Drova: Forsaken Kin is an action RPG that draws from both the biggest titles of the genre and from Celtic mythology. The game was developed by the independent German studio Just2D Interactive and represents its debut project, while its release was handled by the company Deck13 Interactive.

Plot

Drova: Forsaken Kin takes us on a journey to a dark fantasy world, which has become an arena of conflict for two warring factions. The stakes are high, as the game is about taking control over the power of a dead empire, and consequently - over the spirits ruling nature.

During the game we take on the role of a character who initially means absolutely nothing. As we progress we begin to have an increasingly significant impact on the course of the conflict, affecting the fate of the entire region. How our story unfolds largely depends on the choices we make.

Drova has really taken me by surprise and it’s all the better for it. It’s unassuming, yet pretty, art style belies a depth that’s rarely seen in indie projects. I came into it not really knowing what to expect and found myself enraptured. It’s rare that game will have me pottering about until ungodly hours, but here, it happened to me way more often than I care to admit. This is a hugely ambitious RPG from a new team, and despite a few bugs I loved my time in Drova. The combat and steep learning curve will put off a few but for those who persevere, the adventure is worth the effort. There is a rich world here full of lore and secrets to uncover. The solid writing, engaging quests and cast of characters all contribute to what is a fantastic RPG worthy of your time.

Drova – Forsaken Kin is a compelling isometric RPG experience that delivers a hefty dose of atmosphere, challenging combat, and a world brimming with secrets to uncover. While some minor UI issues and a lack of voiced dialogue might hold it back from true greatness, Drova offers a captivating world for you to explore. Drova – Forsaken Kin is a game that since its release has been overlooked but not underrated, it’s a gem that’s waiting for you to uncover.

GamingTrend: 75 / 100 by Elena Swan

Drova is a fascinating game with compelling themes and worldbuilding, but the overpowered enemies and technical glitches in the game hold it back from being truly spectacular. Despite its flaws, this is a solid game for those who like fantasy and action.
