Developer ClaudiaTheDev has announced farming and monster taming RPG Ova Magica for PC and consoles. The game is inspired by beloved classics such as Harvest Moon, Azure Dreams, and Rune Factory.
A trailer was also released alongside the announcement which was voiced by Daniel Amerman from the League of Legends office. Check out the trailer below:
With the trailer, the Ova Magica Kickstart was also started yesterday and will run for 30 days until the 25th of February. Any backers who support the game will have access to a limited physical edition of the game for the Nintendo Switch, which comes with a premium certificate to certify them as an original owner and backer of the game. In addition, it also has more physical and digital rewards.
The story of Ova Magica begins when you move to the sleepy town of Clover. You are entrusted with revitalizing an overgrown piece of land into the farm of their dreams – and taking care of cute, mysterious creatures known as “blobs.” The blobs come with special skills that help with everything from farming to protecting you on expeditions for rare crafting materials.
However, that is now all that occupies Clover Town, as there are many quirky individuals from all walks of life with their own unique routines and interests. Train cute blob creatures, take care of your farm, and make friends with the people of Clover Town.
Features:
- Blob Breeding & Training: Ova Magica adds a twist to the farm-sim genre by combining it with a comfy creature raising sim! These cute blob creatures come in over 80 types, and can be cross-bred together to create an almost infinite combination of new blobs. Love them well, and pay attention to their favourite foods and habits to ensure they grow strong.
- Farming: Build, run, and expand the farm of your dreams. Farming is normally hard work but it doesn’t have to be in Ova Magica; treat your blobs well, and with their help you can grow everything from normal crops, to heart fruit, and mushrooms from other dimensions!
- City Building & Progression: You can lend a hand to Clover’s community by sharing in the success of your farm! Helping others is important, and you can pitch in to help put up new buildings, take part in community initiatives, and unlock new things to do throughout the town.
- Romance: Over a dozen unique NPCs with their own special routines, personalities, interests, and storylines inhabit Clover Town. The player can choose to play as either a guy or girl, and is free to pursue any character, including same-sex relationships equally. From the sensitive line cook who dreams of opening his own restaurant, to the tough punk builder who’s looking to make her architectural masterpiece – who will you meet in Clover Town?
- Blob Battling: With your party of strongest blobs, engage in Active Time Battle combat with either other blob trainers, or the strongest inhabitants of the Blob Worlds you’ll explore throughout the game. Learn new skills, grow your blobs, learn the strengths and weaknesses of each type of blob, and prove yourself as the strongest blob trainer you can be.
- Crafting: Ova Magica’s blobs add a unique twist on crafting; work with their special abilities to find new materials from blob worlds, dug up from ore piles, or grown on your farm! Put together an increasingly powerful and diverse range of tools and farm equipment to grow and make new things. Plus, create furniture to decorate your abode, or clothes to decorate your player character!
- Activities: Variety is the spice of life, and when not farming there’s plenty else to do. Spend your off time with a huge variety of activities, such as mining, bug catching, a fishing mini-game, and helping the locals with preparing for the seasonal festivals.
