New metroidvania Crowsworn is a recent Kickstarter funded game that puts players into a ruined yet gorgeous, hand-drawn world, all with “spandex-tight” controls to boot.
Crowsworn is planned for a release across Windows PC (via Steam), Mac, and Linux, as well as Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft consoles – however developer Mongoose Rodeo notes as we are between two console generations they can’t guarantee it’ll release on all platforms simultaneously.
