You can find the full changelog on Steam.



If you are wondering what is DROVA, it's similar to Gothic, but in 2D. Yep, it's that good. It currently stands at 96% positive reviews on Steam (3k reviews total).

The focus of DROVA is exploration and challenging methodical combat, where experimentation is always rewarded. No encumbrance management, no bullshit survival elements, crafting is kept simple and to the point.
It's just you and the world of DROVA, the sense of exploration and getting stronger is fantastic. The lore and writing is overall interesting, with believable and non-overbearing dialogues.

Get it on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox or Playstation. It plays wonderfully on both mouse/keyboard and controller.
