I’ve been following Manafinder developed by indie dev Wolfsden for a long time now, and finally, there is an official release date. Manafinder is a turn-based JRPG that takes inspiration from 16-bit classic RPGs but without taking too much from a specific game. Players will guide Lambda, a member of a clan of exiles who must find mana stones to keep his village safe.
The combat screen recalls Phantasy Star and offers turn-based mechanics with weapon choices and affinity as its main pillars, while the world of Aevi is presented in a lovely pixel art graphic. Manafinder is a PC game due on the 5th of October 2022 through Steam.
Below you can find screens, trailers and info from the Steam page of the game.
Manafinder is a Japanese-style RPG with original pixel art and turn-based combat with an emphasis on weapon selection and elemental affinities. Immerse yourself in this tale of drama and intrigue, hope and suffering, fantasy and morality. Explore the beautiful and fantastical world of Aevi, and fight your way against ferocious beasts and other threats in the quest for manastones as you define the fate of the exiled!
