The mobile version of popular PC/console adventure Drova: Forsaken Kin blends retro, pixellated 2D graphics with the open-world exploration of modern RPGs – and the result is a vast fantasy game inspired by Celtic mythology. Follow a pair of druids into the Land of Legends, where dark spirits, ancient magic and two rival human factions await…

What we love: Sometimes you’ll be looking for clues or having text-based chats with characters you meet; other times you’ll be fighting off enemies with an expanding arsenal of weapons and skills. Your decisions shape your progression through the game and could have significant consequences for your village, and the worlds beyond.

Quick tip: With an expansive universe to explore and lots of actions to juggle, Drova can seem daunting when you first set off. If you get stuck, a quick tap on items in your inventory reveals their hidden attributes, while the Tutorials menu is packed with guides on mastering the combat mechanics, timing your dodges and understanding your character’s stats.

Meet the creator: German developer Just2D released Drova on PC and console in 2024, having been inspired by classic fantasy RPGs such as Gothic and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
