you do it however you want by exploring, no hand holding arrow pointing you where to go. You can loot or steal basically everything on the map, even knock people out and pick clean their pockets. Through progression you'll get great gear, skills and can come back to these areas that made you feel weak. Enemies that could easily kill you now can't even hurt you, you swat them like flies and feel empowered. Though the challenge continues to grow the further you push out into the map so it doesn't feel boring. That said it's all completely adjustable, so if you don't like difficult fights you can make the game super easy. Or if you want a real challenge, it has extra spawns with new abilities. Also ironman! I've spent many hours in this game, using spells to dash through the map like I'm The Flash. Or calling down thunderstorm lightning strikes like Thor. I've conquered the most seemingly impossible of challenging dungeons and bosses, then returned back to my camp just relax getting drunk. You can even smoke 'Rustmoss' in a pipe to get that real fantasy feel like LotR. I don't often leave reviews on games but I feel like this one deserves every positive word possible said about it so that more might play it. Because for me it's one of the most underdog games I've ever experienced so this is what little I can do to support the developers and thank them. Thank you for Drova! I am really looking forward to your future content.

Ein wundervolles Abenteuer für alle Gothic-Fans! Schon bei den ersten Schritten unseres (nicht namenlosen) Heldens wird klar, dies wird ein Abenteuer nach feinster Gothic-Manier. Drova ist eine Perle der Nostalgie und hat mich von Anfang bis Ende gepackt. Die Welt ist rau, gefährlich und ein falscher Schritt kann zum Tod führen. Die Dialoge haben den Charme, den ich bereits von Gothic kennen und lieben gelernt habe. Ich wünsche mir deutlich mehr solcher Spiele. Ich fasse mich kurz: Kauft es, spielt es und genießt es...es lohnt sich.

更新完直接无限加载，根本玩不了了

这款游戏最夸张的一点就是随着剧情推进会送属性夸张的离谱的装备，把你自己探索世界击杀怪物一点点提升属性的所有努力给否定掉。某些评测认为这款游戏有老滚的影子是真的一点不负责任张口就来。

First impression is that the gameplay is interesting, but visual novel level of writing just kills me. Maybe it will grow on me but currently I feel like the only thing that's missing are low quality anime portraits and relationship meters.

非常沉浸，但是还是有几点要说明一下， 本作NPC性能是高于玩家的，因为NPC有自瞄，而且玩家处于持械状态会降低移速，以及向后倒退走也会降低移速，再加上体力条在不穿轻甲的情况下只能闪避3次，这就导致玩家会很呆，而且敏捷属性真是拉完了，居然不加移速，单纯加一个暴击率，可以说玩家能赢到最后全靠血瓶以及喝药霸体，同时本作开背包无时停，快捷栏又只有4个，直接导致在遇到突发情况难以把包里的药换出来然后暴毙

I was enjoying it until I ruined my save by accidentally choosing the wrong armor set. That's the strongest armor tier in the game, so there's no recovering from this. Lower tiers give you the option of buying the other sets, but this tier doesn't. Almost 60 hours down the drain. I guess it's this kind of game, so it's also this kind of review. Edit: As it turns out, there's a way to acquire a second set of the final armor tier. Unfortunately, I only discovered this after I tried to save my build by assigning Learning Points in stats that would make the first set I chose viable. There's no way to respec stats because the devs feel you should only be able to respec skills, despite both stats and skills being purchased wit the same Learning Points - which I also discovered only after using the respec potion. So now I'm stuck with a half-broken build no matter which armor set I choose to use. Yay. It's a shame because I would have given this game an excellent review otherwise. Mistakes that can ruin your entire playthrough when you're near the end shouldn't exist in any game made after 2000. And this is only a problem because the devs are being stubborn and refusing to implement full respec.

一开始感觉游戏难度挺高的，穿着工作服挨两下就死，各种地方探索，直到弄到史诗盔甲，直接从10接近100点护甲了，直接进入简单难度了。加入势力才发现第一章结束，给的盔甲好普通，不愧是开放世界，可以先自行探索挺不错的。 就是后面的任务，已经加入遗迹探险还找到很多遗物，结果有的队员和不认识自己一样，甚至还拦路抢劫，客栈都随便混了，结果另外一个任务进房间还要收钱，客栈老板也像不认识自己了。
