Like with Shovel Knight, Yacht Club Games are partially crowdfunding Mina through a Kickstarter campaign, and in less than a day they’ve already passed the goal. Have a peek in the trailer.
The eponymous Mina is a member of the Hollowers, a group who study the earth and have special burrowing techniques. Something’s gone wrong with the generators she invented to bring her world posterity, evil is spreading, and Mina will need to go adventuring to restore the generators by exploring and bashing baddies.
Yacht Club say, “Smooth 60fps action combat, a world full of mystery and horror, and top-down adventuring combine in a mix that may remind you of classic titles like Castlevania, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, or evenBloodborne.”
