Drova - Forsaken Kin

The endgame is extremely tedious and involves a lot of running around to get quest items. Unfortunately, the game doesn't have teleports (unlike Gothic games which were inspiration for Drova) and the fast travel option is limited to moving between settlements so you just waste your time running around almost empty locations. Quite ironic that devs reward you with a mobility spell for beating the hardest boss in the game though spamming Misty Step is still better. Some endgame fights are very bad as there are numerous bullet-spongy enemies (even with legendary weapons it takes a while to kill them) who cast AoE spells and, in general, are very aggressive so you have to just spam dodges, drink focus potions and cast spells from afar instead of actually fighting these enemies. The game is 2D and player's hitbox is bigger on Y-axis so after dodging up or down you may still get hit which is annoying especially in the endgame due to AoE spam. I really liked the first 20 hours of the game but the more you play it the more boring and frustrating it becomes.

This is an absolute gem of a game, I enjoyed it so much more than I was expecting. I've never played Gothic so can't make any comparisons but bought this on a whim and had a blast. You're constantly being rewarded for exploring, then finding areas where you aren't strong enough, going to get better gear or level up and then coming back to clear out enemies that used to be insurmountable. I found that the puzzles were well designed and obscure enough to require a bit of thought but not so obscure that they make no sense. I may have lucked in to being a reasonable level (Prowess ~100, Legendary gear) but the late game combat felt challenging in such a satisfying way, it was tough but I knew that I could manage it if I was playing better. I'd happily recommend this game. Played through the entirety on Steam Deck and had zero issues.

*sizes you up* - I can see why people are saying it's Gothic like. You can also set difficulty on hight and enjoy tough fights that require skill which is fun. Overall decent experience.

Drova isn’t a bad game, but it suffers from a few flaws that annoyed me a bit. First of all, it looks quite nice for a pixel art game and is fairly well animated. There are plenty of quests, and most of them are interesting. The story is enjoyable, and you really grow attached to the characters since you interact with them regularly - surprising given that it’s "only" a 2D game. The character progression system is average but not unpleasant : it’s very linear and mostly based on loot, there’s no real thinking involved when it comes to building your character. As for the things that bothered me, the difficulty feels too artificial. Enemies are damage sponges and hit very hard. This just drags out fights that aren’t very engaging to begin with. Thankfully, you can mitigate this by lowering the difficulty. However, the biggest issue for me was exploration. There are far too many dead ends and maze-like areas, and you don’t really unlock shortcuts to revisit previously explored zones. If you struggle with navigation in games (or irl), entire sections can become a chore to explore. On top of that, you constantly have to backtrack through all the areas. Combine this with the fact that your character doesn’t move very fast, and the game sometimes feels like a walking simulator… very frustrating. Also, getting the good ending is extremely complicated. Without a guide, I don’t think I would have been able to unlock it - it’s just too tedious. In the end, I still recommend the game despite its flaws, as long as it’s not too expensive.

游戏是个好游戏，内容很丰富，不过对手残不太友好，需要一定耐心。

Epic Game !
