As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for old-school RPGs and a soft spot for pixel art, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon hearing about Drova: Forsaken Kin. Having traversed countless fantasy worlds, I’ve seen my fair share of paradises, but this game promises something entirely different – a grim, dark world where every man is indeed for himself.


Developer duo Deck13 and Just2D have revealed that the game titled “Drova: Forsaken Kin” is now playable on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, as well as PC through Steam.

A launch trailer and description can be found below, via Deck13.

13 Deck and Just2D are thrilled to reveal that the pixel RPG with a somber atmosphere set in a mystical Celtic world, Drova: Forsaken Kin, is now available for purchase! You can play it on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch for €24.99.

In the realm of Drova, you’ll find yourself immersed in a mystical environment, lauded as a fresh beacon. A utopia, some might say. However, your initial joy will soon give way to realization: This isn’t a utopia at all. Monstrous creatures will seek to end your life, and the individuals you encounter will aid you only when it serves their own interests. Drova is a harsh world where every individual looks out for number one.

A RPG Like It Should Be!

In simpler terms, “Drova” is an old-fashioned role-playing game (RPG) that doesn’t rely on quest markers or GPS-like navigation. Instead, you’re free to explore a vast open world at your leisure. It doesn’t have any microtransactions; players pay a one-time fee of 24,99€. Unlike some modern games, it doesn’t hold back content for Day 1 downloadable content (DLC) or generate AI-created content. Instead, it offers a carefully crafted world with approximately 40 hours of gameplay, a deep combat system, and over 250 unique characters to interact with. This game remains faithful to the classic RPGs that inspired it.

Grab your axe, sharpen your blades and explore a grim dark world in Drova – Forsaken Kin, out now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
