New JRPG A Fighter's Nova: Mindara launches playable prototype and Kickstarter campaign

Posted on 02 Jun 2026

Here's an interesting one - A Figher's Nova: Mindara is using AAA talent formerly at major studios Ubisoft, Betheesda and Ishtar. With an anime aesthetic, JRPG base and some intriguing real-time tag-team fighting action, it caught my attention and so I bring it to you!

About the Game

A Fighter’s Nova: Mindara is a narrative JRPG that blends exploration, progression, and storytelling with fast-paced, skill-based fighting game combat. Players follow Maya, a teenage martial artist, and Mindara, a mysterious wolf-man driven by revenge, as they journey toward a legendary tournament hidden within a mystical city.

When combat begins, the experience shifts into intense fighting encounters where timing, execution, and mastery are key. Each fight is directly tied to the narrative, reinforcing the game’s core identity.

The Kickstarter includes digital and physical copies of the game alongside exclusive goodies and in-game items up for grabs, so you can check the launch campaign out here - if you're quick, Early Bird prices are available for the first 48 hours.

The prototype offers a first hands-on experience of A Fighter’s Nova: Mindara, introducing its hybrid gameplay structure.

Players will:

  • Experience the transition between exploration and real-time combat
  • Discover the dual protagonists Maya and Mindara
  • Try the tag-team fighting system
  • Explore the tone and early narrative direction

So pop over and give it a try. Once I clear my backlog I'll jump in and let you have my first impressions, until then check the game out and see what you think!
