It isn’t every day that I come across interesting Kickstarter indie titles, especially when it is about east and west making 2D action titles with swords slicing and axe smashing pixelated bloody goodness.
Meifumado
One such title is a post-apocalyptic world-inspired Japan with RPG elements called Meifumado by OldBit. Featuring an in-depth combat system and puts a heavy focus on RPG elements allowing players to change the course of the story and its ending depending on the choices they make throughout the game.
Currently still in plans to release on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox X|S, Nintendo Switch.

In terms of combat, players can switch up to different weapons depending on the preference of speed or that fulfilling heavy attacks fighting style. Moreover, social distancing is an option by shooting bows, shurikens, and throwing bombs is an alternative option that gives it that explosive punch. Besides selling, utilize collected items as well by crafting to upgrade or find diagrams to forge your very own weapons, food recipes, and even drugs to give that extra buff.
Features
- Deep combat system offering multiple fighting styles, special attacks/abilities, sub-weapons, and various weapon types.
- Different non-combat skills: crafting, hunting, stealing.
- Exploration of a vast, detailed open world, consisting of many different kinds of locations divided into multiple Metroidvania-structured levels; each with its unique environment and atmosphere.
- Heavy focus on RPG elements: choices with consequences, multiple endings depending on player’s actions, factions with their own ideologies, that players can join.
- Story-driven side quests with multiple ways to complete.
- Numerous side activities: guarding or raiding caravans, participation in fighting tournaments, gambling.
- Highly detailed, beautiful pixel art with fluid animations
A bit of action. Bombs are quite useful.
