I had to look it up, and it’s a phone game. What are you trying to pull here buddy

Ignore this guy, has no clue what he's talking about. I liked it. Worth the money.

They're not sending their best.

>>3973567
basic shitwolf enemy takes 20 hits to down and can kill you in 3 out of 10.

Progression is fine on a second play through but god damn is it a slog on the first.

Is it fun to explore? Is there fast travel unlockable so I don't have to spend 20 mins walking between each settlement every time I need to?

>>3973685
I enjoyed exploring. There's some cool spots you can go to and access areas you get fucked up in early. There is fast travel, but you don't really need it. The map is pretty small. You can go from 1 end to the other in like 5 minutes.

>>3973680
Just upgrade your stats and get good weapons.

>>3973685
There's fast travel which costs money but I believe money is a finite resource so I'm hesitant to use it. At least, I never noticed any monsters or mining nodes that respawned besides some wild beasts between acts, not over time.

>>3973699
How long does the game take to finish? I'm interested but my time is limited these days, takes me like 2 months to finish a 30-40 hr game

>>3973567
Good but filled with browns and manly women and manly brown women in a setting inspired by white celtic mythology. It could have been a contender but for that. I'd play games like it without the shitlib wrapping.

>>3973736
Main story is like 20ish hours. It's only 30ish if you do everything.

>>3973736
First play through was about 40 hours (estimating by my steam count) and that's with exploring the map edge to edge and doing every side quest I could find.

pixel gothic. surprisingly decent.

Pirate or worth a buy?

>>3973757
It's $16, just buy it. Unless you're poor then I guess pirate it.

>>3973567
Absolute shit, don't buy

Not worth to play
Exploring is not fun. There is nothing to explore. Itemization is nearly non existent and exploration nets you potion ingredients.

>>3973780
Exploration nets you end game armor in chapter 1.

>>3973779
So it really is Gothic.

>>3973796
Why would you explore after that
>>3973800
Yup

Ignore the haters, they will hate on anything.
Game is genuinely good. Arguably one of the best indie RPGs to come out lately.

>>3973805
>Why would you explore after you've explored everything
???

To get the items required for it you need to explore all corners of the map. That's it. You're done exploring. You've explored it all.

>>3973779
>always outnumbered and not enough stamina to dodge and attack, results in kiting
Skill issue, beat the game and never had this issue.

>>3973822
I beat the game and spot all the trap choices like light armor. Admittedly the game was overhauled just recently and addressed all of my critique. It's still full of token and strong women propaganda.
>>3973943
I don't cheat, aka use consumabkes, money or quest rewards. Or ranged weapons or spears or shields.

>>3973955
>I don't cheat, aka use consumabkes, money or quest rewards.
Either bait or you're a retard.

>Or ranged weapons or spears or shields.
I didn't either, I used axes.

>>3973961
>bait or you're a retard
Neither, I always forget to use consumables. Menus should be forbidden in rpg design. Just know I booted up ff9 and realized one spends most of the time in menus 'playing' ff9. Not a friend of Rdr2 ring menu, but it's the right design irectin. Secret of mana was likely successful due to this design element and well, it's killer ost.

>>3973746
Basedmods had a mod that fixes this but its down for weeks... Maybe its on another site

just get good. simple.

>>3973736
>akes me like 2 months to finish a 30-40 hr game
why?

>>3973757
>>3973765
pirating is always the answer

>>3973567
It's pretty alright. Combat takes some getting used to, but overall for an indie rpg it's solid

>>3973796
How?

>>3973567
The "dying world" setting is pretty well done. The shadow around the edge of the map actually feels menacing.
Combat takes a bit of getting used to.

>>3973567
pretty great entry to gothic-likes. was tied for goty for me in 2024.
>>3973572
it's not a mobile game, they just recently made a mobile version

Not bad.
The dialogue is shockingly german but that shouldn't be a surprise since german dev.
Incredibly comfy music.
Personally found the world and lore interesting but it's not gonna blow anyones socks off.
Combat is in a weird space where you CAN pure skill so good at video games it but it feels like it wants you to be a little fucking miscreant with all the items available but actually using your full arsenal, while isn't clunky, is just not very engaging since you'll be menu hopping to hurl 40 bear traps and grenades at stuff.
The two factions and progression mostly coming from working with them is extremely evocative of Gothic.

Correct

All recent German games feel like that
>The two factions and progression mostly coming from working with them is extremely evocative of Gothic.
That is the magic of gothic? Having two factions to work for?

>>3980061
No, but the map design and how you can go off the beaten path, the progression, the training being tied to factions, those are gothicy.

>>3980067
I never played it. Is there a HD version? AFAIK it's tacked on the gothic remake.

>>3980061
>That is the magic of gothic? Having two factions to work for?
I didn't say that.
I said that the way it's set up in Drova is evocative of Gothic. Specifically in that the particular way gear tiers and trainers are gated behind faction progression reminded me a lot of Gothic 2.

>>3980088
Maybe. I detest it. It's typical for germoney. FYI the masters of machine engineering that were rocked by the second poorest country of this planet in like 30 years. Sucks to be them, I guess.

>>3980090
what the fuck are you talking about?

Ah yes, my favorite game, Drova Foreskin.

>>3973965

so a retard

>>3973567
It's Gothic crossed with hack n slash sloppa & AI generated plot/characters/writing.

Trash/10

>>3983212
So basically, it is to Gothic what Underrail is to Fallout.

>"Yo so it's a frickin banger that improved everything!?"
>*N** types (real humans):
>"Ah I understand, it's what happens when NPC midwits try to recreate something they didn't understand."

>>3973746
Agree. The gameplay and graphics are good, but feminist shit and brownoids are everywhere.

It destroyed the game for me, and I never finished it. Good thing I pirated it.

>>3983212
>AI generated plot
I did some testing and ai writes really well given the right input and all. Easily better than 75% of all people. It holds narrative structure very well, meaning no all over the place plot either. Unlike most games. Drova has no ai plot, don't be fooled.

I'm enjoying it. I do have some issues, but it's mostly minor nitpicks. I want to to finish it, and probably will do another run later.

>>3973567
Was the update any good? Might do a mage run, despite combat being samey.
