Drova - Forsaken Kin

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。

I started this game on INSANE difficulty and IRON mode so keep that in mind when reading this review. TL;DR (and positive): If you love games like Gothic, Divine Divinity and the like then this game is, definitely, for you. The pixel art is really good. The atmosphere and immersion are great which makes the overall exploration enjoyable. Also the story, some of the side quests and factions are, IMO, the main attraction in Drova. Got me hooked from beginning to (almost) the end. Also the game OST is good. Not great, not bad. Good. The more "in depth" review: The Negative - Even though the atmosphere makes exploration neat... That's true for, at least, 15 to 30 hours (depending on the chosen difficulty and game mode). You are discovering "Drova", the land of legends. Getting used to it, learning traversal and fighting mechanics, jogging from path to path, cave to cave, gathering resources, etc. Then it becomes repetitive and tedious. Especially when you are jogging all over the map, without any means of transport or waypoints or teleport (at least during the first chapter). - Speaking of transport... A cart becomes available to you in chapter 2 (if I remember correctly) when you help a caravan with some side quest (I think this is OPTIONAL but I'm not 100% sure). The thing is this caravan will give you a lift only to 4 specific places. And that's it. There are no waypoints nor portals for you to use. And no mounts whatsoever (even though there are druids and you can summon some ripper dogs and more). So jogging, walking and a good memory (or notepad if you're old like me) are your best bet. And there is a LOT to explore in Drova (caves, dungeons, camps, ruins, etc). - The map is pretty huge for an indie game like this. I was surprised and in awe. Love it. But... Even though you can get ink to place some marks on your map you cannot "write" or make side notes. Which is important because as you progress, you will unlock new skills that might help you reach certain places which you couldn't reach before. And some of these places are INSIDE CAVES. And there are TONS of caves in Drova. So good luck remembering this (unless you're taking notes). Also some roads are blocked so you have to find a way around it. Again, good luck remembering how to specifically reach certain points when some roads are blocked. - I haven't finished the game yet. I'm at the 4th and last chapter (I think) sitting, roughly, around 100 hours. Trying to get the best gear, resources, skills, etc. And, without spoiling anything, there's some specific challenge that feels cheap and rushed. No puzzle. No thinking. Just kill, kill and kill. Against the toughest mobs within a closed room. And the rewards... Well. Not worth it. AT ALL. I'm not against hard challenges. Love them. When they are balanced or "reasonable". And maybe drop some puzzle in there as well. But when it's just 2 bosses with ads, and more ads and... ADS. No. Thank you. That sole challenge made me feel like all the resources I gathered during the first 3 chapters while exploring the whole map were wasted here. All of them. And guess what? Resoruces... They are gone from the map once depleted. They won't respawn. Same as monsters. Although some monsters respawn because of the story. So you have finite resources and XP. Bear that in mind. And the rewards were not worth it. Unless you're using AXE as main weapon (and you can get a better axe for 6k gold if you help the Ruin Raiders faction) and some mask. I don't know. Didn't feel right to me. Also I got so much money that I was able to buy one of the most expensive late game spells just to find out that I could've gotten said spell by solving a puzzle... So no rewards. Just waste of my time and money (unless you're using a guide and know about this beforehand) Overall this last point and not having waypoints or portals (limited portals at least) to just going around the whole map, exploring, unlocking secrets, gear without any means of FAST travel made this whole thing a bit "tedious". I would love to give this game a positive or "neutral" review. But since I love RPG, aRPG's, exploring and being thorough this game falls short during the 3rd and 4th chapter.

Permanently banned from Community Hub for no real reason :) looks like braindead woke and non-neutral Community management. But game itself is good.

我不享受走在路上被土匪轻易杀死的游戏体验

Wow, what a good f**king game. Yeah, it is heavily inspired by "Gothic", but still unique enough to draw in people from outside the fandom. It has great combat, an interesting story, a decent OST (nothing too fancy) but a hell of a lot of exploring and questing. It is an overall satisfying experience right up until the end.

I don't usually write much reviews as I'm too lazy to do so, but just wanted to come here to say THIS IS A GREAT GAME. I wasn't too sure in the beginning, the first hour or two felt questionable but rest assured, the game, the world of Drova will grow on you. It's an open world and there is so much to explore, and you will immerse yourself in the world of Drova. You will literally start with nothing, some stick and a rag, and you will enjoy the progression and the growth and the customization of your character along with it.. how a true RPG should be!

Rigoberto Patapocha se parte la pierna y se le quea toa pocha, recomienda este juego

神作，体量巨大， 内容丰富。但如果要说缺点的话，这游戏怪是不会复活的，所以你前期打死的怪后期学会剥皮技能还要回去再摸一次尸体，这非常的令人烦操，而且没学采矿就把矿采了，就会永久少了好多矿石，因为矿石也是不会刷新的。还有怪的等级压制太严重了，说是开放世界，其实必须严格按照攻略走，不然就会造成药吃完了（采草药自己做和买的药都是一次性的，买完做完就再也没了），后面的战斗只能在没有补给的情况下打了。
