Runa, the next hit game on Kickstarter, should arrive on Nintendo hardware in the future. The campaign quickly exceeded its fundraising target of €45,000 and currently stands at over €185,000. No consoles are included in the side goals, but it seems the team is already considering other platforms for the future.
Fennec Studio will focus first on the PC. However, the developer is quick to point out that the title is “also designed to be played on consoles and can be played with a controller”. The aim is to release on a Nintendo console in the future – but what that means is unclear. The Nintendo Switch is included as a logo on Kickstarter, but Fennec Studio could choose to instead target a release on the brand’s next console. In addition, the game will be translated into French after release.
Runa is an adventure game inspired by modern and classic JRPGs, with a turn-based combat system, social connections, and a story-rich sci-fi world. Promising to keep what makes classic JRPGs fun intact, Runa also features elemental puzzles and base building, as well as mini-games like farming, fishing, and cooking. Runa takes place in a world where runas symbolize the technological advances of an ancient civilization. Whether for domestic use or for combat, the use of runas is essential. Only certain people, known as Adepts, are able to fully control them and unleash their true powers.
