Manafinder JRPG

The pixel art JRPG brings turn-based combat, exploration across Aevi, and a choice-driven story to Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PlayStation this week

Manafinder, an independent retro-style JRPG, will launch on Consoles on April 3rd, 2026.

Turn-Based Combat

This console version allows players to experience the JRPG Manafinder, which was first released on PC via Steam on October 5th, 2022.

The story of Manafinder takes place in the realm of Aevi where Lambda, a manafinder, was sent to collect manastones for a community of exiled people fighting for survival. While the background for Manafinder is reminiscent of some of the most basic foundations of JRPGs, its battle mechanics are quite unique.

Weapon Selection, Elemental Affinity, and a focus system are key elements of the battle system, in addition to a rich exploration of a lovely pixelated world.

Manafinder is approximately 8-12 hours long and takes you through more than 23 Biomes; you’ll encounter over 120 different beasts, side quests, etc., in addition to having 2 distinctly different end chapters depending upon your choices throughout the adventure.

The date is April 3rd, with release planned for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Below the console launch trailer.
