Mandragora has reappeared on Kickstarter with a crowdfunding push from Primal Game Studio. The project promises to fuse the scale and challenge of classics like Dark Souls 3 and The Witcher 3 into a single, brutal RPG experience. Players can expect punishing boss encounters, a lore-rich world, and plot twists that reshape the narrative as they push through dangerous dungeons and war-torn environments. The campaign first drew attention in 2020, and the studio has revisited its goals and progress since then. (VG Times)
Development is led by Primal Game Studio, which is seeking approximately $110,000 (about 6.5 million rubles) on Kickstarter. Notably, the campaign has already funded a substantial portion of its target, and backers still have more than a month to support the project as it moves toward completion. This momentum underscores the studio’s commitment to delivering a substantial, single-player action RPG at PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in the future, with Steam as a distribution channel once ready for release. The team has emphasized the patience and dedication required to translate their ambitious vision into a playable experience that resonates with fans of challenging, lore-driven games. (VG Times)
“Mandragora is set in a universe defined by vivid colors following catastrophic events. Players confront evil beings behind city walls, light the witch’s lantern, and venture into the dark lands of Entropy to unravel and reshape the fabric of reality,” states the official description. The emphasis is on a richly textured world where difficult enemy encounters test reflexes and strategy, while the story unfolds through moments of discovery and peril. (VG Times)
Among the planned features are a moody, lore-heavy world, memorable boss designs, thoughtful puzzles, and a variety of striking locales—from shadowy forests to marshy wetlands and scorching deserts—designed to keep exploration fresh and tense. The game’s setting and design aim to reward exploration and careful planning as players uncover the truth behind Entropy and the catastrophe that reshaped this universe. (VG Times)

Fans and potential backers are watching closely as the project advances toward its stated goals. (VG Times)
