The folks at Mythwalk Studios are speaking my language. The studio's upcoming Metroidvania, Dewborne Dawn, is pitched on Kickstarter as a 2D search-action adventure inspired by Hollow Knight, Sekiro, the Legend of Zelda, and perhaps most importantly, Dust: An Elysian Tail, one of the best games of 2013. It looks and sounds fantastic, and with an RPG-like companion system thrown in too, it officially has my attention.
You play as Dew, a cute little blue creature wielding a sword with the power to quell the curse infecting the world of Ephemore. Dust: An Elysian Tail's influence is clear in the way Dew moves and how they, as well as the rest of the largely bestial cast, look and behave. The platforming sections and boss fights in the trailer are giving off some big Hollow Knight vibes, too, but with a more involved combo system rife with juggles and parries.
