Action RPG ‘Kova’ Kickstarter Campaign is Live

March 28, 2017

Kova is a metroidvania RPG set in a distant, technologically-advanced future when human-kind has colonized planets across galaxies. As Kova Rimori, you spend your days working as a space mercenary. After we get across a foreign beacon, a series of unfortunate events take place. You end up on a uninhabited, icy planet. Wondering about the situation, you begin to unravel the story of Kova. But, be careful; the story may not lead somewhere safe. If you ask the question “Why have humans been alone in the Universe?”, it is never safe.

If you are into sci-fi, this question must be crossing your mind now and then. Your place in universe, your purpose in life, your journey through the time. And all these topics lead you to one mysterious question. Are we alone in the Universe? Well, time to find out.

Here are the key features of Kova:

Join one of three factions, each with their own perks, missions and dialog options
Craft shift upgrades, ammo and other items
FPS-like combat controls paired-down for 2D, allowing you to fully aim and control trajectory
Take on side missions to get information and earn credits, so you can upgrade your skills, ship and weapons
Uncover one of the universe’s greatest mysteries by collecting and analyzing beacons
Explore a variety of planets with their own distinct atmosphere, different town hubs and side-missions to take on.

Kova has been successfully greenlit by the community on Steam Greenlight recently and right after, the Kickstarter campaign went live. An early demo will be available to the backers at “Informer” tiers and above. The demo includes everything from the beginning of the first hostile world mission, then to the first outer hub.

Kova surely deserves support since it focuses on such a delicate matter with graphics look like marshmallows. If you like to give it a go, you can visit Kova’s Kickstarter page.
